    I think the big speed difference between the 2019-2020 model and yours is that the older models have the Euro 4 exhaust norm and everything after 2020 has Euro 5

      I'd say if you can afford it, go for the yzf cuz as far as 125cc bikes going this as pretty much as good as you're getting but if you're in thr same boat as me, tryna earn your own money, there's the bike, the insurance, the gear, then there's nothing wrong with having a look at some other option z

    Don't laugh but I am between this and the new Honda Dax 125 (that's not even here yet) for my first ever bike.
    Apparently both offer things that excite me so I guess by the time I make a decision I will be changing my mind time and again.
    The Dax is much more practical and the way my life works it would be a no brainer.
    On the other hand I have a career in racing karts spanning 20 years before retiring, so let's say I enjoy anything sporty.
    This is a riddle to occupy my mind going through Summer
