Saving up for my yzf r125, your videos are the closest thing to riding it myself for now. My gf catches me watching these all the time lol. Thank you
Hahah, get her to subscribe ;)
You get it? 😂
I’m saving for one now did you get yours?!
@@jamescollins7085 hey bro, did you get the bike???? im saving to buy one too
I got one and I love it fun bike feels like a big bike
They do, they feel amazing!
@@NathRides what model is it? Like in year...
@@isakgran6280 2019 I think
Mate it’s a small bike
@@farishenderson5738 did u miss the "feels like"?
It’s a fantastic bike I have owned the following
Honda cbr 125 2008
Honda cbr 125 2009
Honda pcx 125 2012
Yamaha yzf 125 2014
Honda cbr 125 2016
Suzuki gsxr 125 2018
Current bike Yamaha yzf 125 2019
All these above I’ve had since brand new and I can tell you the new yzf 125 2019 model is obsolete it’s rapid , top end decent , reliable and can take a lot of abuse im 30yrs old and been riding 12 years and this bike puts a good smile on my face !!!
It’s a feel good bike and very agile and whipable and forgiving easy to get low down and the wider back tyre on this model compared to previous models is very very noticeable and confidence inspiring !!!
Get one get one get one haha 😂
Seriously for a 125 it’s unmatched in every way possible and price is reasonable for a Japanese bike so 👍👍👍
Have a cool 😎 day peps ride safe
I'd say the 2019 YZF-R125 is the best 125 on the market!
Hiya, thanks for the advice, just started riding and on your advice I’ve bought a Yamaha YZF R125. Stay safe riding. Thank you.
Ride safe!
Oh yeah Nath, my Mrs said I've to stop watching you ffs, since you definitely influenced my new 2 motorcycle policy at mine & bought a 2018 YZF-R125 to keep my MT-125 company! 😂400 miles I've done on the YZF-R125...Since Thursday & never even sat on a Super Sports model until then & just loving it! 👍😎
No way 😂 tell your Mrs to start riding one😂
give the girl the mt-125 and you can ride together ;D
Brilliant little bikes I have the 2010 gen 1 and still puts a smile on my face !
They're amazing bikes, can't complain with it!
@@NathRides your right there man !!
I have an 2008
looking for a sign to get this bike and you're even driving it in the town i grew up in, im sold
Ah no way! I'm glad I could help you decide!
i have to admit this is the nicest looking 125 ive seen yet i want it but im broke lol
I was doubting the R125, but I'm all sold now!
It's a brilliant bike mate!
Just rode one yesterday... Don't buy it. It is a glorified moped.
@@rokml2000 Yeah, thanks for your opinion, but I've riden one too, and it's personally faster then my 50cc, soo...
@@StefanShift Well yes and the 50cc is faster than a bicycle. I'm just sayin', you're spending a lot of money for not a lot of bike... You'll outgrow it quick. As you said, just my opinion though.
@@rokml2000 that's entirely true, but as long as i live in Europe, i can't change thr law and restrictions on the power capacity per licence, so i guess it's gonna be another couple of years before i can get on a "real bike".
Love the video, I just passed my CBT... do you think I should go straight for yzf-r125 or maybe have a bit of fun on the grom first and practise more
Thank you mate, join the YZF-R125 gang
Like your video mate all true points 🎉🎉
Thank you mate!
Good video mate
Thank you mate!
I bought the 2022 R125 60th GP Anniversary edition yesterday.. 💪 it’s a beast
Ayyy! Sexy!
has nice weels, whats the top speed
If you get the chance ,, try a 16t front sprocket ,, (you will loose 81 and stop at 73,, BUT you were talking about big-bike feel .... That's what the 16 made me say about my V3 YZF
I will have a look at doing a comparison!
Iv got a nsr125 as my weekend bike but was looking at one of these s a daily rider they do seem the best one out of the four strokes keep up the good work buddy 😎👍🏻
They're the best, thank you mate!
