Who is it for?

Commuting / city use
As a naked motorcycle, it suits agile street and back-road riding more than long touring comfort.
Highway / longer rides
Wind protection on long highway days depends on screens and rider preference.
Good for beginners?
Based on displacement/power and manageable size, the Yamaha MT-125 can be considered by new or returning riders — still take training and a test ride.
Seat height & rider fit
Seat height is about 810 mm (31.9 in) — mid-range, but personal fit still matters.
Fuel economy & range
Listed fuel use is about 2.1 L/100 km (~112 mpg US). With a ~10 L tank, theoretical range is around 476 km (real-world range varies).
Two-up riding
Two-up comfort depends on seat length, passenger pegs, and load capacity — check fit with a passenger before long trips.
