1999 Yamaha DT125R from Portugal

Summary:

Excellent!

Faults:

Original brakes were very bad in intense use, such as mountain roads.

The seat is very hard after a few hours riding.

Quite unstable, so I changed the front suspension; the wheels are now 17' with road tires -> supermotard.

General Comments:

- Easy learning

- Cheap

- Many parts can be found on the market (in Portugal)

- A very reliable engine that can run a lot of km

- Really, really fun to ride

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

1996 Yamaha DT125R from United Kingdom

Summary:

Good buy, good fun, get one

Faults:

Nothing really, just wear and tear on friction parts ie. pads, clutch etc.

General Comments:

The bike in unrestricted form is very quick for a 125. Mine has a dep pipe and YPVS. Off the lights it is a rocket. If you get the clutch and revs correct, you will struggle to keep the front down.

Excellent around town due to the high position.
