Em inglês, existe o chamado "street cred". Um valor que mede o respeito e a frieza na estrada. A Yamaha MT-125 tem muito disso, impressiona com o seu aspeto adulto, que faz lembrar muito as suas irmãs maiores. O comportamento e a posição do assento são desportivos, uma streetfighter para a cidade. É aqui que a pequena moto japonesa se sente mais em casa.
