Great review, by far the most usefull and in-depth one I've seen! I feel almost exactly the same as you about this bike, I owned a late 2012 model for 13 months and it was a great first bike. The fuel economy was great and it accelerated up to 40mph exceptionally quickly for a 4t, even more so with a Malossi forcemaster ECU that I had installed to help with the arrow exhaust which I can agree sounds great, it raised the rev limmiter up 1500rpm so you could hit 28mph in 1st and 41in 2nd gear. I also reached the same speeds as you normally reaching 72 on flat and 83 bouncing off the limmiter whilst going down a hill with the wind behind me. My biggest gripes were the suspension and weight; I found the front forks way too soft, I even had them chatter mid corner which was terrifying. After riding a proper supermoto I realised just how heavy the WR is, it really would be nice if yamaha updated the bike with a lighter/better frame, better quality plastics and some proper USD forks.
+Draft_ Thanks Draft! Thats the one downfall of the WR its the suspension, offroad works well however on road it just dosen't cut it considering the price tag, its amazing to think that the ktm smc 690r weighs the same weight as the wr yet outputs around 70bhp! Hopefully Yamaha will watch and learn a thing or two, after all they make awesome bikes its just a matter of perfecting them :)
Great review! My first bike was a WR125X and it felt fantastic to drive. Sadly, it was stolen last week - but the insurance is going to replace like for like, so should be back up and running soon.
+Two Wheel Review I'd popped by work, which is a private compound with barriers and CCTV at the entrance. I parked it in the secure motorcycle bay, which is under cctv and outside a glass wall that the reception looks out onto. Because no bikes have ever been stolen from there, I just left the steering lock on. I guess these guys had been casing the place out. They rode onto the site to the side of the barriers, wearing helmets, cased the place, and when the receptionist left her desk, broke the lock and hot wired the bike. They were in and out in 2-3 minutes. No idea what security was doing during this time. They're on CCTV, but I cant see the bike being recovered. A harsh lesson to learn. I've now bought a almax chain and disklocks to use whenever I'm off it. I'm also going to get biketrac fitted and considering an alarm / immobiliser.
+spammachine Sorry you learned the hard way, i had an expensive pushbike stolen and now with the motorbike always keep a chain around frame, disc lock on front wheel and alarm on

