Yamaha MT-125 2018

Yamaha MT-125 2018

If you compare the Yamaha MT-125 with its 2018 rivals, it quickly becomes clear that it can no longer compete in terms of equipment and looks. However, underneath its dusty dress is an excellent naked bike that keeps the sporty aspect at the top level. The MT-125 is stable in the corner and offers enough punch out of the corner to outrun the competition. Its geometry is also very inviting and gives the feeling of being on a much more powerful naked bike. So the MT-125 has done it - even four years after its release, it is riding at the top of the A1 naked bike class.

The Yamaha YZF-R1 is mature and makes countless racetrack pilots happy. The engine shines with lightness and agility, the seating position surprises positively and the handling is radical but still "suitable for the masses". The machine immediately stands out visually and also because of the heart-warming sound. Especially on the country road, the bike scores with its well-known strengths: great engine, great electronics, great package! A real pleasure to ride!
