- Which bike is faster? A 2023 Yamaha YZ125 or a KTM 125SX? Let's find out!
We've been building what we think might be the worlds best 125cc 2 Stroke dirt bike, the 'Minizilla' is a YZ125 that's had the full Hardcore racing treatment. The bike is a fully race tuned rocket ship which a big list of upgrades and modifications. To find out how good the bike truly is we're putting the head to head against it's biggest competition, a race ready KTM 125! We've drafted in a true two stroke prodigy to complete the test, and i think you'll guys will agree that Wal Beaney is a real 125cc savage! :-)
Let me know which bike is your favorite! A huge thanks goes to Roland Shaw, Wal Beaney and Stuart Holland for making this video possible. Scroll down for the secret link! ;-D
As always a huge shout out must go to our awesome sponsors for supporting what we do.

I lol'ed when I heard how much beefier the YZ sounded!
He's sick at controlling them slides. Top lad
Wal is the real deal, such a good young rider. Thanks for watching
I totally agree with you mate !! What a legend 😮 I’m amazed I really am
That YZ sounds really strong. There's something about a very well set up 2T that just sounds different. Its like a hard but fairly high pitched thump. You don't hear it much outside factory race bikes but this has it.
Thats a heck of a piece of work for a 125cc.
you could clearly hear the difference sounded great thats huge power for a 125 brilliant
Thanks Arthur
I'm a ktm 125 guy, have been since 2003, I've owned a yam in that time but always gone back to the ktm.
Just from watching this vid you can very clearly hear how potent that yam is, i reckon if i was ther track side the hairs on my arms wouldve been standing on end.
Top job. More 1twenny5 content plz
thanks for watching, more 125 action coming very soon with this bike...racing 450's
both bikes were great ,but mini has a lot of punch out the corner, and that suspension looks lush, 👌👌
Its a sweet bike Rumpel, Roland did a great job.
@@999lazer sure did its a thing of beauty to look at, like the 500 real candy
Yes!! We wanna see the lil YZ eat up some 4t's at the track. Hell yeah!!
Haha no worries, we have something pretty special coming with young Wal ;)
I'd take that YZ over the KTM any day!! The YZ sounds much crisper and the fact that a pro rider gained almost a full second on a bike that's not set up for him and he's not used to says it all. Nice work Roland!!
Thanks for watching
So the not really any comparison the yz isn't a 125 with the long stroke rod it's a 150
I have to admit...both bikes are music to my ears, but that YZ is unreal!!! Not only does it sound good, it looks so awesome!!! Great job!!!
The video we’ve all been waiting for!!! Keep it up 999 lazar. Best content in motocross action
Cheers Jack
I love Japanese 2 Strokes. I still Race a Honda CR 125, I would have the Minizilla
Cr 125's are the best
Another fantastic production Max, young wall looks like he was born on a MX bike, great seeing Roland bringing his magic again, big thanks max for more video treasure.
Thanks Kevin. Roland knows his way around the YZ 125 that's for sure.
Mini zilla sounded nicer . It looked faster too ,looked like 200cc performance to be fare . Great job Roland and Max!
Thank you
Team Yama YZ125s always had that sound,,Especially Jeff Emigs Championship winning bike.
This bike needs the early 90s YZs rear brake housing protector with the "YZ" cutout. That would
complete it very nicely.
Hello fellas Matt from Australia
Just wanted to say hi and thanks you so much for putting together once of the videos regarding the same stuff. Much appreciated Roland's input again Beautiful job Much love and respect from Matt Australia. PS enjoy a have a wonderful Merry Christmas.
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this!
Thank you, I appreciate your comment :)
thank you for putting out the solid content
Luv it👍 my two dream bikes the yzilla & minizilla! What an awesome pair can’t wait to see them both on the race track. Keep up the great work Max ur killing it w/ur videos👍👏👏👊
Awesome vid + both decent bikes 👌
Epic vlog Max! Can’t wait to see the Minizilla go up against some 250F’s 👊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
Thanks for watching
I would for sure want the YZ in my garage instead of the KTM. It sounded far better than the KTM as well. Awesome video and bike
Another top vid matey and wal was having it as always. Hes a top lad and i hope he goes all the way well done to all the 999 lazer team 👍🏆
that YZ is sweet, be cool to see a dyno comparison, another great video Max love watching all your videos, cheers mate from a crossed the pond hear in New Hampshire
Thanks :)
Mad riding skills!
Awesome channel awesome bikes keep up the great work guys
Thank you
Another banger from yall, i would most likely choose the YZ in my garage since thats what ive grown up with. Not saying i wouldnt like the KTM, i love KTM but Yamaha just has a special place in my heart.
Like what youre doing, new school performance with old-school looks. I call it retro-mod.
