Yamaha YBR125 Overview
For learners and amateurs, this is one of the best budget bikes to buy. The Yamaha YBR 125 offers value for money and is an easy going and practical bike to ride. In terms of city riding it offers enough pep to zip through heavy traffic with decent handling.
This bike comes with a four-stroke air cooled engine which is perky with ample power to get you along the city or on motorways at a swift pace. While the bike offers a top speed of about 70mph, it is most comfortable when doing around 55mph.
The bike is rather light weight, offers good handling, and is easy to corner. The suspensions are basic but work efficiently with excellent braking. The sound is good as well and it comes equipped with an electric and kick start.
This is a budget bike and we have to admit, you can tell. Areas like the gearbox and wiring could be improved. Despite these minor hitches the bike does feel reliable for a low priced model.
It comes with the basics like a luggage rack, analogue clocks, a grabrail and a fuel gauge. While the seating is comfortable, the mirrors are not as effective. Overall a great bike for beginners to hone their riding skills.

Comfort | | It's fine for what it does but I wouldn't want to do more than 100 miles! | | Ride Quality | | Small and bouncy, I've had the front forks preloaded by 30mm greatly improving ride and handling |
| Build Quality & Reliability | | Built to a budget but a bulletproof engine and clutch. Electrics aren't that great. |
| Engine Rating | | Weak but reliable! |
| Brake Rating | | They both work, front is fine for the weight of the bike |
| Running Cost | | The power is poor and electrics have caused problems. Also could do with wider tyres. |
| Overall | | |
| Pros Comments | It is a workhorse to learn on, it is cheap and unlikely to break mechanically speaking. It's a great learner, but will probably be grown out of very quickly! |
| Cons Comments | The power is poor and electrics have caused problems. Also could do with wider tyres. |
