First time riding in the rain (only been riding 3 weeks) 2017 Yamaha YZF R125 wasn't too bad, just went a little slower :) #yamaha #motorcycle #yzfamily
Very nice! Fortnine has some very good tips to ride in the rain, I defenetly recommend. Dont 'be afraid to ride in the rain, doing it will improve your skills faster and make you a better rider. Greetings from Brazil!
im getting my 125 licence in march and im planning on buying a yzf r125, do you recommend older models? i could buy the 2022 but i will definitely drop it a few times and i dont even want to scrape it if its from a saloon
yo bro, i only recently got into riding (about 4 months ago) so i don't know to much. However i have already had a small crash and scrapped the side of mine which sucks but i bought it knowing i was going to drop it. so personally for your first bike i wouldn't buy it brand new as you should be okay with dropping it. i bought mine knowing i would drop it whilst learning so i bought a 2017. For your second bike though i would spend more and maybe even buy brand new.hope this helps :)
@@george.scarlett thing is, with these prices, a used 2016 with its papers expiring next year costs 1.3 mill, a brand new 2022 costs 2mill flat, with warranty
What technique do you use for downshifts? I see you blip the throttle while doing that and its pretty smooth. A little help for me?? I have a GSXR 150 which i got this year so im a bit new
its called rev matching mate. when you shift down just blip the throttle to match the revs to a lower gear :) same as shifting up but instead of shutting the throttle off just blip it.
@@DontEatTacoBell yeah pretty much just as you would normally shift but instead of shutting the throttle, open it for a slit second. so clutch in, blip throttle while down shifting, release clutch. basically what you said. just practice and you will get a feel for it. it prob the best way to understand
Soon going to get my MC A2 driving license. I know a guy who has almost the exact motorcycle as the one you are driving for 42k Swedish KR. Got any tips on what i should get or do when i first buy it?
@@george.scarlett Good luck to you... I've had my car licence since 1992 .. Always been able to ride a motorcycle but never ever went for my test.. I'm so wanting to do it but just can't get round to doing it at the moment. It's one of those things I wish I done years ago.
@@george.scarlett idk i actually like it with music and its very relaxing , i put this video when studying for my exam , actually spent more time watching than studying haha
@@george.scarlett had the test today ,turns out everyone failed...but i think i didnt failed as hard as others, anyways studying with ur videos is really comforting :)

@@george.scarlett so just clutch, downshift and immediately release clutch while blipping the throttle?

I don't know to much about bikes mate as just got into them this year. but get something cheap for first bike as you will probably drop it. :)
Wish the UK could do away with those stupid 1960s big L plates that completely ruin any 125

Why are you reving it befor you change gear complete novice
im down shifting mate, you rev it to match the revs on the lower gear. look up rev matching :) just makes shifting down a gear smoother.
