Mt 125 Can carry 2 up ? Because it seems there is only place for one

Yes - there is a rear seat and rear pillion pegs! I've removed the pegs as I will not be carrying a passenger but both motorbikes are capable of 2 up.

EvolutionMotovlogs Hi mate, just wondering how tall you are? I'm 16 and ride an aprilia mx 50. At the moment I'm 6ft 5 lol, I'd like an r125 but not sure on the size

Have you gone on any road trips on either? Which ones nicer for long drives?

110% ^^^^^

Actually loud exhausts don't really help with that,the noise is sent back so cars could only hear you if they're behind you.

Noob-alaul Suprem ???? Lmao you’re trolling right

@@professionalspeedster411 that depends on how fast youre going, the only way sound would only be travelling behind you is if you were going the speed of sound which I doubt a lil 125 can do.

@@thestrippingharibo2370 😂

I will watch I'm almost 17 and can ride 125cc when I'm 18. I'm gonna get the yzf 125 I think

@@dxture.3365 nice man I have a full motorbike liscence now

I would like to buy it but the 2019/2021 model is horrible... and the 2018 one is impossible to find...:/

@@francescoparmitani6359 Why are they horrible lol? There's been lots of improvements to those, but some people don't seem to like their looks and I disagree with that, I think they look fine

No worries, happy to help! Cheers :)

+Callum Steele So lucky, ride safe and look after her! :)

Oh nice, I would definitely recommend the MT! Epic 125cc.

Can't have it till I'm 18

KeZo looks like you bought duke instead. Im probably gonna get yzf-r125

Where I live, I can get a moped at the age of 15, light motorcycle (125cc) with A1 license at 16yrs, medium motorcycle with A2 license at 18yrs, and the biggest bikes with A license at the age of 24 years. I'm currently 14yrs and planning on getting a 125cc, unlike all my classmates...

en france le permis A c'est plus 24 ans... c'est A2 à 18 ans (bridé à 47,5 ch) pendant 2 ans puis formation 7 heures pour le permis A et la tu conduis ce que tu veux mais meme à 50 ans tu passes par la case A2 pendant 2 ans!

+Kyle TheTreeKat Thanks for the support - stay awesome! :)

+EvolutionMotovlogs no problem

Glad to hear it! Do it!

Thanks man! Glad I was able to help.. :)

The R125 can be very harsh on the wrist and back, especially if you're tall! It is expensive for a 125cc, however when you compare it to the 'bigger bikes' it's pretty well priced. The MT-07 second hand is pretty much the same value as a brand new 125.

Thank you! Appreciate the support, STAY AWESOME.

Lol

Very nice

I'm glad it helped! Let me know if you need any further information. Good luck on your 125 decision! :)

omg you answered, ok i will absolutely do that

Haha, I always do! Drop me a PM if you need anything..

Oh really? I am indeed :) Thank you for subscribing, welcome to the channel!

Short commutes and practically - go for the MT125. Bragging rights and a toy for the twisties - YZF-R125! I've owned both and really enjoyed both - very similar yet so different.

EvolutionMotovlogs right, thanks. I'm going to go for bragging rights and turning toys.

Thank you!

Hi Jason, thanks for the support! I am indeed. That's awesome to hear and I hope that you and your partner enjoy your training and fly through the CBT with no problems! The YZF R125 and MT125 are literally the best 125cc learner legal motorcycles out there. Very easy to learn on, sufficient power and reliable. The only downside is that they are very expensive motorbikes - especially when you compare to the big motorbikes you could get with the same money! In regards to learning on the MT - it's agile and has great steering which makes it very easy control/ride. The power delivery is smooth and generally everything works as you would expect at a high level standard. The seat height is relatively low (820mm) but may be worth while measuring that against her just to see how high it would be. The rest is up to you, it depends whether you have the intentions of moving up to more power or whether 125cc is suitable. If you plan on staying on a 125 for a short while then it's worth the money. I hope this helps, please don't hesitate to ask me any further question or private message me :).

Hey! Thanks for the kind words :). Both are spectacular 125cc's - I've always owned Yamaha and couldn't fault them. Down to your personal preference really.

EvolutionMotovlogs When is your next video mate?

I don't own it anymore, but I can certainly try and help! What do you need to adjust?

By law you need to display two L plates; one on the front and rear. I always used a rear L plate, but stuck the second on my front bubble screen mostly. (Yes, you could probably get away with one - but I can't be responsible for that).

