Opiniooons please

[Wilson123]

This is the Rossi version of the YZF-R125, I really wanted it in Black but I could end up waiting until November for that.

Would you say that this is as nice as the Black, Red and Yellow YZFs?

Thanks

In truth, You can tart up a 125 as much as you like, it's still a 125. I'd make sure that you get the one that's most fun to ride, not the one that looks most like a 600/litre bike.
Especially given that the sports bike chassis is designed so that you take all the serious weight off your wrists at about 50-60 mph, there's not really much benefit to shelling out for a race-lookalike 125, other than appearance.

In terms of the nicest colour scheme, though, I'd go for the red, white and black one. Like this:

I'm guessing that it's a 2007/8 paint scheme, though, because it's not on the Yamaha website now...

Would you wait a month for it if you were me?

And I'm getting this bike because of looks, I could care less how fast it goes. Top speed is somewhere around 80 and from videos on youtube the acceleration seems fast for a 4 stroke 125.

It's also perfect size for me

just to let you know. sometime in the near future yamaha are bringing out a YZF R-250.

[Nyarlathotep]

I personally think the black looks nicer. That said the replica is ok, but looks a bit over-stickered for my liking (on the yamaha website anyway).

[Wilson123]

I feel the same, I hope the dealer can get it in Black soon.

if your buying it for looks, you could get a second hand one thats only like a year old. and with the money you save you could get a professional paint job done.. 1 of a kind

[Kwaks]

A month is nothing. If you want the Black and you have to wait then do it.



However, I doubt any one on here would recommend buying a brand new 125, unless you have money to burn its just not worth it. If you do have money to burn then you want this

[The Original Muzza]

I still want one even on full license. Shame they're mostly molested.

+1 on a YZF-R125 being a TOTAL waste of money.

Lot of plastic to break too if you drop it wearing trackies

from what the guy in yamaha dealership in poole said, there just putting the ybr250 engine into the yzfr125 frame. so quality of the bike etc etc, would essentially be the same of the yzf125. which is very good

[Blau Zedong]

[P.addy]

wait, or go for a used yammy 125, seriously check out ebay/bike trader, loads there as people choose them and realise its not what they want.

[clancy]

logicly yamaha should make the 250. there already manafacturing the engine and frame etc etc just a matter of putting it together. plus it would be a competator for the 250r.

but, theyll probably rush it and ruin something. at least there will be more bikes in the 250 range.. currently basicly the only choice is the ninja.

[Mynameisdann]

i prefer the black one just because i deem it to be more understated, saying that though my fave one would be the toseland rep.

dont get a 4T 125. Especialy not a YZF..
If you just need something thats boring and slow then get a cheaper 125 4T.

But whats the point in having a "nice" looking sports bike thats about as fast as a granny mobile electric chair?
Get a mito or RS125 or atleast a 2T. RS125s are good bikes, there fast enough, light, have good brakes, handle well, grip well and are fun to ride and are reliable enough.

I couldn't believe how shit they were when I rode it back from the dealer. I thought it had stalled when I was at the lights because I couldn't hear the engine ticking over but it was. Takes about 5,000rpm before it even moves anywhere.

Sure someone claimed they can do 70mph the other day, I was pushing it as fast as I could an it was doing about 50
