YZ125 vs. KTM 125 2 Stroke | Which Bike is Faster?

[@MchooChoo2]

He's sick at controlling them slides. Top lad

[@999lazer]

Wal is the real deal, such a good young rider. Thanks for watching

[@blandos9581]

I totally agree with you mate !! What a legend 😮 I’m amazed I really am

[@arthurdunga345]

you could clearly hear the difference sounded great thats huge power for a 125 brilliant

[@999lazer]

Thanks Arthur

[@Sn0w1981]

I lol'ed when I heard how much beefier the YZ sounded!

[@siraff4461]

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.

[@aussiehardwood6196]

Yes!! We wanna see the lil YZ eat up some 4t's at the track. Hell yeah!!

[@999lazer]

Haha no worries, we have something pretty special coming with young Wal ;)

[@rumpelstiltskin6252]

both bikes were great ,but mini has a lot of punch out the corner, and that suspension looks lush, 👌👌

[@999lazer]

Its a sweet bike Rumpel, Roland did a great job.

[@rumpelstiltskin6252]

@@999lazer sure did its a thing of beauty to look at, like the 500 real candy

[@ctait831]

I'd take that YZ over the KTM any day!! The YZ sounds much crisper and the fact that a pro rider gained almost a full second on a bike that's not set up for him and he's not used to says it all. Nice work Roland!!

[@999lazer]

Thanks for watching

[@keirhamilton5397]

So the not really any comparison the yz isn't a 125 with the long stroke rod it's a 150

[@zuerri_55]

I love Japanese 2 Strokes. I still Race a Honda CR 125, I would have the Minizilla

[@RJ-wy6cx]

Cr 125's are the best

[@gajmtaj]

Mini zilla sounded nicer . It looked faster too ,looked like 200cc performance to be fare . Great job Roland and Max!

[@999lazer]

Thank you

[@jinoziniosti5633]

Team Yama YZ125s always had that sound,,Especially Jeff Emigs Championship winning bike. This bike needs the early 90s YZs rear brake housing protector with the "YZ" cutout. That would complete it very nicely.

[@Reubambam247]

I'm a ktm 125 guy, have been since 2003, I've owned a yam in that time but always gone back to the ktm. Just from watching this vid you can very clearly hear how potent that yam is, i reckon if i was ther track side the hairs on my arms wouldve been standing on end. Top job. More 1twenny5 content plz

[@999lazer]

thanks for watching, more 125 action coming very soon with this bike...racing 450's

[@PremixandPedals]

I have to admit...both bikes are music to my ears, but that YZ is unreal!!! Not only does it sound good, it looks so awesome!!! Great job!!!

[@jackbeddoes4416]

The video we’ve all been waiting for!!! Keep it up 999 lazar. Best content in motocross action

[@999lazer]

Cheers Jack

[@DaveH-ko2pe]

I would have the yz minizilla sounds so crisp and on point

[@999lazer]

Thanks Dave, its a ripper for sure :)

[@DaveH-ko2pe]

It sure is !! I think if he had some more time on her he could gain another 2 to 3 seconds on the ktm

[@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443]

Like what youre doing, new school performance with old-school looks. I call it retro-mod.

[@999lazer]

Thanks, it is a good looking little bike which also sounds as good as it looks. Thanks for watching.

[@billythomas5056]

No Brainer for me, the YZ 👍 👍

[@999lazer]

Thanks for watching Billy, Roland has done an amazing job with the bike.

[@billythomas5056]

@@999lazer l do enjoy watching your shows, you have really in my opinion put on some real good stuff 👍

[@tobbedahlberg90]

I would for sure want the YZ in my garage instead of the KTM. It sounded far better than the KTM as well. Awesome video and bike

[@gusgiesel]

Both amazing fun bikes but I would choose the Yamaha. Would love to see these in a 250f pro race.

[@kevinmee3501]

Another fantastic production Max, young wall looks like he was born on a MX bike, great seeing Roland bringing his magic again, big thanks max for more video treasure.

[@999lazer]

Thanks Kevin. Roland knows his way around the YZ 125 that's for sure.

[@Acexx.]

Another banger from yall, i would most likely choose the YZ in my garage since thats what ive grown up with. Not saying i wouldnt like the KTM, i love KTM but Yamaha just has a special place in my heart.

[@una283]

I'm a KTM guy for about two decades now, but I'd definitely choose the YZ

[@999lazer]

The KTM is a really good bike too. I think the real winner is the 2 stroke motor :) Thanks for watching

[@Iliketurtles449]

id say a stock ktm would beat a stock yz but with those upgrades, 250fs would have their work cut out for them. that yz is a B E A S T

[@writersblack5360]

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this!

[@999lazer]

Thank you, I appreciate your comment :)

[@henricusrealms8411]

I'm partial to the YZ. And I would love to see him race it.

[@999lazer]

The race will be uploaded in the next couple of weeks :)

[@bbarker5766]

YZ sounded better to me now get custom suspension on it for him and watch 3 more seconds drop I believe.

[@999lazer]

Yes, suspension is the next job for sure. Thanks for watching

[@stigstingray2256]

The starting point doesn't get much better than the latest gen YZ. Awesome tuning work tbf. It's insane how well the YZ handles in stock form. KTM are in front in standard power but their stock uspension is questionable. Put the YZ in our garage any day of the week 😊

[@blandos9581]

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 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@undeadneb8118]

Definitely want to see him ride the YZ! Great video, awesome 125's. Quick question I have a 00 YZ 250 and Im looking for a kickstart lever. 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.

[@straighttimestirrups]

Look for a local Broaching Company and see if they can re-broach a newer kickstarter to a 20mm size if you can’t find a replacement 20mm.

Be interesting to see if Roland could get that 92 kx you featured not so long back upto the same power as a modern stock yz 125

[@BennyBen9]

Awesome the yzilla sounded amazing. That would be grate to see wal racing . Nothing better than hearing a 125 fully used by a good rider.

[@rickstrom6097]

YZ's have the best stock suspension little Zillia 😆 Would love to see a show down between a YZ 300 w/ big bore kit vs KTM 300 SX granted only a few mod's can be made on the KTM but i think there is a real future if they made a Husky/ KTM 360cc that would be the ultimate weapon.

[@nickacelvn]

KTM ouch. Personally, I'm a Honda man. Mind you if I'm honest It's not me pushing the bike to its limits it's the bike allowing me to find mine.

[@Lee-mx5li]

Another great job on video!! Yamaha did significantly sound, and looked, much better!! Wow!! Love Roland and his work👌👌👌.. I'll soon be contacting him for a this level of a YZ 125 MODS, plus, a YZ ZILLA 500... I live in United States so far as shipping, lol, it is what it is.. lol.. his work and expertise will be worth the shipping $..

[@user-de6io5fh6b]

The YZ 125 is one of the most beautiful sounds going as i remember r kids in the early 80s could be heard from miles around the mad head was 17 when he got it 12th april 1982 white yamaha YZ125 i remember it well as it arrived on his 17th birthday and he went straight out on it wheelied it and flipped it came straight off the bike was scratched and scraped aaaaarrrgghh not a good thing proper sick note hewas gutted as hewas used to his DT125175 and the YZ125 was much lighter and had powerband on he just wasn't used to the power bless him happy memories

Ace content mate!Always love watching your real world comparisons. I just bought a 23 ktm 125 sx as a fun alternative to my tricked out 21 crf450r , these bikes are fun . But even with the new mapping KTM put out on the 125 just recently it has random bogs up jump faces, ive shit myself more times in three weeks riding the 125 than in the last 10 years riding 450s hahah, if any one has any ideas im all ears!
