Is the Yamaha YZF R125 really a good first bike?
The YZF-R125 is often touted as a great bike to start off with if you are a new rider, and want a sporty bike. With its learner friendly 125cc engine, it's got the looks of a bigger supersport. But others say it is overpriced for what it provides and that new riders may outgrow its capabilities too soon. And the debate is also on whether its sporty ergonomics is best suited for beginners who are still on the process of developing their riding skills. On top of this, some people also say that while it's great for city riding, it might not be so good for longer trips or highways. So, let’s get in to the pros and cons and see what experienced riders have to say about the YZF-R125 as a first bike.
Absolutely worth it! And the YZF R125 was my first bike and I couldn't have asked for a better learning platform. For newbies, it’s forgiving enough, but it still has enough pep to keep it interesting. It also looks like a proper sportbike, which is a big confidence boost when you start out.
