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....
SWM Varez 125 2020

The SWM Varez 125 is a sporty A1 motorbike with some strengths and some weaknesses. Its biggest disadvantage is probably its position in the 125cc market. With the Yamaha MT-125, KTM 125 Duke and Honda CB125R, it faces very strong competition. Because of its seat height, the SWM is more suited to taller A1 riders who don't want to go for the usual, ubiquitous brands, but are looking for something rarer. In addition to its rarity, the Varez 125 can also score points when it comes to eating up radii in the corner and in terms of fuel economy.
