I ordered a brand new MT125 in matte grey today - watching your videos is making me even more impatient for it to be delivered!!!! Can't wait! Loving the videos :)
Just picked my one up today! :) got a great deal on it, only 250 miles, but I paid £3965 and it's got all the accessories (ak exhaust, handle guards etc.) Can't wait to ride it tomorrow!
+STARKEY75 Thanks mate, a lot more people are getting them now. At my local Yamaha dealer, there are always new sold signs going on them every time i go there!
I had a ride of my mates mt then he told me that he's selling and I said yes I will buy it and I love it so I use it to play around on and am not regretting it at all 🤗🤗🤗
nice man and as you no they are grate bikes and after almost selling mine six months ago i think im going to keep it for as long as i can il just use it as a second bike its so cheap to run its grate and mine is pretty much same shape as yours still looks good mine was a year old 1 march i did not make a vide as i had not long done the 6k review and kind sed it there and look forwerd to meeting you on the 19th for the awesome sauce meet :)
+Mazerbigone I wish i could keep her along side my mt07 but just haven't got the space. Maybe down the line, i will consider getting one again :D Milage reviews on your bike would make more sense anyway as you do a good few miles than me, just getting to 4250! Looking forward to meeting you as well mate, been coming up to a year subbed to each other and still not met! :P
+BigBenMotoVlogs ya man it's a shame but you are getting a bigger better bike and I almost done 7k now on mine and I like to do the miles review just because it lets people no how good the bike holds up because like you mine is out in all wether and ya we have been subs almost a year that's gone fast to 👍
Very good video. I'm saving up for this bike as I have my CBT on Saturday. Was going to go for a CBR 2007 for my first but then seen this.. at the min I've seen them for 2500 now on private selling sites.. well worth the extra 1k! Can I ask what is the insurance and tax like in the first year on the road.. I'm 25. Cheers Tim
Timmyturnridge91 Living The mt is definitely the better bike. My insurance was £14 per month or £168 per year so really cheap with 2 years no claims so may be a touch more if your a new rider and £17 per year tax 👍
Good choice! Yeah just filled it in with a tyre pen, simple and cheap but goes well with the look. This exhaust is a cheap universal one from china, only £40 but you need to cut the stock muffler off. If you want to get a full exhaust system, look on ebay for black widow, currently the cheapest system you can get with an amazing sound! Thank you
I’m nearly 40 - been driving car since 17 - but have always wanted a bike decided to stop making excuses plan to complete CBT then aim for the mt 125 - you don’t think I’m to old to be learning how to ride motor bike
Just swapped my 650 kawaski for one of these . Due in two days, You don't need a big bike unless you plan riding very long distances.n They big ones use loads of juice and you are always filling up, unlioke the 125 Duke I had pre test. Back to 125s for me ,more fun ,much cheaper.
Exactly what I think. Everyone tells me I'll want to switch in future. But for me I think it will be enough. Very economical and has more than enough power for city riding.
Thank you! Short steep hills are fine as it has plenty of torque in lower rpm but on long steep hills the power dips and dips, so you have to keep shifting down gears
What about service intervals? What miles and how much do they cost? I bought a cb125f and found that I needed really frequent service intervals at a cost of about £100 a pop.
i dont know if i should get this or a KTM duke 125. i've been on my zontes firefly 125i for about 2 months and there quite a few issues with the gearbox. cant wait to get a more reliable bike.
Hi, I have an MT125 myself and I'm getting pretty bored of the sound from the stock exhaust so I checked out your Akrapovic Universal Exhaust however you said your exhaust cost £50 yet I can only find them for £350? Did you do a video on this exhaust?
Firo Menace Just search for "Universal exhaust" on eBay and plenty should come up with the same design, I was just lucky that the seller included an akrapovic sticker with mine! 😃 Yes I did do a video on the exhaust, used it for a while as well
+Steveo Coombs Never had a problem, always had it on the front fender on all my bikes. Originally when i bought the bike, jts put it on the side like yours but couldn't get it in the gate so put it on top instead :P
How much is the monthly cost for a yamaha mt 125? Insurance, gas etc I'm 24 soon, 5,7 and haven't had a mc before. I'm looking for one to commute with in the city.