Love my rieju rs3 for the money
I got a 2021 MT 125, and it is the same as the YZF-R 125. it is quick for a 125cc :D
The YZF is a little quicker because of the windscreen and aerodynamics. :)
Send some pictures over to my instagram! New MT looks amazing!
Yeah but its just a Other feeling to Drive the yzfr
@@wasgeht272 i guess? I feel it to be more comfortable, but the speed is around 5-10km/t slower on MT than YZF-R
Underrated
Thank you mate
I'm 15 and I got my moped like 3 months ago I had it tuned once but I dropped it because I wanted to drive legally so I'm saving up till I'm 17 and then going to buy this bike for sure
Did you end up buying one or did another bike end up catching your eye?
I just brought a 21 plate in white beautiful bike but don’t get white with the yellow wheels they get so dirty you have to clean it every week, also I had the 2012 r125 also a lovely bike
Hahah, buy some Muc Off, amazing cleaning stuff!
Ordered my YZF R 125 2019 it comes Tuesday!!!
Ayy!! Send me some pictures!!
Same bra :D
You cant order a 2019. Theyre out of stock from the manufacturer...
@@JDMz idiot
ESPERO Q ESE MODELO LLEGUE A PERU Q SU REPLICA ES DAVEST 200 🔥🔥
No way. I was casually watching this until all of a sudden you pulled into the town I grew up in 😂
I’m abt to get a yzf in February as well 😂
haha yeah! you'll have to come for a ride sometime!
@@sethseth8041 U got the Yzf? :D
top goes around 10 to 12k happend to me all good now though
can you do a video on how to change gears?? looking to learn how to ride a bike
Yes mate, of course!
If you find some videos on CZcams (there’s loads) of just how to ride a geared bike you’ll get the feel for it because to the best of my knowledge the gear lever at your left foot and clutch on your left handlebar is pretty universal across geared bikes
Hi would you say the older or newer model was better. I had a 2015 model but considering getting another but might go newer.
Hi mate, 100% the new ones
Well, I'm hella early aren't I?!
Yes you are chef
Is this bike good for riding through places like town and mainly short distances as I’ve heard the seating position isn’t great. I’m 5ft 10 but just want your opinion
Yes mate, it's the most comfy bike I've ridden and I'm 6'2!
You from oxford bro? Im from chipping norton ahaha just got a 2014 r125 and got my cbt next week
I am yeah :) very nice choice mate, good luck on the CBT. Will I be seeing you at the meets?
9:00 lol kinda true
Hi mateim 28 and im gonna start doing my cbt soon I'm thinking of getting a ktm rc 125 for my first bike I've never riden a bike is it hard or will I find it hard to do gears and clutch or not or is it easy thanks
It takes time and practise to get gears right but you'll get it don't worry! Everyone learns one way :)
Just founded one in sell. My questions as a guy that never had a byke ..is it automatic speed changing? Is it heavy and big compared to others? My brother bought a byke some time ago,its huge,he never drived it🤣😅
I actually thought its lighter compared to others and it's a manual
What year is your bike. I had a 2015 model which I now regret selling. I'm now looking for another but they are hard to get new
They're certainlly more difficult. I had a 2014 now a 2019!
Can someone suggest what 125cc bike is good for 100 mile journeys every weekend as need to travel to London and back to see family
I get over 300 miles on my YZF-R125 before filling up!
They are so good for the money
Yes they are! They're amazing!
I got a 2023 one and I’ll trade it for the r7 when I pass big test
That is an amazing idea!
I’d expect a 125 to make me a coffee for £4,500 new!
Hahaha, it also empties your wallet for you ;)
I'd really want this one to be my first one, is it good for beginners?
Yes It is mate!
I just got the last yzf in the store and I’m taking license soon. Is there something I need to know?
Ay nice one mate! Just learn the highway code and you'll be good!
Have you been up against the aprillia 125.