Here can anyone help me see when you take off the fairings on a Yamaha wr125 see the pipe on the tank fairing is that for fuel overflow if anyone knows could you let me no thanks
16 and 6 feet tall, rode a scooter once in my life, Im looking to buy this bike when I'm 17. Will I get bored soon? Is it a good bike for wheelies and mild off roading?
Great review! I'm so glad I found your channel, because in the last years the WR 125x reviews were hard to find, even in major biking channels, and sometimes I wonder if it's due to its high buying price that potentially turns customers away. You did a sweet job with your WR! My bike came with Pirelli tyres as well and I changed to the Michellin Street Pilot tyres, which give my bike a great grip on the road and esp in rain they really do a fantatstic job! Also distance wise, my front tyre has 16000 mi on it and is still in good condition and my back tyre lasted 15000 mi! Great quality! I have tested the petrol consumption many times and with a 8.5l petrol tank the furthest I have ridden- having overtopped the petrol tank to maybe 9 liters- is a 109 mi. That's were the 6th gear comes in handy, otherwise the 5 gears do me just fine. I live out in the country so naturally I've tried it offroad and its heavy swingarms hinder the bike from clearing obstacles....then again, I'm a big dude......the WR 125x is made for the road. Having reached 25.534 mi on my bike- keeping it well maintained and indoors at night- it's in great shape and I've never had one major issue. Be careful though with the oil cap...it's like butter :-) ....Thanks again!!! It's a fun solid bike and I'm a keeper!
+hanz koenig Nice little overview there Hanz, it's nice to see another Wr125 owner who can attest to how much fun the bike is! Unfortunately most major biking channels disregard 125cc's which is a real shame as in my experience there is so much to offer in terms of 125cc motorcycles, safe riding! HarveyTWR
+Two Wheel Review Cheers Harvey! Yea... 125's or a litre bike or a supersport or...Bikes are fun all around! I agree with you though...125's deserve more coverage! love your vids! Keep it going! All the best and safe riding...
Everyone says it's seat is uncomfortable, but why? I haven't had any problems with after driving 2H . I sit very far back also so that could be it ( I sit mostly in the middle because its comfy for me)
Cool I'm the same height so that's another question answered . I think £4.200 is a bit much for a 125cc bike but you do get what you pay for I guess . Good review and very helpful .
just wondering, what tail tidy is that? and is that stock number plate size? or did you change it? cuz people i know have changed the size of their plates to fit more under the rear fender
+Callin Davidson This is an ebay custom made tail tidy with a tinted light, I'm currently running a 6x4 numberplate however you can run a full size 9x7 just about, its the indicators that don't space out long enough to accommodate the number plate sadly, however it can still be mounted if it has the right holes drilled :)
Is there a difference between the 2010 model and yours? I see that on this bike the exhaust is almost straight while on the 2010 one i goes up and to the right
hi, I'm thinking of buying this bike as my first one, would you recommend that? From what i've read some people recommend that as a first bike because it will help new riders develop their skills. The main reason i want a bike is for some around the town driving during rush hours, going to the beach and solo mountain trips and trail riding. Moreover I'm worried that I'm too big for that bike, 6ft2in. and 234 pounds. What is your opinion?
If you're worried you're too big for the bike, go to a yamaha dealer and try out the wr125r aswell, it's made for dirt-biking and the only difference is tht it has slimmer tyres, and it's quite a bit taller than the wr125x
very nice video what is more easier to ride Mt 125 or Wr 125 x and which one you will choose for a first bike I really don't know what i choose, i like the both. Thanks
+Ali Al Jaber Choose the one which you love the most, personally i have not ridden the MT but it features the same engine as the wr (slightly different gear ratios) The ease of ride would depend on what characteristics you prefer in a bike and comes down to rider preference, try and find a friends one to have a quick ride or check out an MT125 forum, i personally love the WR because of its performance, reliability and overall fun off and on road! :)
what about security on these bikes? They look so easy to steal and do you carry anything during a commute? Sorry got a phobia of the bike being stolen... nice review :) have you been on a motorway and if you have is it easy to overtake?
At minimum I have a disc lock and alarm, motorway wise the wr cruises nicely at 68mph depending on the wind and overtakes comfortably up to 60mph before it starts to feel sluggish! :)
+Two Wheel Review Hi, i am 5 foot 6. Will i be able to get 1 foot tip toed on floor? I love this bike and absolutely great review. It's a shame our silly UK licence makes this bike only have 15bhp.
SuperMotoGuy99 With a good set of boots you should be able to, possibly even get 1 foot flat footed, have a try at the dealer and possibly look into a lowering kit for the wr125x :)
+Two Wheel Review yeah. I was looking at a website called cycle ergo. it's a great site to see how big youll look on a bike. I need to learn how to drive a car first (June this year) I like motorcycles more than cars because of the fun. :) ride safe.
actually this video was even better! well put together :) how does it handle off road in supermoto trim? greenlanes and such. also what size plate is that
+ash bandicoot Hey ash the numberplate is a 6x4 from Ebay, bit smaller than I expected but never had any problems. Tbh with supermoto tyres the Wr grips well as long as they have plenty of tread and the surface isin't too boggy and the tyre pressure is lowered, check out some of my more recent videos where 3 of us take our wr's offroading!
+Two Wheel Review we do some hard core greenlanes and my friends wr 125 r keeps shorting out also after pressure washing, what have you done to waterproof your bikes m8?
Luke Handyside I had the same problem, make sure the cover on the HT lead isin't letting any water onto the spark plug and its screwed on tight worked for me :)
ok,i was thinking a new 1 as the stnd 1 doesn't look up to much tbh, is that all? the battery seems to die quite easy when damp did u have that problem.
A nice well-rounded review, mate. I think I was spoilt when I was 17 as my kmx125 would do 89mph. Was possibly derestricted by previous owner I guess - as that's faster than many bigger bikes can go. I'm looking at the WR as a runabout for the summer, to re-introduce me to riding again after many years.
They're cheap and easy to modify apparently. Different sprockets, Full DEP sports exhaust (plus derestriction modification to fully open/enable KIPS Power Valve) and you could be looking at 21-23bhp... checkout the review on MCN if you don't believe me. They were the most stolen bike in britain at one time. I bought mine how it was. And after my bike was rebuilt after some twat crashed into me, it was much slower. So I assumed the previous owner had derestricted it, and during the rebuild they re-restricted it.
Hadn't heard of the KLX125. Just looked it up - I'd steer well clear myself. If I was gonna buy a 125 presently, I'd go for a WR, Varadero or YZF125R -- maybe a KTM125 (if I had deep pockets) or even an Aprilia RS125 (stunning and pretty fast)
You said in video you can go 65 mph ( how long you can drive like this without destroying the engine?) but normal vmax is about 72-75 mph. It's only 7-10 mph difference, engine wont die?
hopefully get a wr125x to start learning manual even though I'm 22... just going to wait till i'm 24 to do direct access, but getting a used wr125x for around £2k mark sounds worth it
i'm 1,63m tall.. i got a yamaha aerox.. its 82,5cm high.. i had no Problems with it. i want to buy this year a wr125x, but the question is, is the wr to high for me? or can i ride it?
+dennis Hi Dennis with your height you'll find the wr very hard to even get one foot down, get some decent boots and try a dealer if not maybe try the mt125 which is lower down :)
I think it does have a nice slick look to it. I had something like this as my learner bike some years ago. Was great for having fun and learning how to move the bike around and also playing in the loose stuff. You look taller in the videos 😜
+gadgetsandwheels Thanks :) agree with you there, supermoto's are great fun both on and off-road something which can't me said about a lot of bikes, i reckon its the boots giving the extra inch! How does the Gs cope with some light offroading?
+Two Wheel Review Depending on the tyres, it isn't too bad but it's still a heavy bike so it requires more effort to do it. I've had very limited experience of it and tended to stick more to the roads. I think with the new RT, I'll be able to tootle off on trips either with a tent or nights in hotels and still have as much fun as with the GSA. What have you got planned for next year then?
Wanted this bike originally, couldn't find one anywhere near london for decent price, then went for the R125 got denied finance, then got a grom. Still love these things tho.
There is a youtuber called "Fil" who had a wr 125 x for about 2 years. He's tall 1,73 cm and I think the wr fitted accurately for him. Sorry for my bad english
Yes, If you have the correct license, Anything other than a CBT is acceptable, A roads are more chilled compared to a M road, but I wouldn't advise it especially if your riding in high winds etc, even big lorries would be overtaking you etc.

