Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha R1M 2019

The Yamaha YZF-R1M takes the excellent base of the 'normal' R1 and, thanks to electronic Öhlins suspension and visual stimuli, patterns itself into an excellent race track bike that is well suited for serious racing. Only the ABS system reacts too cautiously, which led to several braking incidents.
Yamaha YZF-R125 2021

The Yamaha YZF-R125 in the 2019 version makes journalists' lives difficult. You search and search for a fault, but can't find one - simply frustrating! Because the 15 hp single-cylinder with variable valve timing (VVA) performs excellently and is undoubtedly one of the best power units in the 125cc class. The handling is convincing in everyday life as well as on the racetrack, even if the chassis shows its sporty side on bumps. But we are on a super sports bike, so that is not a serious point of criticism. Maybe I need to ride the R125 for a few weeks to find its Achilles heel after all....