I literally cannot wait to get on one. For me, it's less than a year away - but until then I've got the baby MT to have fun on! I'll be sure to stop by and take a look - thanks for the support! :D

It's very much so variable. Yamaha YZF R125s range between £1200 - £4500 depending on what year, condition and mileage. The CBT is a one day course and will cost you approximately £100. Insurance is a variable dependent on age, location, NCB and bike. I would expect around £500. I would purchase the best gear you can afford - it's expensive to get started but once you have everything it's just the case of maintaining the bike and paying for fuel.

+Steveo Coombs There is much more wind resistance on the MT125 in comparison to the YZF-R125. You can still easily achieve 80MPH, but the resistance is noticeable! Thanks for the support - stay awesome! :D

Thanks! The WR125X and R are awesome bikes :)

The first motorbike I owned was an Aprilia RS50 - they range from £600 - £100 dependent on conditions. I wouldn't spend too much on your 'first' bike as you are bound to have 'accidents'.

+Pancakes4Life I have used the Akrapovic Full Titanium Exhaust System on both the YZF-R125 and MT125. I do like the KTM RC, the bigger rear tyre is sweet too!

I've uploaded a video in the past which shows my gear, equipment and so forth! It's not the best but you'll get the idea :) Scan through my channel and you'll see it.

Excellent stuff, around the same with my Akra. The performance increase will always be so minimal on the 125's no matter what you do. Remap, Exhaust and such.

Arguably, you wouldn't need to remap the motorbike after fitting the exhaust. Akrapovic are expensive but the best IMO. For example, my MT07 hasn't been remapped and was advised by Yamaha it's 'safe' to use without any adjustments.

First of all, they are both spectacular 125ccs, possibly two of the best you can go for in the 125cc tier. The YZF-R125 is a sportsbike, the MT-125 is a upright naked motorbike. Performance, brakes and handling are almost identical, ultimately depends what style of riding you want to go for.

Usually, there is a C Spanner to adjust the suspension settings.

I'd like to know this too.

As you can imagine it would be hard to answer this question accurately as there are so many variables involved. Insurance wise it depends on your age, no claims bonus, location, employment and much more! My first year on the R125 was very expensive as it's in one of the highest insurance groups and I was only 17. I recall paying approximately £1000 for my first year, this was fully comprehensive with all the extras you can think of. The following year it was due to drop down to about £700. Although I've seen threads of insurance being as cheap as a few hundred pounds.. but generally there are much older than me.

Running costs and maintenance is something you don't even need to worry about. Just add fuel and off you go! I would get approximately 280 miles to £11 or so which is very fuel efficient and cheap per mile. I had completed my own mini service including spark plug, filters, oil change and brake pads - but parts are very cheap and is not something you need to do frequently at all.

+EvolutionMotovlogs thank buddy!

No problem at all! :)

Thanks for the support! I've not come across 'Keeyway' in the past, they don't seem to be a recognizable brand. I'd personally always stick to the top manufactures such as Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki and so forth. You pay for what you get at the end of the day - however they could be great bikes - I've just not had any experience with them before, sorry.

+EvolutionMotovlogs can you recommend any good cheap insurance bikes for starting off at? Thanks 👍🏻

I would recommend using a comparison website such as: Go Compare as they will produce a list of several companies. Go for the cheapest but be sure to do some research on the company before hand!

In regards to motorbikes, insurance will be relatively similar on all 125s. The lower insurance group of the motorcycle the cheaper it's bound to be.

I preferred the MT-125 all round, more agile and easier to ride; also easier to access parts for maintenance as there are less fairings. However, the YZF-R125 is certainty one of a kind, looks phenomenal and very fun in the corners!

EvolutionMotovlogs Thanks .. Everyone seems to enjoy the MT more it seems lol. I chose wisely 😂.

Congrats! You can count on the Yamaha 4 stroke engine ^_^

It depends on several factors... What's your ride style preference? Will you be commuting often and far? Will you often carry out maintenance yourself and need easy access to various bits? The MT-125 in my opinion is better for the day to day to commute, agile through town, filtering and great on the A roads at 60 Mph or so too (comfortable). The YZF-R125 looks the part, gives you the ultimate sportsbike feel and great in the corners and slightly faster due to it's aerodynamics. But it's not so easy to do maintenance on and sportsbike aren't so fun when stuck in traffic (clip on handle bars and harsh seating position). I say, see them both in person and sit on them yourself and you'll know what feels right.

