Technical Specifications Yamaha MT-125 2020 compared to Honda CB125R 2019
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-125 2020
The Yamaha MT 125 is an elegant yet sporty naked bike that delivers a lot of power, especially in the lower rev range. The upright seating position and good handling round off the MT. The disadvantages, however, are that no LED turn signals have been installed and that you protrude above the speedometer when your upper body is bent forward.
Honda CB125R 2019
The smallest representative of Honda's naked bikes does not need to hide at any time, because at least visually it is hardly inferior to its larger Neo Sports Cafe sisters. Admittedly, the 13.3 hp peak power is not the measure of all things in the 125cc segment, but the Honda can score points for this with a ready-to-ride weight of only 126 kg. The associated playful handling of an A1 motorbike is assured - more beginner-friendly riding is hardly possible! As you would expect from the Japanese manufacturer, the CB125R is amazingly well built for this class of vehicle - bravo!
