I'm very glad that this video is doing so well, but please keep in mind that when i bought this bike i was very unfamiliar with 2 strokes, and that a 125 and 250 looked the same to me. I had never owned, ridden, or even been around one until i had this bike. Thank you to those that understand! Keep twisting that throttle everyone!

Ignore the jackasses trying to roast you for mistaking a 125 for a 250. The 125 will teach you how to ride and then you could move up to a 250. I just bought a 2015 YZ 125 and it's a blast to ride. I rode motocross back in the mid 90s. I'm now getting back into it.

If you are familiar with 2 strokes you can easily tell the engine displacement by looking at the exhaust pipe. The 250 2t pipe always extends outwards with a hook and the 125 2t always is a smooth curve around the frame.

Wind them gears out a little more, that's where all the power is, if you're not worrying that it's gonna blow up you ain't riding it right

My 89 yz 125 was my favorite bike I have ever had. You'll never be scared to twist the grip, and let it rip.

I know this is an old video, but I had a somewhat similar situation. I bought a bike that was advertised as a YZ 465. When I got it home, and took off the gas cap to put in more gas, I saw that the tank was blue inside (all the plastic was covered with some black plastidip kind of coating) - the trademark Yamaha IT colour. It ended up being an IT 465. I was disappointed at first that it wasn't what I paid for, until I remembered that I rode an IT 175 as a teen and loved it. The IT is from the old International Six Day Trials events, and was a big two stroke Enduro legend - I LOVE that IT 465, and I'm glad it wasn't the bike I thought I was getting.

glad you love it! I personally hate 125's vs a 250 2-stroke. But I'm a track rider so I need all the immediate power I can get. But the bike sounds crisp! You got yourself a beautiful bike there.

I am glad you enjoy your yz125. I grew riding a 78yz125 rocket. Super fast, plush suspension. Last year I bought and rebuilt an 89yz250. I love my bike. It's a third faster than a 125 for sure. When your ready to move up just remember the feeling you have now and a third more on top!!!!

Awesome vid! I raced motocross since I was a kid and my favorite bike I ever had was my 2000 YZ 125! The best 125 is the YZ.

whats the main diference you feel from riding a 125cc and a 250 or 350...? i´m 90kg which do you recommend?

2020, I am thinking about getting a new 125cc.. New rider, first dirt bike purchase, would you still recommend it ?!

Still watch your videos on the daily man

I see your point, but I rode a 250 2t at 13 and I was fast...and my first bike (of my own) when I was a kid was a kx125. At first I needed cinder blocks to get on it. I feel like learning on a bike that is too big for me helped me be more advanced in the long run. Because if you can ride a 450 we'll, you can probably ride any other bike correct me if I'm wrong. Idk, I personally feel like being on a big bike allowed me to be better.

So I have a question I’m into biking but I’ve only had 4t my whole life. I’m 6’2 atm still growing and wondering if a yz125 would be a good purchase

This actually really helped me decide between a 125 and a 250 I’m turning 15 on the 24th of feb and I will get some money and will be able to by a bigger bike then what I have now so thank you

I had a 125 then moved to a 250f for 3 years and then tried tried my brothers 125 again and I realized how much I missed 2 strokes. However after that I moved up to a 250 2 stroke and it has definitely been one of my favourite bikes

Yz 125 fantastic wee bike will teach you alot about corner speed etc.

Do you use 250 wheels? And when you pick up the front end, do you pull in the clutch of just just it alot of gas?

Does your weight determines which dirt bike you should get ??? Like 150, 250 or 450?

I have a 250f and when ever I ride my friends 125 I feel like Ima blow it up.

@Butt Hurtz To my knowledge dirt bikes didn't come with titles until I think 2005 when it was required. I know some states might require dirt bikes to be titled for offroad use so you'd need to apply for one. But like where I live a bill of sale for used bikes or certificate of origin for new bikes is the only required documentation for OHRV registration. The VIN is how you really determine if its stolen.

If you have to ride the bike harder to go fast, are you going to have to do more top end maintenance or just more maintenance in general? Instead of riding a 250 not as hard because it has more power, making the 250 components last longer?

People who complain about 125s not being fast are people who can’t ride 125s fast because it takes actual skill, it’s like working a musical instrument, usually lazy riders who ride the tracks in the wrong gear and have no clutch/throttle control but are saved by the torque of a 4 stroke. 125 is the most fun bike to ride fast but it takes a skilled rider to ride them fast

I'm planning to buy a yz250. Coming from a kx100. Riden the kx100 for years and have mastered it. I just don' t think the 125 would be much different. the extra 25cc probably wouldn't be that noticeable because the yz125 is about 35 pounds heavier and has bigger tires, and therefore geared up in comparison. Am on thinking right?