EvolutionMotovlogs Thank you very much for your answer! I guess I will test ride both of them. :)

No worries! Happy to help. Best best it try them both, if you've got any other specific questions always welcome to message me direct.

Most welcome, thanks for watching!

EvolutionMotovlogs shhhh

He recently passed his A1 test I think

+Oliver Stevens I've always ridden with a rear L plate. Generally I have always had a front L plate displayed too, however It once fell off - and just I just didn't replaced it. I've not had any issues since, but of course I'm not advising or recommending defacing or not displaying both front and rear L plates ;).

+Jonathan Smith I passed my Mod 1 but failed my Mod 2 unfortunately. Yet to go and re-take the Mod 2 :)

+Jonathan See my other comment :).

just keep the l plates with you and if u get pulled say some hooligans pulled them off

Yes - identical; I literally swapped them over.

Mt

Yes, 2014 model.

They're pretty much identical. Both 125cc 4 stroke engines which are single cylinder. All 125ccs generally sound the same.

Witch did you end up getting then?

@@alexonwheels4190 my birthday isn't until january so I'm still 15 but I'm gonna get the mt125 but first I need to make sure I fit on it good,I'll do that when dealerships open up again

@@aidanbegovic9584yes we're abouts in Ireland are you from?

@@alexonwheels4190 I'm from Canada originally but I've lived in dublin for the 8/9 yrs

I've not come across the SP525 before. Looks good, and will out perform any 4 stroke de-restricted. Just be aware that 2 strokes require regular maintenance/services.

Sounds great, thanks for the answer

Yes - at 19 you can ride the MT07 on the A2 license. It will need to be restricted so that it fits under the max BHP bracket - You can request for it to be restricted (it's a very simple to restrict and/or remove the restrictor in the future). My friend owns an MT07 which is restricted and he can add/remove the restrictor in 15 minutes.

Yes!!! thankyou for answering, out of everything that is the one thing i realy wanted to know, now i know what bike i will be getting :D

The MT07 is a very tempting choice!

The YZF R125 is in quite a high insurance group, whereas the MT125 is slightly cheaper. Unable to give an accurate price as it depends on your age, experience and location.

They are top motorbikes - I am also very jealous that you'll be on a MT07 soon - best of luck with your test! :)

The MT125 was significantly cheaper - it's in a lower insurance group. There was about £300-£400 difference between the two at 17.

Mrwho I would say Mt , no point of swapping engines at such low cc

put a 180 kit on an the bike will do a 100mph mine does 98mph

Both similar performance and specifications, it's down to the riders preference as completely different style of motorbikes. I personally wouldn't bother with a 180cc kit, stick to stock and maintain it well!

I'm from the Maidstone area, live/work around here - but often go on rides to distant locations.

EvolutionMotovlogs Ahhh right ok :)

I'm from the South, based in Kent! How many miles is the journey each way out of curiosity? Happy to help and advise where I can...

EvolutionMotovlogs its about 3 hours either way but I'm boarding so would probably leave the bike there once I'd taken it up there and then either use it to get around near where I will be.

Very! 11.5 litre tank lasts a lifetime! Good MPG.

Yes - Full akrapovic titanium exhaust system.

Awesome choice on motorbike(s). It's a great motorbike for those who only need 125cc of power!

how tall are you?

bycicle

The seat is very low, 82.5cm to be exact. I could flat foot with much ease, 5ft 8 or so I think?

Hmm ok, is the seat quite cushiony? Because I may be able to shave the seat down or use another material to make it lower.

I don't think you'll have any issues, it be lowered and such anyway. Best bet is to try one/sit prior to purchase pal. Always recommend getting a feel for the seating position and such.

Yeah of course, there a local dealer near me so =)

I'm unsure of your question, sorry.

Good question - if you don't want or need the extra power than the MT125 would be suitable and the A1 license would require less training than the full license on the plus side. However, in the long run if you pass your full test for the MT07 you will not be limited in the future. The MT07 is just a more powerful and improved version of the MT125 essentially. I'd go for the MT07, but that's just me...

+EvolutionMotovlogs .. Thanks for replying, and yeah I probably will end up wanting more power in the future so I think I'm gonna get my full licence done 👍🏼 Been looking at a Suzuki GSR750 🙈 love the look of it haha 😊

Awesome to hear, best of luck with your tests and whatnot! Welcome to the bike life :D

In the same situation. I just want it to commute to work but want something nice looking too.

I think they do a similar variant, It's not called a R125. But it's manufactured by Yamaha and has the same engine, frame and such.