Thanks, it is a good looking little bike which also sounds as good as it looks. Thanks for watching.
Both amazing fun bikes but I would choose the Yamaha. Would love to see these in a 250f pro race.
Awesome bike and sounds so sweet. Bring on a shootout with mini Zilla and the daddy Zilla. Just a thought and great vid Max
;) Stay tuned Kevin
Amazing video🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Matteos
Brilliant 🎉🎉🎉🎉
best channel.
Be interesting to see if Roland could get that 92 kx you featured not so long back upto the same power as a modern stock yz 125
Awesome the yzilla sounded amazing.
That would be grate to see wal racing . Nothing better than hearing a 125 fully used by a good rider.
Another great job on video!! Yamaha did significantly sound, and looked, much better!! Wow!! Love Roland and his work👌👌👌.. I'll soon be contacting him for a this level of a YZ 125 MODS, plus, a YZ ZILLA 500... I live in United States so far as shipping, lol, it is what it is.. lol.. his work and expertise will be worth the shipping $..
That lad is some rider! Hard to beat the Yamaha machines also. 💪🏻
lovely Sounding Yamaha,Great Tuning Job,
Thanks for watching Robert
I’m all respect to that younger 😮 !!! What a rider !! 😊 his ktm seems phenomenal , don’t get me wrong but wow even he’s saying that the YZ IS A “BEAST“ 😂😂 I’d rather have his sx 125 in all honesty but that only because of the way it whipped out nicely over all the jumps and didn’t seem to play about too much. It was perfect handling there throughout ,
The yz 😮 well … the power slide just looked amazing and he ripped the wheel up a few times and it looks really aggressive. Also he mentions the bottom end being there for him aswell !! It’s for the pro’s to play with Im thinking and it’s had a serious load of extras to make it the machine it is today !!! We’ll done all round. I’m really happy I watched this video tho. I’ll always be a true fan guys. !!! Keep sending ❤ from wales 🏴
What a beautiful sound
Thanks Tony
No Brainer for me, the YZ 👍 👍
Thanks for watching Billy, Roland has done an amazing job with the bike.
@@999lazer l do enjoy watching your shows, you have really in my opinion put on some real good stuff 👍
I would have the yz minizilla sounds so crisp and on point
Thanks Dave, its a ripper for sure :)
It sure is !! I think if he had some more time on her he could gain another 2 to 3 seconds on the ktm
good production cheers
Thank you
YZ sounds cracking!
I'm a KTM guy for about two decades now, but I'd definitely choose the YZ
The KTM is a really good bike too. I think the real winner is the 2 stroke motor :) Thanks for watching
Ace content mate!Always love watching your real world comparisons.
I just bought a 23 ktm 125 sx as a fun alternative to my tricked out 21 crf450r , these bikes are fun . But even with the new mapping KTM put out on the 125 just recently it has random bogs up jump faces, ive shit myself more times in three weeks riding the 125 than in the last 10 years riding 450s hahah, if any one has any ideas im all ears!
Thank you. Not sure on your KTM 125, hopefully some one will comment and give you some ideas.
Yz all the way Great video
YZ sounded better to me now get custom suspension on it for him and watch 3 more seconds drop I believe.
Yes, suspension is the next job for sure. Thanks for watching
The starting point doesn't get much better than the latest gen YZ. Awesome tuning work tbf. It's insane how well the YZ handles in stock form. KTM are in front in standard power but their stock uspension is questionable. Put the YZ in our garage any day of the week 😊
Kid definitely rips👍🏻 the YZ sounds super crisp and potent!
id say a stock ktm would beat a stock yz but with those upgrades, 250fs would have their work cut out for them. that yz is a B E A S T
Definitely want to see him ride the YZ! Great video, awesome 125's. Quick question I have a 00 YZ 250 and Im looking for a kickstart lever. Do you know of a place that I can find one or any other kickstart levers that will work for it? Mine is a 20mm spline. Any knowledge would be greatly apprieciated. In 02 they went to a 18mm spline and that is all I can really find. Thank you and keep the videos coming.
Look for a local Broaching Company and see if they can re-broach a newer kickstarter to a 20mm size if you can’t find a replacement 20mm.
@@straighttimestirrups Thanks for the info.
Ebay!
Yz 125 would go nicely along side my 250f when the right bike comes along ill be getting one
I'm partial to the YZ. And I would love to see him race it.
The race will be uploaded in the next couple of weeks :)
A thing and sound of beauty ! Little john from chichester
Thank you LJ
The us sounds and runs awesome
Minizilla for sure. Would love to see him whoop on some tractors!
