Which bike is faster? A 2023 Yamaha YZ125 or a KTM 125SX? Let's find out!
We've been building what we think might be the worlds best 125cc 2 Stroke dirt bike, the 'Minizilla' is a YZ125 that's had the full Hardcore racing treatment. The bike is a fully race tuned rocket ship which a big list of upgrades and modifications. To find out how good the bike truly is we're putting the head to head against it's biggest competition, a race ready KTM 125! We've drafted in a true two stroke prodigy to complete the test, and i think you'll guys will agree that Wal Beaney is a real 125cc savage! :-)
Let me know which bike is your favorite! A huge thanks goes to Roland Shaw, Wal Beaney and Stuart Holland for making this video possible. Scroll down for the secret link! ;-D
As always a huge shout out must go to our awesome sponsors for supporting what we do.

That YZ sounds really strong. There's something about a very well set up 2T that just sounds different. Its like a hard but fairly high pitched thump. You don't hear it much outside factory race bikes but this has it. Thats a heck of a piece of work for a 125cc.

I’m all respect to that younger 😮 !!! What a rider !! 😊 his ktm seems phenomenal , don’t get me wrong but wow even he’s saying that the YZ IS A “BEAST“ 😂😂 I’d rather have his sx 125 in all honesty but that only because of the way it whipped out nicely over all the jumps and didn’t seem to play about too much. It was perfect handling there throughout , The yz 😮 well … the power slide just looked amazing and he ripped the wheel up a few times and it looks really aggressive. Also he mentions the bottom end being there for him aswell !! It’s for the pro’s to play with Im thinking and it’s had a serious load of extras to make it the machine it is today !!! We’ll done all round. I’m really happy I watched this video tho. I’ll always be a true fan guys. !!! Keep sending ❤ from wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Do you know of a place that I can find one or any other kickstart levers that will work for it? Mine is a 20mm spline. Any knowledge would be greatly apprieciated. In 02 they went to a 18mm spline and that is all I can really find. Thank you and keep the videos coming.

@KH-rb1sg Жыл бұрын

Different dynos make different hp figures. Also depends on the temperature, fuel used, jetting etc. And there is no way a stock rm125 makes 41hp and definitely no chance it's making 55hp! That's the sort of figure the factory 250f's are making and it's also stock 450 power. Your rm125 will probably be making 32bhp in stock form.