The YZF-R125 and MT-125 have the exact same sound. Both single cylinder, 4 stroke engines. Both spectacular motorbikes, similar yet so different.

Awesome! My friend previously owned a Aerox 50 (the old model) and it was faultless. The new model looks smart too!

buy a 70cc sylinder and a enox exhaust and it will wheelie from the gas

no I dont think so, u should try the ktm duke

I believe I'm around 1.7M, I'd always recommend to sit and try one out for yourself to see how it feels first. Seat height is around 800mm from the floor.

You can also buy a lowering kit which would lower the bike (30mm). Doesnt seem like much but it is a difference. As long as you can tip toe it with both feet you should be good I believe.

okay, thanks for all the answers :-)

i mean if you lower it yes but you wont be able to take someone with you nor take much weight with you

I have sold my YZF-R125, sorry.

sinnis biker ever seen a clown bike? yeah it's nothing like that....

Seat height is only 810/825mm. Best to sit on one yourself and see how it feels.

Mt125

+Jojo Gun Fang Good choice! I can imagine there being much wind resistance - especially since the 07 goes much faster!

+Jojo Gun Fang Hey dude, i'm just about to get an MT-07 .... Is the Mt-07 you bought the ABS version ?

Ziramagic No, well at least i dont know. i just bought the bike. I dont know much about it. Other then its looks and how it rides.

Yamaha MT125, WR125, R125, KTM Duke, RC125 & Honda CBR 125. (4 stroke only).

Gutted, I love the look of the KTM rc125, mpg is good too. Actually, no, not gutted. I'm still getting it! White wheels, nicer decals, tail tidy etc. Such a nice bike for a 125.....would of gone for the mt after that though!

+liam russell 2013 model, registered in 2014.

+Striker What do you mean by courses? It displays speed, revs, temp, mileage, time, indicators, petrol, oil, engine light and much more.

+EvolutionMotovlogs Sry i dont know the english Word, i mean, Show the Display the 1st 2nd 3rd ....

+Striker There is no gear indicator on both the R125 and MT125 unfortunately. But there is a 'neutral light'.

yes they lose like 100 to 200€ of value dunno in $

nobody eh? Per year?

nah i sold mine i think 8 or 9 years after i got it

I retained the same value when I sold mine, albeit I had added extra parts such as the exhaust. But you can't expect additional parts to increase the value.

Nah you can get them for like £2000 now

It's more about comfort, you might feel a tad cramped on a sportsbike whereas a supermoto has a higher seating/riding position. I'd recommend to visit your local dealer and sit on one for yourself, see how it feels!

EvolutionMotovlogs, Thank you for you answerb

EvolutionMotovlogs Can i ask how tall are you?

I looked at the Honda Varadero when I was deciding what 125cc I wanted to own. I've not been on one before but would be very smooth and reliable - however I wanted something more 'sporty'.

Haha that's crazy! I generally tend to use Laguanas and Intas :)

Ahah I am from Sittingbourne but usually tend to end up in Maidstone area because of mates aha, I haven't gone to Intas a lot though tbh, do you go to Reca's Community cafe in Maidstone? I go there every Tuesday if I can make it and there's a group called ONE3 I'm apart of, it's just a group but we have general chit chat and have something to eat and laugh and quizzes etc should pop down sometime if you don't usually go :)

I have heard a lot about the Cafe and keep meaning to give it a visit - a lot of my fellow bikers are regulars! I'll try and make a trip down there soon :D

+Jamie Langley It's been sold. £2450.

+EvolutionMotovlogs They are great bikes though, best of luck with your viewings.

What on earth! They cost £5800 in Norway :( Oh well, i already bought it :P can't wait to get my license and drive my baby! (ensurance costs £1450) :P

That's crazy expensive! Worth every penny though - ride safe :)

Around here they are worth £1400 an upwards, im looking to spend £1600 on mine so i can ride it on august 8th :D

Both relatively comfortable, I found the MT125 to be better for longer commutes and such due to the upright riding position.

Unfortunately, I was comparing my experiences of owning the two - not the same two bikes present at the time of recording.

But in europe you have different laws on your cc your first must be à 125

yeah, over here you just get the regular license and you are ready to go :)

+Ziramagic whitch country

Ramon Iroomo I'm from an Asian country known as "Sri Lanka" :)

+Ziramagic Value for money, you can get a 'bigger' motorbike for the same price. as the 125's. I'd have gone for the MT07 too, but I don't have the license to ride one due to my age.
