Thank-you Yamaha for continuing to build a 2-stroke MX lineup as well as awesome sport quads! Love & own em all. #Yamaha #KTM #Maxima

In 1973, when I was 16, I bought a new Suzuki TM125 motocross bike for about 540 dollars out the door. It was a bad ass 125 for the time!

Thank God, no garbage music over the beautiful sounds from those motors!

I'm always gonna hope to see a revival of the RM line. Love these little 125 two strokes

Don't hold ur breath but it would be awesome. Still have a pristine 06 RM85 bought for my son & revamped whole bike. It's a ripper! We love it & want a new 125. Will be KTM or Yamaha..if Suzuki don't build a new 125cc bike. #maxima

My 05 rm125 is the best handling motocross bike I have ever ridden. Fast 125 I have rode but haven’t rode a newer KTM125 but have had 2 ktm150sx and it’s close. rm125 probably has little better bottom end.

I picked up a 300 mx. It makes my YZ125 feel like a tugboat in comparison. Thing corners like lightning. Engine is mean as hell. Only two stroke I've been on that doesn't get yarded by 450s on straights. In fact, I can now yard THEM. A shootout without TM isn't a shootout. It's 3 and a half KTM's

I only see two different bikes there, really…

What is a good bike for a 60-year-old?

Kawasaki need to resurrect their KX125 ~ 2 Stroke ❤‍🔥💀 I like the YZ125 as my pick from this shootout. As a recreational rider I think this would suit me best. I priced the new 2022 YZ125 here in Australia, and it is way more expensive than in the USA. Best deal I could get was $10,990 !! We have a few local dealers for GasGas, on the east coast here but haven't priced one, would probably be a bit less expensive than the Yamaha, and maybe a better option for the budget. But I do like the new YZ 125 🙃

We do with every shootout. Sometimes the video is the last piece to the puzzle. We aren't first on 4 stroke shootouts because we are racing them every weekend and taking them to different tracks over several months. You aren't going to find out what breaks or really much on a one day shootout ever. We use our faster riders for the videos but ALWAYS have a wide variety of test riders from young/old/fast/slow/skinny/fat. Don't believe us? Follow us on our social channels if you don't already. Thanks for watching!

It’s cool to finally see you guys testing at LACR.

@@rapscallion3421 I blame Honda mostly, tree huggers were just a way to get what they wanted. Honda never liked 2t and only made them to compete in Mx in the 70’s. MotoGP switching to 4t had nothing to do with Cali. Honda is the main reason they were banned in MX and MotoGP. I hate Honda for what they did and I own two (03 CR250, trx400ex).

Awesome guy's Josh great review of 125 shoot out brilliant top man👍🤟❤️

I’d still pick the Yamaha only cuz I had an 05 and it took 2 years to blow the motor and I rode it almost everyday. Plus the exhaust tone sounds way better and it looks sick

Great view of track and mountains! That was different.

GREAT TEST not quiet a full house but a comprehensive test on the four bikes that they had nice work . I ride a 2019 Sherco ser 125 and l like the bike in general after a few changes i.e. S3 pegs factory lowering link (20mm) lowered seat (20mm) gearing to suit hard enduro mid and top end power are awesome but it is a little hard to get it to snap off the bottom dew to what it seems to be heaver fly wheels which do work well for single track i tried to buy a ktm 150 but couldn't find one for love nor money so l gave the sherco a run and l have not been disappointed they certainly no how to build a great bike l cant wait till next test hopefully you guys can get a full house to test time cheers

Love seeing LACR…I know it’s further than GH, But it is a great track.

I'm super glad we've got 2-strokes to ride after the magazines bitched for years and nearly killed them (not all magazines but most). That said, it looks like we've got a good bunch to choose from. Since we not all pros, I would bet most of us would be happy with any one of these rigs; I know that I would. The eval? Well, sometimes I think a lot of these testers would bitch if you hung them with a new rope. I think there's something in there for everybody and the way we now personalize our bikes.....just how much real difference is there? Enough to sell magazines, I'd say................we'll see how they do at the races, not just the pros. It has been amazing how very good the original design was with just small updates. We'll see how good the new layout is as the year rolls by. There simply is no bike as fun as a responsive 125......they seem to weight nothing at all!!

P

Shootouts are pretty stupid. Especially when you see them flip flopping about opinions of pretty much the same freaking bike. KTM, Husky, and GasGas are the same damn bike, with interchangeable parts across the board. These 3rd tier pro riders opinions pretty much mean dick to me because if you have ever met one of these guys, all they do is complain that the track isn't perfect, and that the bike isn't setup for them. They want every bike to be exactly how they want it, and when it isn't they refuse to adapt any riding style to fit the machine. Their opinions don't apply to 99% of the consumer, yet they put these videos out with all of these meaningless opinions. If you are a pro rider you are definitely never taking a bike you haven't personalized, out on the track. So stop reviewing these bike like that. If you are a casual rider you probably won't hardly touch a clicker and won't even notice a difference between any of these bikes. If you are an enthusiast you probably have 5 or 6 different bikes, for 5 or 6 different purposes, and actually like differences in clutch feel, suspension settings, and power delivery, and adapt your riding to each bike. If you took the time to read this whole comment, the moral of the story is take every word of a pro rider shootout opinion with a grain of salt.

Can you guys include descriptive terms and analysis? Read bike tests late 80s early 90s. They went into power characteristics, where bikes made their power, where were their advantages and disadvantages? What are they like to ride. Clutch, transmission, brakes, how do they work? Quoting lap times is useless to a viewer or reader. Describe. The ktm description sounded like a script or pamphlet. What is the low end, mid, and top like? Turning characteristics? Etc. Thank you.
