LapTiME WARS at APeX MX 96 RM125 vs 19 YZ125

A go pro lap comparison of my 96 RM125 against my 19 YZ125 . The RM125 lap wasn’t clean, I got caught up a little and also the tip of the rear brake had broken off so I didn’t have full rear brake. Interesting comparison. YZ125 sounds so clean :-)

Great content! I feel me some good 125 vibes. I wonder how my ‘86 CR125 would compare? LOL. Peace to all.

Yamaha seems to stay on the pipe smoother and longer..still pretty close lap times.

I'll be woopin that ass on my 06 RM 250 soon, hare scramble season!

[@surging3549]

Nice little comparison, the YZ looked faster than 2 seconds to be fair to the RM! Closer than I thought it would be after watching.

[@nevsta272]

Yup I was quite surprised also. I think them old bikes can hold their own 😁

[@morley3810]

So, in other words, if you have a clean old 125, there's really no good reason to upgrade to a new one lol. Thanks for the content, and thanks for letting us listen to your wring 'em out!

@@reedgalbraith6508 ok but to spend 5000-6000 more for the average rider who can actually still improve on the 2 second differential is not worth it👍