Also my brother has a 2019 yzf-r and he cant shake my 2004 cbr 125r from behind him.and im quicker of the lights.dont get me wrong i would prefer a yzfr to my cbr,just looks so much bigger and better
I have been before! It was a close call! Both as good as each other!
Yesssssss another 2004 cbr
I’m currently split between an Aprillia RS125 or a Yamaha RZF 125 but it seems like the Yamaha’s are way easier to find on eBay etc, and the majority of RS125s on eBay are the 2 strokes which sounds fun but I’ve learnt with 2 strokes you need deep pockets to keep them maintained and running. I got a mate who had to do a full bottom end rebuild on his bike because it blew up (a 2 stroke)
which camera did you use for filming?
GoPro hero 9 black!
what mpg are you getting when riding steady
Screen said 99.9mpg but unsure if thats right :)
I’m thinking of starting to learn motorbikes is the yamaha R125 a good starter? If I do it will be a daily bike
Yeah! The R125 is a great starter bike, it will introduce to motorbikes and it has reasonable power!
Hi I was thinking either this bike or the Honda cb125r. Back story I want the fastest 125cc and the most reliable bike u described what I wanted but is it reliable or should I go wiv the Honda ?
I'd go for the YZF-R125 mate, most reliable 125cc I've had but compare specs and insurance prices before you make your final choice!
@@NathRides I was in the dealership wiv them yesterday brother😂😂😂
how much did you pay to insure your yahmaha yzf125r for the first time? Ive been quoted from around £3000-3500+ which i think is absolutely ridiculous.
It was £800 for my first YZF
i'm whaiting for over two monts for the 2022 yzf125 whats the top speed?
You'll see above 85 easily :) take it slow if its your first bike though mate. What colour did you go for?
what about honda cb125r 2021?
I haven't tested that yet, that's a good shout!
Is it worth buying a 2008 yzfr125, like are there any huge faults it could have considering its about 12 years old?
Age doesn't need to be taken into consideration as long as its been properly maintained!
08 and maybe 09 have a faulty fuel pump from the factory which you might need to replace but it isnt that expensive or hard. Also be aware of the mileage cuz these bikes like to start eat oil after some time. but as long as it's been taken a care of the age itself doesnt matter
Im 5.4 at the moment and im 15 years old. Im gonna do my A1 when i turn 16 and expect to grow a little. Is being 5.4 or 5.5 too short for this bike? I LOVE IT TOO MUCH
You'll only be able to do your CBT and ride a 50cc at 16. You need to be atleast 17 years old to do your A1 license for a 125cc unfortunately
@@lmpudent3015 thats not true because my friend also did this its prob cuz i live in the EU in slovenia thats how the rule is
You can get the bike lowered and I'm not familiar with your licence rules for your country unfortunately so I can't say
Wich exhaust are you using?
It was a £20 end can from eBay haha
Im 18, doing my theory rn, what are all the requriments for me to get a 125cc bike?
If you're in the UK mate, all you need us a CBT to ride a 125cc on L plates or to ride without L-plates you'd need: CBT, Theory, Mod 1 and Mod 2
How much is it I’m saving up for 1. Do u still recommend it?!
Yes mate, I 100% do!
I want to get one when I can ride on the road in 4 yrs time u do the maths
What am I working out mate?
@@NathRides how old I am now if I’m 4 yrs time i can ride on the road
Your 13?
@@d-paddan5393 yay well done
9:00 😂😂😂
Me so so sad no lxr for me... cant het the finance so im having to get the new lxs
Awh no :( keep looking and saving mate!
@@NathRides i might even go for an older model which year would u recomend
P.S love ur vids like looking forward to next meetup vid quite a crew on ur last one 🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍
Ooo, good question. Any year is perfectly fine!
I has my 2010 yzfr for 3 days and I gat ran off the road it only had 7k miles
Thats so sad mate :/ Insurance payout though?
@@NathRides yea but they ain't paying me out what it should have been
I want this or a wr125
Both are excellent choices!
