First Ride 2022 | MT-125 | 4k POV

[@winstonbartels6671]

This is awesome information for new riders, thanks a lot for putting all of your gear in the video information!

[@HermesRider]

No worries, I'm planning on doing a video going trough everything about the bike, mods and gears

[@jacobquinlan2235]

Tbh this is one of the videos that helped make my decision into getting a MT-125 not a CB125R

[@HermesRider]

Really really glad to hear that, never thought one of my videos would have such an impact. Thank you 🥹. Ride safe ✌️

[@jacobquinlan2235]

@@HermesRider Cheers Bro, you too

[@francii2169]

awesome quality! ride safe bro

[@HermesRider]

Thank you

[@PinkLloyd88]

He rides safe don’t worry

[@HermesRider]

@@PinkLloyd88 ahhah thanks

[@PinkLloyd88]

Don’t go faster then what your comfortable with. I can tell you don’t push the bike much so you should stick with plodding along instead of trying to go faster. I had a mt 125 myself. Loved it.

[@HermesRider]

@@PinkLloyd88 in this particular video I'm not that comfortable with the road, but in some others I push it a little further but I'm always comfortable and completely under control over the bike

[@imreverlandsannes2040]

I can’t wait until I’m driving. Just started lessons:)

[@HermesRider]

It's amazing. Good luck for your lessons and exam

[@nik-pm9pq]

This is going to be my first bike. I'm I going to do a good choice ?

[@HermesRider]

Amazing choice for beginner. You can be easy on it or you can really push it

[@lupo.1287]

KTM Duke 125 or Yamaha MT?

[@HermesRider]

KTM is very good, but for me it's Yamaha all the way

[@JDMz]

Yamaha. Ktm is slow and known for electrical issues and front fork seals failing very often. Both done under warranty though.

[@Maxibsa]

Nice disclaimer 😂

[@HermesRider]

True story!

[@ollie1746]

Hey man could you briefly explain your setup to me? What year is the bike, what exhaust are you using and what other customs have you done to it. Great video brother hoping to get one of these in the coming months. Cheers.

[@stearix7982]

Motorcycle: Yamaha MT-125, 2020, black Exhaust: Akrapovič Racing Line (Titanium) (No DB)

[@HermesRider]

Thanks, it's in the description

Bought the 2023 MT 125 last month awesome bike.great vid stay safe brother

[@janstueker1]

When i drive mine in 6th gear at 70 kmh, i have weird intermittend and loud noises from the front wheel. Do you have those too or can test it out?

[@HermesRider]

6th gear at 70 kmh my bike runs smoothly, if I go slower the bike will stumble a bit because I'm in a too high of a gear but that's normal. No loud noises or anything. If you think it's weird and I should be happening you should go and do a check-up at a workshop

[@thealbertinho9223]

I wonder what you did to get such good wind reduction, been trying to figure it out myself.

[@HermesRider]

Recorded the sound with my phone (native record app), inside a fluffy sock, on my jackets pocket. Thanks

[@thealbertinho9223]

@@HermesRider That’s actually really smart, I’ll make sure to try it out. Thank you!

[@jxnas6646]

Bro nice video but pay attention to your lines in the curve

[@HermesRider]

Thanks, I will

[@vrgracing]

what microphone, do you use?

[@HermesRider]

Just my standard microphone app on my phone, inside a sock, on my right jacket pocket. You can really notice the difference from the gopro microphone on the other videos.

[@jelome8317]

Sick video. What kind of exhaust do you have on the bike?

[@HermesRider]

Thanks, all the gear and equipment is in the description. It's a Full Akaprovic Exhaust system, no DB killer

[@jelome8317]

@@HermesRider Oke thanks

[@NikuaRanger]

Boas amigo, uma 125cc destas é suficiente para a IC8? Estou entre a 125 e a 300 mas prefiro a 125 pelo consumo e peso

[@HermesRider]

Boas, eu acho que a 125 se aguenta bem em nacional/autoestrada, em estrada direita a mota aguenta se bem a 110/120, a subir um pouco menos e a descer um pouco mais. Para mim chega, agr tu é que sabes o que preferes.

[@NikuaRanger]

@@HermesRider obrigado Pereira devo ir pra 125, tenho de fazer um test drive num stand

I'll take your word for it

[@counterserviceintelligence4426]

@@HermesRider IS THE YAMAHA XSR JUST AS FAST? THEY BOTH HAVE THE ENGINE SO THEY SHOULD BE RIGHT?

[@HermesRider]

(Talking about 125cc) The MT, the YZF, the WR and the XSR all have the same motor so they perform very similarly. The YZF is the fastest because of aerodynamics. The MT is, in my opinion, the best one for tight curves because of how easy it is to maneuver and how easy it is to get in and out of a curve. The WR is a motorcycle. And the XSR might be the more comfortable one, never rode one. ✌🏻

[@counterserviceintelligence4426]

@@HermesRiderYEAH I LIKE RETRO MORE 💪 NOT TOO SPORTY.

[@HermesRider]

@@counterserviceintelligence4426 UPDATE! After the MT125 I just bought a XSR900 and yes the retro vibe is amazing, the engine and the looks of the bike is just on point!

[@LulePetrovic]

How tall are you im 182 cm would it be okay for me?

Yeah, I think so. I'm 172cm and fit perfectly, my buddy is 180 something and he has ridden it and fits normal. You'll be fine for sure

[@DangerDan00]

please slow down and learn to ride proper lines first. you're leaning way too far with your body across the middle line in left corners and you're getting too close to the middle line at the end of right corners.

Thank you for the advice, I'm always trying to improve my riding skills.
