Yamaha YZF-R125 2018

Friends of real supersports bikes listen up, because the Yamaha YZF-R125 could be just the right bike for you in the A1 class. The Yamaha focuses entirely on a sporty appearance, which is not only evident in the R6-like look, but can also be felt in the seating position. The load on the wrists is super-sporty and the knee angle is sharp - perhaps too sharp for tall riders. In return, the YZF-R125 rewards not only with a cool appearance, but also with a very potent engine and a confidence-inspiring chassis that invites high cornering speeds.

With the new YZF-R3, Yamaha has taken the very good basis of the first generation and successfully developed it further. It now appears not only visually more mature, but also noticeably more competent at high speeds. When you ride the R3 at the limit, you quickly feel why Yamaha has set up its own Cup on it, as even the standard model gives a safe feeling at high speed. Nevertheless, there is room for improvement, especially in everyday use, when the rough response at low revs and the poor feedback from the brake lever lead to some moments of frustration during the ride.
