Yamaha Mt-125
The Yamaha Mt-125 has a top speed of 110 km/h, produces 15 hp and weighs 142 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
Die Yamaha MT-125 wurde 2014 als Teil der „Master of Torque“ -Nakedbike-Reihe von Yamaha vorgestellt und brachte das aggressive MT-Design in das lizenzfreundliche 125-cm3-Segment von A1. Im Jahr 2020 wurde sie mit einem neuen Fahrwerk, einer verbesserten Federung und einem Euro-5-konformen Motor grundlegend aktualisiert. 2023 folgten weitere Verbesserungen, darunter eine aktualisierte Karosserie, die vom MT-09 inspiriert war. Es zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass es eines der hochwertigsten und leistungsorientiertesten 125-ccm-Naked-Bikes auf dem Markt ist und bei neuen Fahrern in Europa beliebt ist.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Strong Long-Term Reliability
The MT-125's single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine is known for exceptional durability when serviced regularly. Many owners report 20,000+ miles with minimal mechanical issues beyond routine maintenance.
Watch the Throttle Body
Some owners report throttle body issues causing rough idling or stalling, particularly on pre-2020 models. A dealer inspection or throttle body clean before purchase is strongly recommended.
Holds Value Well
The MT-125 retains resale value better than most A1-licence bikes due to its premium Yamaha branding and consistent demand. Used models typically sell for 75-85% of original price within the first two years.

"A sharp used buy when history checks out completely."
$2,500-$4,500 usedThe MT-125 is genuinely one of the better small bikes you can buy used, and Yamaha's build quality means even older examples hold together well. The 125cc single punches harder than the numbers suggest — 15hp feels like more in traffic, and that aggressive naked styling isn't just cosmetic, the riding position actually works. Chain and sprocket wear is the first thing to check, because commuters hammer these bikes hard and maintenance often gets ignored. Watch out for stator issues on pre-2020 bikes — it's a known weak point and replacement isn't cheap. Fork seals also go early if the previous owner never serviced them. Always check the service history obsessively; these things attract learner riders who treat servicing as optional. A well-maintained example is brilliant, a neglected one is a money pit. For what they cost used, the MT-125 represents serious value if you do your homework. Just don't rush the purchase.