@@supermotomike3008 what about yamaha dt 125 i have been thinking about that too because it is 2-stroke and has incredible amount of torque and power and it obviously should be unrestricted in the power department.
But...when I buy a more realistic daily commuter with a transmission or engine built that way it would be that new Honda. But I'd hope to have a far buy then so I wouldn't need it for that or if I do then I'll buy it
I bought my 2011 WR125x for 1400€ which is about 1200£. The bike has worked pretty much perfectly. So if there's anyone watching this video still and thinking what beginner bike to buy, this one is a great choice.

agree with you there, supermoto's are great fun both on and off-road something which can't me said about a lot of bikes, i reckon its the boots giving the extra inch!
How does the Gs cope with some light offroading?
+Two Wheel Review Depending on the tyres, it isn't too bad but it's still a heavy bike so it requires more effort to do it. I've had very limited experience of it and tended to stick more to the roads. I think with the new RT, I'll be able to tootle off on trips either with a tent or nights in hotels and still have as much fun as with the GSA. What have you got planned for next year then?
+gadgetsandwheels Africa :)
Two Wheel Review Whoosh. That's a bit too far for me :-)
***** never too far, will see not sure for certain but its on the bucket list
Will 175 cm be enough for this cycle that i can reach ground with both foot,at least a little bit
+Dejan Kascelan yes you will be able to get one foot down fully or both feet on tip toes
+Two Wheel Review Thank you very much
Wanted this bike originally, couldn't find one anywhere near london for decent price, then went for the R125 got denied finance, then got a grom. Still love these things tho.
How do you change the rear?
No mikäs vika tuossa on?

Would love one of these bikes, better then my Yamaha ybr
Is ot a good motorcycle for 2 people???
No, dont buy it for a purpose like that. :)
Buy an MT or Duke if you're going to be two
@@Monnector But you can drive someone if needed
Best bike I’ve ever owned
Mate you should get a Delkevic exhaust on this bike, it sounds like a helicopter!!
im 181cm tall so is the bike okay for me?
+YT Ghosti
Perfect height, I'm 5 foot 8 and can 1 foot flat and two feet tip toe
Two Wheel Review okay glad to know :)
What year is this one I'm liking it a lot
+Boy Frog I'll pass 😂
Where did you buy your exhaust ?
thanks.
+Kristijan Lozar
I got mine from Ebay it was from an Italian Company took around 2 weeks to arrive and cost £300 or 390 euros
+Two Wheel Review