Please what year is this bike
It was a 2019
how tall are you Nath mate? I'm 6ft2 with one of these and I feel too big for it
I'm also 6ft2
@@NathRides maybe its cause I am used to super motos
I am still not sure if i will buy the yzf or the mt.. i like speed (when its safe) but i also want to go on trips and riding for multiple hours at a time.. I like the looks of the YZF way more than the MT but i don't want to be dead AF when i am riding for a long time.. any suggestions on which one i should choose?
I'd say YZF-R125 2020 due to personal preference but the MT would be better for longer trips due to posture :)
The same dilemma here mate, I'm still 16 rn and I ride a 50cc supermoto, but I'm really looking into the MT and YZF, i feel like they're both great bikes, but it'll all come down to preference at the end!
for long rides buy a mt i have 2008 yzf r125 and its not as comftrabile as my friend mt125 depends on your riding style
@@Gibby8 I wanna go on long but sporty rides
@@StefanShift get a mt125 it has the same engine as yzf r125 but more comftrablie seating position
I might get a 2019 is it worth it
Yes mate, 100%!
I'm 1.85 cm, can I ride this beatufil bike?
Yes you can ;)
what model is this ( year?)
Yamaha YZF-R125 2019
Do you think a Yamaha r125 is too small for me to ride as a woman? (I’m 178cm or 5’10)
Hi, I think thats a good height for this bike :)
@@NathRides Thank you!!! I’m getting my first bike and I’m between an r125 and a cbr250😭
How much is the inscurance
Check out an insurance comparison site for a better quote but I'd guess for a 17 year old anywhere from £600-£1800
what is the loudest exhaust for the yzf r125 2020?
Probably DanMoto at a guess :)
@@NathRides so I have heard but I just dont really like the looks of the danmoto, I was thinking of the scorpion red power maybe
Black widow
@@alecdenheld9864 black widow is louder then the scorpion
@@madgaming810 thanks for the info, I already bought a giannelli x pro exhaust and it sounds pretty good too
Im a new rider can anyone tell me what pillion is thank you
passenger :)
Correct!
@@NathRides not long before i’ve got my own if all goes well
Just got a 2022 mt 125 and in my opinion there not worth the 5 grand price you could get your full test and decent 600 with insurance for the year at that price. Wish id of just waited lol had the bike 2 months and its already up for sale 😂
Thats a good point haha, too expensive these new ones
@@Mt24855
That's inflation and development costs.
Back in mah day, all we 'ad were a plank o' wood an' two pram wheels...
No, when I started two strokes had just been killed off and the big boys toys all made the switch to fuel injection.
But carbs and simplicity were still the order of the day for the learner capacity.
Now safety and emissions have forced everyone to more complex fuel injection and must include ABS, which is all added cost along with the pound being valued a whole lot lower than back then.
Is the Yamaha worth more than some of the competition?
Dunno, the smallest bike I've ridden in the last 15 years was a KTM 390 courtesy bike while my RC8R was in for some work.
There's barely any difference in power with any 125cc, ive beat my mate with a Honda that has less power and he had a yam
Ah you'd be surprised! They're all very similar with slight differences
Anyone know how to get this shit shipped to the US?
Good question actually!
What's 0 - 60 mph without pillion
It's like 10 secs I think
9-10 seconds :)
I’m 6ft4 and 18. Should I get this as my first bike
Yes mate, go for it!!
@@NathRides what’s the highest mileage one I should get. I’m not really good with bikes and don’t know which ones high mileage
get a 650 and drive it illegaly
@@kezwefnm5791 20000miles
hey mate I’m 6ft5 so a bit more than you but I’m not heavy do you think i will fit well ?
Hello
Hi There :)
Where do you buy the bike?
Brand new - From a Yamaha Garage. 2nd Hand - From Ebay, Facebook, Auto trader :)
@@NathRides do the actual Yamaha website online sell them?
1:46 laughs in 2stroke
Hahahah *BANG*
hahaha stil runs good after almost 40 000 km😅@@NathRides

Riding pillion on a CBT?
