"You have this strap which is useless." xDDD

[@sarahharper7083]

I have the same bike. The strap is very useful for carrying your disk lock and helmet lock while riding ;)

[@MattGabnai]

Laughed hard on this.That strap is the only thing you can hold onto when you want to grab the bike at its extremes (I use it to pull it backwards in my garage, one hand on the handlebar, the other hand on that very strap) it's the most useful thing ever...

[@0YouCanCallMeAl0]

It looks so good I'd actually buy one myself (already have a 600cc bike), but it's so fucking expensive!

[@SiggyCloud]

I've been eyeing this for a long time. In the UK you have to start with a 125...I'm seriously thinking of doing a CBT when I can afford one to go and get one of these....it would sure beat the hell out of my pushbike getting to and from work. Also I'm quite picky about what I watch and you managed to keep my attention all the way through so nice job :P

[@greekonmoto4393]

I've tested this bike on Yamaha event in Greece and it is awesome ! It is true that you feel the quality of the bike . I have a CBF125 and it was the first time I've ridden another bike , the thing is I wasn't afraid , the tires and brakes were much better and it felt like I was riding a bike not a "bike" . Also it was much smoother and seemed more powerful . It was pretty cool ! I wanted to ride mt-03 too but I don't have A2 license

[@diadiamisha3725]

GreekOnMoto , did you find Yamaha MT 125 better than Honda CBF125 ?

[@spelasmid518]

@@diadiamisha3725 yes he did...

[@Loudest_Cricket_]

I'm pissed at the fact that Yamaha doesn't offer the MT125 or the YZF125 here in the United States. First Europe gets the two door Fiesta ST, and now you all get two more awesome bikes! Why, Yamaha? Why?

[@jacobsonofhera]

Because in the EU when you become 17 you may ride a 125cc motorcycle (max CC) this is for 2 years then you get an A2 License that allows for a larger CC then A1. So the 125cc motorcycle market in EU is massive!

[@Loudest_Cricket_]

That's clearly no excuse. There's a market for bikes of this nature in North America as well. The Honda Grom for example, has sold like crazy since it launched.

[@tjurem]

in germany you can ride 125ccm (15hp,11kw) with 16

[@jacobsonofhera]

Colton Allen because the Honda grom is very cheap, and also is great for stunting, even if the bike is dropped it probably won't have much damage. Unlike the mt 125 or yzf r125 which are both rather expensive and are not good for stunting.

[@TheMusicLauncher]

Iam 16 years old and have the same bike like in the video, iam german btw (can legally drive it)

[@randomguy-z2l]

lol yay you put the English one up

[@123thesniperdude123]

I just bought one of these (brand new) yesterday and taking delivery of it on monday im so stoked to ride since this is my first bike and im 16

[@lukeandrew3335]

How do you feel now?

[@TheKruxed]

I understand maybe some riders can only use a 125, but these companies are shafting young riders in the ass with these prices. You can have a duke 390, cbr300, YZFR3 , cbr 500 all at near the same price and they are all much more bike

[@brandywell44]

+The Kruxed Check out the prices KTM riders pay in Europe, UK riders are being taken advantage of by everyone. www.ktm.com/gb/ and see the top banner where it says United Kingdom. Then click and you will see the other countries, click to see what they pay. The real problem is the second hand market is less distorted, so if you buy new you will suffer a profound depreciation, even if you look after your bike and keep it like new

[@TheKruxed]

brandywell44 It will differ based on tax mostly, its why a lot of USA and some EU stuff seems a lot cheaper because it rarely ever has tax included in the price for USA and EU has varying rates, as we pay 20% thats a fair old hike on the RRP and then have to consider that its easier to transport to EU hubs than it is the UK due to other taxes. End of the day its basically tax, which is why the 2hnd market is not so bad

[@terryjohn]

well said.ya right about the UK.

[@_TrueDesire_]

for those that want a more sporty position, can always buy the R125 :) the 2016 edition looks great imo.

[@alexanderlinus]

in sweden you can drive a 125cc bike when you are 16 but if you want a bigger engine you are going to need to wait some years

[@jackbor5887]

Alexander finland has the same

[@Bikenization]

When somebody sits on the back of an motorcycle, they should hold on to the driver, shouldn't they?

[@ivantarantsov]

Bikenization yes

[@alexlee8434]

Bikenization no

[@RCFunEveryday]

Depends how you're comfortable, some riders prefer you to hold onto them, some prefer you to hold onto grab rails (which can be put on pretty much any bike) It's really down to preference.

[@terryjohn]

How many gears does this bike have ?

[@victorjensen5647]

[@Axel.No1]

will it perform well with a 190 cm and 95 kg male on top of it ?

[@brandywell44]

Cager, Thankyou. You do the best Yamaha reviews by a long way. Can someone from Yamaha UK explain why this great bike magically rises in price by £1,000 as soon as it hits the UK showrooms compared to the rest of the EU free trade zone? If Yamaha are up to the challenge of retailing in the UK then lets have competetive prices across Europe please. Its not a tax issue as eg France has a VAT rate the same as UK www.yamahafinance.co.uk/motorbikes/mt/mt-125-abs/ then check www.yamaha-motor.eu/fr/produits/moto/mt/mt-125.aspx then cross reference the Euro price here www.xe.com/currencyconverter/convert/?Amount=4299&From=EUR&To=GBP

[@SlimPollack]

+brandywell44 Free trade zone means you can go across the Channel mate and buy it there as well. You will not be able to ride it straight away due to importing procedures and may pay higher insurance premium but probably you'll still be better off

[@brandywell44]

Thanks for that tip. I posted a message to MBK on their facebook page about buying a UK spec bike from them but they didn't even respond. Reclaimation of VAT at the border would be ideal but paying double VAT still works out cheaper, UK buyers are badly let down by the UK Importers and Premier Dealers idea of customer service

[@Palcious]

+brandywell44 Thank Blair :D At least you are always welcome in most other EU countries. The Immigration laws are nothing like yours. Way to go UK gov.

[@Steffen069]

i cant decide between the yamaha mt 125 and the ktm duke 125. Im 16 years old, 1.90m, about 80kg which one would you recomend? or do you think i should buy a completely different bike ? thx from Germany

[@Steffen069]

UPDATE: I got the MT 125 with ABS now the duke is way too small for me but the mt fits perfectly So far i can only recomend the MT, especially to taller guys like myself Very nice bike

[@omarwalker4122]

Longboard FN im the same height and in the same position. I'm stuck between the ktm or the yamaha

[@Steffen069]

Omar Walker the ktm is just way to small for any guy over 1.80m i would say. You hit the tank with your knees and the overall ergonomics just dont feel good. Get the mt125. It feels like a motorcycle whereas the duke feels more like a toy.

[@omarwalker4122]

Longboard FN thanks for the advice

[@FriendlyDiamond]

Only honda cbf OR Yamaha ybr are proper upright riding position but both are a bit gutless and no ABS . It seems you can't get a 15HP 125 that has a proper upright riding position like you get on a scooter

[@guitarplayerforu]

Andy G I did my CBT on a YBR 125 and The MT-125's riding position is virtually the same, plus the MT-125 has more pull too, so ideal if you want take it on the Motorway when you have a full license.
