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.
