Thanks for the intro bro. Great review
Terribly sad. I hate it when a fellow biker passes.
Definitely is, especially with someone like Alan, who was a great guy. I put the dedication there to, first off, pay my respects to such a good guy, but to also encourage as many people as I could to go to his last ride. I felt incredibly guilty that I couldn't go to it
@@ItsBeenDanBefore Don't beat yourself up man
Knew he was truly one of my I'm people's when he said, and I quote; "ugh! Fuck off wind."
Now, this truly is, and I cannot stress this enough, epic
Great vid verry inspiring
Thanks for the honest review. I have a much cheaper bike (cbf125) and always thought that by paying £4K you’d get the comfy seat and top of the range everything. It’s painful to see that companies still try to milk customers despite such a massive outlay
Unfortunately, this always happens. Even with companies who are generally good (like Triumph, Ducati), they shortsell on some things to get you back into the dealership asking for a catalogue. I guess it's why there's so much aftermarket stuff, even on Amazon, no one wants to pay 200 quid from Yamaha for comfort seats
Rip to Alan and remember he alive just in really really deep sleep for a while I lost my friend I know it's hard it really is..😞
That L plate being used as a windshield lol
Hey, I need an L plate, that's what the dealership put on
I’m picking up my brand new Yamaha mt125 next Saturday. I’m getting ice fluo can’t wait.
Ayyy, that's the new colourway, isn't it? It looks fucken sick, dude. Once you've gotten used to it, start to make it your own, add some mods and accessories
Blunt Kommunity is that the 2019 model?
don't be swearing lads
I’m getting one soon can’t wait
Trust me, dude, you will love it to bits. Just be careful when getting used to it because the torque used to catch me offguard sometimes
Thanks it’s good to get someone’s opinion
Got mine back in October 2018, 2016 model, found my brakes to be very good... Its my first bike though so can't compare it to much else... Loving riding it though, tyres are stock pilot street, I've added bar end mirrors, phone clamp, tail tidy, mesh intakes, custom taylor rim tape, heated grips are next...
Bar end mirrors are almost always on the list of mods I see for this bike, the stock mirrors just don't do it justice. With the brakes, I agree, at the start, they were gorgeously strong and consistant. I think it's just me forgetting to do a full deep clean and maintenance of the brakes as often as I should
And as a review I'd say you could mix in some panning shots off the bike, a bit of music and editing mixed in with on the bike pov. Your camera quality seems really good and audio sounded really good too, I'd like to know what setup you have re camera and mic...
My camera is simply a GoPro Hero 4 Silver, running at 1080p 50FPS, microphone is a Purple Panda mic, you can get it for about 20 quid on Amazon. I definitely agree with you on the comments about the editing. This review was in planning for about 2 weeks and I wanted to do more shots of it with my DSLR, but I ran out of time for when I wanted it out. Plus, my editing software is a bit shite, so when I made the review, I didn't know exactly what I was doing, but I do believe I have improved. Thank you for the criticism will be taking all of that on board
I can hear that sort of ticking/vibrating on your bike too. I got my Mt-125 about a month ago and that noise is driving me crazy.
I don't think I've heard any ticking/vibration, at least not in the video. Could just be the fact that it's a single cylinder engine. Would you mind giving me a timestamp of when it's most noticeable in the vid?
Have ridden one of these stock and they accelerate really slowly and are really lazy in speed but really reliable. Im getting 2-stroke 125cc which is a lot more powerfull and faster. Wouldn't recommend mt125 for city riding but for long distances yes. If you ride short to medium distances i would recommend 2-stroke for sure
That's the problem with 4 strokes, in general. 2 strokes will almost always beat them in power. If you could go for any 125, I'd always recommend a 2 stroke, either a supermoto or RS125
@@ItsBeenDanBefore im getting a husqvarna 125sm with 144cc cylinder and full exhaust system and bigger carburetor. It makes about 35-40 hp and you can't get 20hp out of 4-stroke 125cc in almost any way.
@@valtterimiettinen9647 how is a 2 stroke better for riding in city’s 😂
@@motormax6048 MORE POWA BABY
@@valtterimiettinen9647 more rebuilds and money on services babyyyyy 😂
All the power I'd ever need
Why are you worried about your ABS locking your front wheel up? That’s the whole point of ABS, to cut out a potential lock up under harsh breaking
Because I believe (to this day with about 10x better braking technique) that the ABS on my MT (I can't say for any other MT125, whether that be year or specific bike in the same year) is ineffective. It is entirely possible that my bike in particular has a specific ABS fault (which I doubt but is possible), but as I haven't tried another MT, I can't say. The ABS on my MT fully allows the front to lock (which is what the ABS is supposed to prevent) for a longer period than I would expect. However, this was nearly a year ago and I have improved my braking technique and have never felt like the ABS should cut in. If you want a 125 with amazing ABS, look at the RC125 and it's Bosch system, I fully believe that should be the minimum for all 125s
How have you managed 85? mine tops out at 75 MAX on a still day! 13 stone btw, thanks
Could be any number of reasons, like how I had a pretty decent downhill to go on, or that I clutchless shift so I don't lose time or momentum from pulling in the clutch, ETC
Mine tops out at about 82 mph, nice vid
Have you done any modifications to it?
:/ just an exhaust, took the rear pillion pegs off saved like what, 1kg 😂 and I have a tail tidy :)
Toby Rider that’s what I’ve done aswell, I’ve also added heated grips and bar end mirrors. I’ve topped mine out at 79mph.
:/ I’d like to get bar end mirrors any you’d recommend? My heated grips have a problem where if I don’t switch them to the middle setting they drain my battery?
Toby Rider I bought these mirrors off amazon
Ryde Diamond 22mm Motorcycle Bar End Mirrors - Black & Silver www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B011NZSM6Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3AKWCb4K7DKNZ
Also my heated grips were installed by my dealer because I didn’t want to mess it up.
What mirrors are these? I have R&G bar ends and need some compatible but need the specific ones :D
Both of the sets of bar end mirrors I have are just cheap ones from Amazon, but I wouldn't really recommend either of them. If you wanna get bar end mirrors, buy the Puig, Rizoma or CRG ones. For those ones in this video, we had to be fucky with putting them on because there's no way to easily fit them, so we had to make spacers from an R1 spindle (16mm for the left side, 18mm for the right side). But it's just not worth the effort, go for the proper ones. I'm even planning on just entirely getting rid of the mirrors
Can you get it at 19 with CBT?
With a CBT, you can get anything 125cc and below at any age
@@ItsBeenDanBefore thank you
Does it actually sound that bad or is it the mic not picking it up well?
Probably the mic not picking it up right. With how my mic is currently set up, it's taped around the boom mic for my intercom, so my voice is alright but anything else is a bit shite. New helmet soon, though, so therefore there will be a better setup