You can always tell by the exhaust

I liked my 250s (2-strokes) a lot more than my 125s just because it was easier to ride in the woods and way easier to clear bigger jumps on tracks. My 125 was damn near dangerous to ride in the woods because you had to run it so hard to keep the bike alive 😂 I found myself riding my 125 in the woods faster than I ran my 250 because I was forced to 😂 super fun bike. I ride a 2019 xcf450 now and I’m never going back but I pay snag a 125 just to mess around on on the track.... (: good video

That’s some good scenery where you’re riding. What state are you in?

Hello I’m getting into motocross and if I buy a 125 can it support my weight I’m 200 idk if i should get a bigger one or no or should I get new springs thanks!

The sound of that bike hitting the pipe makes me so happy. You got a well tuned 125. A beautiful sound with tons of power.

You need to hit your power band. you let off right before it engages. the power band will almost throw you off the bike. 2 strokes have the best high end power.

GIGAnakki That doesnt hurt 2 strokes WHATSOEVER unless you're doing it constantly at 13k rpm. Every factory mechanic will tell you that's stupid. it takes almost a minute for the oil in a 2 stroke to burn off when engine braking and no throttle. Plus the engine has plenty of lube for engine braking when at idle as they are still taking in the fuel and not burning it off near as much

ShadowOfDeath24 Depends. On my KTM 125 when I got it I didin't know that engine braking is bad for the 2-stroke engine. Gave it probaply 5-10 seconds engine brake on 6-8k rpms and the cranckshaft seized. Wasn't a cheap nor funny mistake :)

maybe you were running too lean already? I've always had mixed fuel in my bikes and never had that happen and engine braked a lot longer than that. Only ever seen mates seize their bikes because they didn't put enough oil in the mix and were flat out at the time, not braking.

Yamaha Life every bike is unique. I had 3% oil mixture and the cylinder and piston etc had 5 hours on em. Some bikes can handle engine braking some don't. Of course you can give it engine brake how you want but me personally on the 2 strokes I ride I don't give engine brake almost at all. :)

I just had a good day riding my 125 in the woods and on some hills. It's one of those good things in life :)

but how il go enduro witg 125 it doesnt have enough power?? Thats why i need yz250

dam how you confuse a 125 for a 250 no title 80% chance it's stolen

Please man, engine braking, just stop it, pull in the cluch :(

Forgive my hopeless ignorance but do you have to pull in the clutch when slowing down on a four stroke? Or just shift back down

+umar dawe Just get into the practice of either being on the pipe or on the brake. Engine braking puts stress on the gear box, which is a lot more expensive to replace then a set of brake pads. The clutch is your best friend.

Hey when your rolling along with out using the accelerator make sure you pull in the clutch because the motors not getting oil without the fuel going into the kotor

Clearly enjoying your bike! That’s all that matters!

just a couple things and i mean no disrespect. but why would you buy a bike you knew nothing about, one look at the pipe would tell you its a 125. and the 125 does fit you very well but i dont think that you should say 80% of people should ride one because for a woods rider like me it doesn't have the torque for some obstetrical i ride a ktm 200xc-w and absolutely love it(bike i started on and it was a bit much but it was perfectly manageable). and just a tip from a fellow 2 stroke rider if you are off the gas and coasting pull in your clutch to stop from oil starvation because your engine gets oil from gas but instead of getting the oil for say 5000 rpm its only getting the oil for 800rpm. i wouldn't worry about it on the track but on trails like this it makes a huge difference.

nick karch he isnt racing he is trail riding, the minuscule performance upgrade from engine braking isnt worth the extra wear on the top end. not to mention that 2 strokes have very little compression braking. so do some research before commenting. these bikes are not four stokes therefor the riding style is different

Not trying to dog your life but someone who cant tell the difference between a 125 and 250 should not be telling people 1. That bike is fast because its not. At all. 2. Most people who ride 250's should be on a 125. 250s have much more bottom end than any 125 which would be much more practical in trails not down dirt roads all day. 3. 450s are easier to "go fast" maybe true in a straight line but not true anywhere else. Trails or track its hard to control and the tire rips right out from under you. However i can agree with learning how to clutch it and staying on the pipe can be benificial in the long run. Ive had 125's,250's(4 stroke and 2 strokes), and 450's. The best bike hands down by far is the 250 2 stroke if you have any experience on a dirt bike you can ride it well and soon master it. That bike probably is a great fit for you though. Top speed around 60, not much power, and fun to ride in a straight line. Occasionally go to the track and hit the tabletop and try all day to clear it. With your buddy recording on the far side until you finally make it then post a youtube video labeled "SENDING IT ON THE 125"