Ace video as always, Yamaha two strokes rock 💨💨🏍🏍🏁🍾👌🤌
Thanks for watching MisterBruce :)
Badass i have one 2003 yz125 i love
The YZ 125 is one of the most beautiful sounds going as i remember r kids in the early 80s could be heard from miles around the mad head was 17 when he got it 12th april 1982 white yamaha YZ125 i remember it well as it arrived on his 17th birthday and he went straight out on it wheelied it and flipped it came straight off the bike was scratched and scraped aaaaarrrgghh not a good thing proper sick note hewas gutted as hewas used to his DT125175 and the YZ125 was much lighter and had powerband on he just wasn't used to the power bless him happy memories
Not only a bike that handles well and don't break down is what you need yeah u need fast too😊
Definitely love the yz I'd av it in my shed next to my yz250 Cr500 and kx450f
it would sit well next to those bikes :)
Lil'Zilla on looks alone...even though it sounds awesome and rips! The Wise Ed Wins!😉
Yup, I agree. Its a fine looking bike for sure :)
@@999lazer Yes it is!
Yes, put that sixteen-year-old Speed Racer on their YZ an whoop some 4-stroke Butt🎯💪🙏🇺🇲💯
:) its coming
Come on the minizilla 👍🏻
He used to race KTM, not anymore 😂, great bike guys 💨💨
Thanks for watching
would a yz125 with only a 144 athena kit and the rest stock lose to this yz125 with this exhaust and cylinder head?
yz for sure
Yamaha by far for me...
I would choose the Yzed.... Awesome bike,and builtby the best!!! God bless. Matt, KY.
Yes we do want you to race it
coming very soon...and its worth waiting for :)
hell yea
Thanks for watching
Y Zilla sounds awesome looks likes it jumps out of the corners !!
Thanks for watching Don
@@999lazer thanks hopefully see you all race it soon!!!
YZ's have the best stock suspension little Zillia 😆 Would love to see a show down between a YZ 300 w/ big bore kit vs KTM 300 SX granted only a few mod's can be made on the KTM but i think there is a real future if they made a Husky/ KTM 360cc that would be the ultimate weapon.
Yamaha siempreeeee, y si le hace las suspensiones le saca un segundo,está claro, enhorabuena al preparador ! Muy buen trabajo !!!Yamaha 2 stroke power!! Yes
That yz sounds nasty
YZ Mini Zilla...is Bad Ass, for sure. And with only running stock suspension.
ive gota 06 rm 125 with alloy hardcore racing engine covers
What fuel is in the bikes?
Please test the fantic
Yz all day long that bike sounds crisp
Thanks for watching
YZ 💯🔥
thos are both good bikes and sound amazing but i have a question, only 37hp tuned?
like, no offense but my rm125 (2004) makes 41hp stock and its doing about 55hp right now, are the newer bikes less powerful because of emissions rules?
otherwise, Keep up the great content!
Different dynos make different hp figures. Also depends on the temperature, fuel used, jetting etc.
And there is no way a stock rm125 makes 41hp and definitely no chance it's making 55hp! That's the sort of figure the factory 250f's are making and it's also stock 450 power.
Your rm125 will probably be making 32bhp in stock form.
@@KH-rb1sgI agree. I’d be very interested to see a video or some form of proof of that high number
What year was the ktm
I'd go for the yz
Why didnt u use the GoPro time on the Yammie? The YZ sounds better in my opinion "thru my phone", after some suspension work she will be amazing!
we did :) on the day we timed them both on our phones but then checked both times on the gopro. If you check out the secret link in the video description you can watch them side by side. Cheers Max
@@999lazer thanks Max, I missed the super duper Top Secret Link. Going back to watch it now!
KTM ouch. Personally, I'm a Honda man.
Mind you if I'm honest It's not me pushing the bike to its limits it's the bike allowing me to find mine.
YZ 125 is my favorite
Can you see if you can make a Yamaha DT125R as fast as a YZ on bottom end , I did but only the people that sore it and rode it believe me
@@justincoats7236 what do you mean DTR is a 2 stroke like a YZ , it’s only gearing
@@justincoats7236 what do you mean DTR is a 2 stroke like a YZ , it’s only gearing, I had 4 , an i have had a YZ 250, a CRF is a gay 4 stroke
KTM is the big boy on the block with all those 2-turner options.
You ask what bike I would want in my garage? Thats simple, all I can afford and every last one of them!
Is it a supermoto track?
You'd better race that yz125 yeah bro
Im gonna prefer the YZ regardless. It's just overall cheaper to own and maintain.
Pura música!!!
Full gas ✊🇧🇷
What is that 5hp gain going to cost us?
Yz baby
Go to go with the Yamaha.
You have to pick the Yamaha, they sound the same but the KTM suspension takes too much money to turn it into a stock YZ KYB. Yamaha = bullet proof
He loved the suspension because it’s a Yahama
The miniZilla of course
