Yamaha MT-125 2016

In English there is the so-called 'street cred'. A value that measures respect and coolness on the road. The Yamaha MT-125 has a lot of that, it impresses with its grown-up look, which is heavily reminiscent of its larger model sisters. The handling and seating position are sporty, a streetfighter for the city. This is where the little Japanese bike feels most at home. With its low weight, it weaves through city traffic, and short overland routes are no problem. Only the lack of storage space and the relatively high price depress the generally very positive impression of the A1 bike.

Even in the Euro 5 version, the KTM Duke 125 is the motorbike to beat in the A1 class. Superior equipment, potent engine, good chassis, great display and fun Supermoto mode make not only the heart of 16-year-olds beat faster. The looks polarise, but let the observer clearly recognise the smallest Duke as such. The Duke 125 is not cheap, but it is worth the price.
