2023 YZ125 2 STROKE First Ride

Finally got a chance to ride the new and improved 2023 Yamaha YZ125 2 stroke and man was it awesome! I instantly fell in love with it. Nothing beats the sound of a 125 2 stroke ripping. This was actually my first time riding a 125 2 stroke on a motocross track and struggled a bit with the gearing and carry enough speed through corners with all the traffic on the track to clear all the jumps, especially those out of corners. Almost looped it on the last jump trying to get speed in the wrong gear out of the low, off camber corner. I'd really like to pick up a 125 of my own!

Use the clutch and keep that 125 in the meat of the power. You used about 10% of the available power😂

[@ShiftGearsMoto]

Get something with a dedicated GPU

Why are you riding it like it's a four stroke 450
