2007-2009 ybr125 (EFI)
Advantages: Built for commuting with superlative fuel consuption. Disadvantages: annoying reflection at night on the instrument bezels from fuel guage light, road spray protection
I recently purchased this bike for £2,000 on the road. Included in the cost was free insurance supplied by Yamaha(UK) a years road fund , a tank of fuel and delivery by the dealer to my house. The alternative I did consider, the Honda cbf125, would have cost about £2,300 all in. Commuting really lets you get the best out of this bike. It's fast enough up to 50mph and will hold this speed along the flat without struggling. 4th and 5th gears are quite ... ...hills, a quick change into 4th will get things back on pace. I'm 5'10" tall and for me the sitting position is very upright providing a good view over the roof of the average car, and easily get both feet flat on the ground without problem. When stuck in heavy slow moving traffic there is always the option to paddle the bike along rather than be in and out of first gear all the time. The mirrors have quite short stems, so do take a lot of adjustment ...

Very good bike.
Advantages: Torque, comfortable, good looks. Disadvantages: Nothing.
...The bike rides well, Yamaha usually produce good, smooth suspension and this bike is no exception. Despite having a slightly stiff frame the bike does handle very well. Brakes are alright, nothing amazing, but that's to be expected on a stock 125 - they do the job! Lights are good, not blinding but I happily ride the bike at night. I feel that I should point out the lack of rev counter and kick start; this makes no difference to me at all but could ... ...parts are to get, as Yamaha are one of the big companies there parts are pretty cheap. Fixing most things on a 2stroke is relatively easy but the DT is very open which saves time and effort. Overall feelings on the bike are very good, easily has enough power to keep with cars on main roads, very comfortable and good ride, impressive economy and finally, in my opinion, the bike looks good! Much better than those tacky superbike impressions that everyone ...

♥A WHEELIE GOOD BIKE♥
Advantages: Can be ridden both on and off road Disadvantages: She kicks you in the shin
...Christmas morning. I had a Yamaha XT350 delivered as a Christmas present for my husband Pete. As he opened the front door I knew for certain that he had no idea what to expect. To his surprise parked on the road in front of our door was a lovely Yamaha XT350 almost completely decorated with balloons, set off with the final touch of a huge red ribbon wrapped around the handlebars. I could see from his glistening eyes that he was pretty choked up as ... ...though. The Yamaha XT350 is a Dual Purpose Bike with a four-stroke single engine. For those that have no knowledge of these terms I will give a brief explanation. A dual bike is specifically designed for both on and off road riding. On both tarmac and in fields/lanes and can climb over obstacles. A single engine is the most basic of the engines with only 1 spark plug .one cylinder and one piston. A single engine does not produce many revolutions ...

Perfect learner bike!
Advantages: Perfect learner bike! Disadvantages: Not very much power
I bought one of these bike at the age of 17, ready to lean on and go for my bike test. This bike without and doubt is one of the easiest 125cc motorbikes to ride with a low seat height and very comfortable rider position. The bike is not the most powerfull 125cc, but as a first bike power is your last need! This bike sailed me through my test and now i have a big bike! I think this bike is perfect for a lady or a person of smaller build. My own bike ...

YPVS, never looking back
Advantages: Amazing power, super light weight, stable, GREAT FUN! Disadvantages: fork oil seals and spark plugs need replacement often, cold legs
...recommend taking it to your Yamaha dealer every year just to check it over.
It only gives me around 120 miles to a full tank of fuel, thats around 11 litres. And it doesn't have a fuel gauge, although this is not a problem if you reset the trip counter at every refill, gives you an idea of how many miles you have left.
But the power advantages far outweigh the cons. Get a powervalve servo fitted. This allows the engine to produce power at its fullest ... ...you can pick one off ebay for a few hundred quid. The parts are easy to find and easy to replace, ebay, Yamaha dealer or a breakers yard will have what you want.
In all, the bike is a good fun ride, it just needs to be treated well. ...
