Review
The 2020 Yamaha MT-125 is a stylish and sporty entry-level motorcycle, perfect for new riders and urban commuters. Its 124.7cc single-cylinder engine produces 15 horsepower and 11.5 Nm of torque, providing adequate performance for navigating city streets and learning the ropes of motorcycling. The bike's aggressive styling and modern features give it a premium feel. The MT-125 boasts a relatively high 810mm seat height, which may be a consideration for shorter riders. The 10-liter fuel tank offers a reasonable range for urban riding. The 41mm upside-down front forks and single front disc brake (with optional ABS) provide good handling and stopping power for its class. The 6-speed gearbox allows riders to make the most of the engine's limited power. This motorcycle is aimed at young riders and those new to motorcycling who want a stylish, capable, and confidence-inspiring machine. Its combination of sporty looks, user-friendly performance, and modern features makes it a popular choice in the 125cc segment.