I have an A1 :)
@@NathRides ah sorry lol! I did think that was a bit strange lol! I love the r125 though. I had a 2009 model a few years back and loved it. You ride it 100% everywhere lol!
90mph top speed don’t forget
It's good!
Don't forget speedos aren't accurate. 80mph GPS
@@JDMz gps is less accurate
Is it good for tall riders?
yes im 6.2" and its good if you are taller than 6.3" get the yamaha wr125x its supermoto and it has a tall seat height
6’2 here aswell and fit great on the yzfr125
I'm 6'2 and fit great!
I ordered it few days ago, I was so scared that i couldn't fit on it.I'm 6.3" btw
You will be fine it’s a big bike for a 125
Hey bro im planning on buying an R125 (im 18 and currently taking the A2 MC driver license) but im 163 cm (5ft 3 inches). Am i tall enough to drive this mechanized beast?
Yes mate, you can always get the bike lowered too :)
@@NathRides you can do that with the r125?
How much for a second hand one?
Depends on the mileage, for example I am going to get the 2013 model with 18000km (~11k miles) for 2800€ (2400£)
I'm 17 living in west London and I've been quoted £1700(cheapest) to be insured on my 2016 Yamaha yzfr125
Oh and btw that's with 1 years no claims bonus would have been £2200 if I didn't have 1 years no claims
Im from Europe so my insurance and registration is 350£ a year so it’s not expensive but have an 2008 model
Oh wow, that might be because of your location mate. Unfortunately I can't tell you why it's expensive as so many factors go into it
@@NathRides I live in the one of the biggest cities in my country ,125cc bikes have really low cost of insurance and registration and I paid 1500£ for my 2008 yzf r125, my friend has the 2020 mt125 and he paid 3800£ out of the Yamaha dealership it’s really cheap to ride
Well that's your biggest problem living in London. Its higher insurance due to the amount of thefts for bikes that are stolen. Now if you lived in somewhere like a country side thats not known for crime you will pay far less for insurance
before you buy the yamaha yzf-r125: Check your passport or any form of ID and if you’re 17 or over, don’t buy it and get a car👍🏽
Motorbike > Car. Some people's opinions are different! A car could be great for you but a motorbike is perfect for me. Its way cheaper and quicker!
good advice 😝😝😫😫😎😫😎😎😎🙄🙄🙄🙄
you're really persistent aren't you
Before you chat shit make sure you have a car or a bike 👍🏽
@@NathRides wronggg. at 16 i had a yamasaki ym50 that cost £950 and insurance was like £350 when i turned 17 i was looking at getting a suzuki drz125 which was like £2500 for a 2009 one and like £900 insurance... i got a car and insurance for less than that
dude what are you even doing 5th gear on 50 kmph
Its MPH :)
o my bad then
why are you using mph in the UK just wondering@@NathRides
@colonel7652 That's okay. MPH is standard in the UK, we don't use Kmh :)
No way you're in bicester? Lolol
Haha yeah!
@@NathRides literlaly just moved, lived there for 3 years though.. small world right, I was instantly like hang on a minute
Haha, that's great. I've been here most my life:) small world 😂
Get a msx125 thank me later
Ahah, I'll have a look!
Its almost a scooter.
How is it haha
@@NathRides compared to a 650-600 it's a scooter haha.
Haha, I think you mean moped like a 50cc. There's a lot of 650cc scooters about like the Suzuki Burgman
@@NathRides yes moped lol
It's close to a moped but much better than a moped trust me 😂 my 50cc was shite
епте хехе
you'll have to rebuild the engine 7 times XDD
power lol
What do you mean?
@@NathRides he's being sarcastic. Another words its just a 125. They don't have power. Unlike bigger bikes. Hes basically saying.
i can do your top speed in 1st 😂..
Na, all jokes aside, it's a great little bike. looks brilliant. ride safe
Hahah I bet you could on this but I'm on an MT-07 now so.. and 2nd gear? ;)