Sorry for the late reply. Insurance will depend on where you are living and how long you have been riding. I think my insurance was roughly £16 a month and fuel was roughly £15 for a full tank, would last 150-180 miles
@@BigBenMotoVlogsUK live in Sweden and am currently 23 (24 in september) So I'll be around 24 to 25 when I get it. I currently only have am 50cc license for a few months but I assumed all I needed for cheaper insurance was to become 25? Thanks for reply!
@@C0d0ps Not sure how it works in Sweden, in the UK you have to be 17 and over to ride a 125cc with a CBT. Age ranges work over here too, normally the older you are the cheaper your insurances gets. Good luck 👍
Hey buddy, just put my deposit down for a MT-125 2015 model in the same colour. Are there any parts of the 2015 model I should look out for as in wear and tear?
If you press the brake to hard with abs, it will release and reapply the brake to stop the skid, its a weird feeling :P With a non-abs, the rear wheel can lock up easy if you press hard. You could probably lock it up with difficulty
+TinMan Stock at the moment until i buy a better one. Either i want to get a SC projects or if i keep the scorpion i have now, i only have to buy the fittings for the mt07.
+BigBenMotoVlogs good stuff 👍😊 I might just keep the stock one for now as I haven't got much of a clue with exhaust systems on what's good or not Will have to do more window shopping I think 😜
+TinMan Stock sounds decent anyway for now :P I don't like the look of the ones that goes up the side of the bike on the mt07, rather it keep it similar to the stock look. Yeah there are so many
+BigBenMotoVlogs the stock one dose look nice just a shame it's not that loud I've seen some people drilling holes in them but I'm not sure how that would affect the bike probably not to much but it would probably ruin any warranty claim if i need to make one
+TinMan I wouldn't mess with the stock exhaust to be honest, i still have my one, its been bubble wrapped in the cupboard for coming up to a year now. Will put it back on the bike before i hand it over.
hi mate, Is this the Matt grey bike? I want to get a matt grey and change the tyres to the redish colour you have or the blue color.. .Did they come like that?
+Luke Corbin Hey dude! Yes this is the matt grey version and no the tyres didn't come like that, bought some rim tape from eBay, there are many different colours to pick from.
I have found a MT 125 for 2.196 pound, and it has 1.900KM Prob a good deal, but unfortunatly i dont got the money for it still need 351 pound for it ;/
I cant find anything thats wrong with the bike in the discription, but it does say its in perfect conditions State of vehicle: Perfect condition Hopefully i have the money on time before someone else buys it
Mivv gp or mivv suono are two good loud exhausts, but if you want to take it to the next level check out the danmoto gp carbon or danmoto xg1 holy shit they are loud
I've seen multiple videos saying that the bike is quite tall and that for anyone that is short, will need to lower the bike. Do you know roughly how tall a person should be for this bike as a random guess?
+tomh0124 It is tall, the seat is higher than the mt07! You can get a lowering kit from eBay if needed. I'm 5'10, i can nearly flat foot both feet but not comfortable so i'm on the front of my foot instead. I would say around 6'0 and they should be fine
Thanks very much. I guess i'll need to buy a lowering kit then as i'm 5ft8/9 so. Are the lowering kits easy to use and if so, do they change any specs of the bike? Do they make the bike any worse?
+tomh0124 You should be ok but it would be easier with the kit. Looking on ebay, it a 30min job and you only need basic tools, sounds pretty simple. It lowers the ride height from 810mm to 780mm. It shouldn't change the way the bike preforms at all, its a recommend modification and has great reviews.
+tomh0124 It also says on there "A lowering kit also increases high speed stability and improves rear wheel traction." Sounds like it would improve the bike! Link: www.lustracing.co.uk/suspension/yamaha-mt125-lowering-kits.html
Thanks very much for this information! Can't wait to get out on the roads learning and having a good time on a MT 125. The bike is awesome! Thanks a lot dude, keep up the good work on the videos!

+STARKEY75 Thanks mate, a lot more people are getting them now. At my local Yamaha dealer, there are always new sold signs going on them every time i go there!
Hey buddy. Do you think it made any changes to the power of the bike when you had the new exhaust? And also the comfort in long journeys. Is it good?