Kristijan Lozar

I am 5,6 so is it too tall for me?
There is a youtuber called "Fil" who had a wr 125 x for about 2 years. He's tall 1,73 cm and I think the wr fitted accurately for him.
Sorry for my bad english
@@rosky7396 i'm 172 cm and have this bike and its good size
Would ŷou recommend this bike too first time rider
+Jack Bell absolutely very reliable, good acceleration and even very fun to ride after having owned the bike for over a year!
+Two Wheel Review thank you so much this will be in the garage as soon as I can afford it do you know what price they are
They r 3000
Back here after 4 years damn😂
nice video
about fuel economy? how many L/100km ?
Depending on riding conditions ive squeezed 160 miles out of the wr which is around 95mpg
+Two Wheel Review that means that with full fill gas you can do 160 miles?
nika chaboshvili yes untill reserve
can you use this on the motorway in the uk?????
XyZ CwP of course you can depending on if you have the right license, judging as you want a 125 no you can't on a cbt
No u can't as it's top speed is 60mph and motorways r 70 it will be a scary ass ride coz u can't keep up with traffic
Yes, If you have the correct license, Anything other than a CBT is acceptable, A roads are more chilled compared to a M road, but I wouldn't advise it especially if your riding in high winds etc, even big lorries would be overtaking you etc.
Im 6.0 foot(181cm) tall is this good height for me?
Hi i have a wr125 i also recently did a review, and at 6 foot tall this bike will be perfect for you as im also 6ft
@@supermotomike3008 im also 15 years old. Do you think i grow out of this soon.
@@valtterimiettinen9647 nah its a very fun bike plenty quick enough and of messing around on getting from a-b evan when u get ur full liecience obvs will never be as quick as a bigger cc bike im 26 and still on my wr also i have sat on the lexmoto adrenaline which is another supermoto and i found that one is little bit lower than the wr i dont think u will have any probs buying a wr125 very reliable plus they keep there value due to being a very popular 125
@@supermotomike3008 what about yamaha dt 125 i have been thinking about that too because it is 2-stroke and has incredible amount of torque and power and it obviously should be unrestricted in the power department.
I thought that I wouldn't even climb on it as I'm 5ft7 as I seen plenty of people over 6ft only driving it in my city, thank you for the review also!
Good to know... I’m 5’9 and I was worried about the seat height. As long as I can flat foot one side, its good enough for me 👌😂
I don't think a lot of bikes exist that would be too tall for 5'9/6'0 lol
i'm looking at this bike or the yamaha mt-125. I really cant decide.
Me neither
+Mixture Aquatics i like it in the curves, and thats why i hate i choosed an Yamaha wr125x 2k15 white model. I should have choosen
+Lolly I think I've decided that I'm gonna get a ktm duke 125. there doing a great deal at the moment when I can get 0% finance and free insurance.
cool, make sure it got ABS or it will drop in price
i like both of them too but i think MT-125 will be better for me cause i need it in the city only.
Am I too tall for the bike? I'm 180 cm tall. (5¨9 feet)
Nope good size
and is 165cm too short?
@@batuns6703 yes
@@harjatalonen3467 all good bro hahahaha 3 years later and I'm taller and have a Honda CB125r
+Two Wheel Review I love this entry SM, but can u tell me about maintenance?
+MateoB
Oil and Filter service every 1800 miles
then a major service every 7500 miles which includes air filter, spark plugs and valve clearances
+Two Wheel Review So its easy for maintenance, ty for reply
But...when I buy a more realistic daily commuter with a transmission or engine built that way it would be that new Honda. But I'd hope to have a far buy then so I wouldn't need it for that or if I do then I'll buy it
As an Australian with a wr450f supermoto on my l's legally ,I did not know yamaha even produced this bike.
I bought my 2011 WR125x for 1400€ which is about 1200£. The bike has worked pretty much perfectly. So if there's anyone watching this video still and thinking what beginner bike to buy, this one is a great choice.
How you get ut for so cheap
It was driven like 59,000 KM.
I've just bought a Wr125X 2015 for £2,400 haggled like crazy with the bloke as at 17 anything over two grand is a hell of a lot of saving ha! Still the best and shiniest bike ever tho ...
17 also just bought a 2015 for £1400 what city you in?
Looking for my first job so i can get my a1 license looking at this one
i need this bike in my country Pakistan

+Sam Freeman yesir!
I'm 5,6 is this to tall for me?
i have the wr 125 r and i can ride it fine, being on toes with 170 cm or 5,7 if you prefer
+-WoT-Roll-Out- LOL,i am 161 cm (at least last time I checked).I think the R is taller than the X right ? Do you think I will be able to ride it ?(i'll probably become a bit taller since I am not 18 yet)
i think you should be fine, im not 18 yet aswell so i hope i will grow up a few cm. #shortpeopleproblems :D
-WoT-Roll-Out- You are not that short :D I am a bit thought.I really want to be able to ride this motorcycle at 18 :/
you will be able to, dont worry :) btw its amazing bike
$????
Yep
Dont get u a 4stroke 125
It's acceleration is the worst from all the 15HP supermotos no need to say it's quick

fluffy tony get one!
I wud if i had good credit history ! Never be able to save for one
one day :)
dude if this bikr was a 2stroke i would have bought it. but i bought a exc 125 2stroke with 42hp. 2 stroke is so much better than 4stroke
+NORAWY 〈3
For speed and power yes but for reliability not quite :)
You can't legally have 42hp on an A1 license so you would be riding a 2t constantly screaming instead.
eeem here in norway the exc 125 is leagaly with 6hp. why i would i ride it leagaly :P nobody does that
NORAWY 〈3 6hp legally? what the fuck.
In Sweden it's 15hp.
SWEDEN FTW
hahah in evry other 125 it is 15 but in exc and husaberg it is only leagally with 6 hp :P it is wierd but no ones drives them leaggaly in norway anyway
