With the right rider and favourable terrain there ’ s no doubt that Yamaha ’ s new 125X could win outright . And so , who is that “ right ” rider ? Well , obviously a highly skilled and fit rider of smaller stature will be most likely to get the best results . However , this machine is probably going to be most appealing to younger up and comers and women because of its light weight and slightly smaller size . Also , the engine is a fantastic motor to learn the ropes of throttle and clutch control on . Those skills will be useful for a lifetime of riding . I still love power and capacity , but the new 125X is impressive , expect to be overtaken by one in upcoming events .
