Hi man awesome video I'm thinking about buying the wife an mt 125 to learn on I have a Yamaha xv950 my self and the Yamaha's are brilliant it's nice to a local doing videos too keep it up man hopefully see you about and about 👍👍

Just bought one today can wait to pick it up! Im 6.2 tho and i found it a bit on the smaller side but better driving position than the r 125

Wahey - local boy 😁 Looking at one of these myself. Good vid.

I have been riding for almost 250,000 miles, but I am buying an MT-03 for use in northern Thailand. This MT series is superb.

BigBenMotoVlogs im hoping to either get this one your riding in the video either the 2014 model or 2015 depending on the price or a yamaha wr125x 2013-2015 love both but im 5,7 so i might have to lower it but dont want to spend extra on that

@BigBenMotoVlogsUK

7 жыл бұрын

They should be decent prices for the 2014 models, if you look hard enough you should be able to get one for around £2500ish. I was gonna go for the wr but the insurance was silly expensive, £40-50 per month but only £12 per month for the mt! Lowering kits are easy to come by if needed

Please tell mileage.

Lovely bike

For a 125 it sounds great, what's the stock exhaust like compared to the Scorpion? I'm also looking at a YZF-R125

@BigBenMotoVlogsUK

+6Twisted its always worth changing the exhaust ( i plan on getting the akropovic) but its still good without. the only thing is that you are lookout at at least 11000 for insurance on a YZF and 700 with the MT

Bike is comfortable but as for any bike, after a few hours riding you can get a bit stiff but you can get comfort seats that would solve that anyway. Suspension is great, not to hard and not to soft. Thank you

That's a shame since it's supposed to be for learners but thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I got a Peugeot Speedfight 4 about 4 months ago shortly after my 16th birthday and I'm just starting to think about what 125 to get but this bike is certainly at the top of my list. Thanks so much for making this video because it was definitely helpful and I will probably go ahead and buy one of these bikes. I was considering the CB125F from Honda but in terms of looks and basically everything, this Yamaha beats it hands down, of course it's more expensive but it's well worth it in my opinion. Thanks again
