Reviews of Yamaha SS 125

1. I had booked the fz-16 back in 2014, but changed my mind & decided on the SS125 as I needed something lighter that my father could ride as well, the showroom re-arranged the paperwork without any issues.
2. It has been a blissful experience riding this motorcycle. I practically learned riding on this bike. I have thrashed it as hard as possible for 7 years & 120000 kms; & it still revs buttery smoothly & there is never any vibration even at 100+ kmph
3. Looks aren't as edgy as today's 125ccs but it's quite decent & it was ahead of its time & still is.
4. Maintaining a yamaha has always been a bit on the expensive side, especially now that it is discontinued. But it doesn't require much maintenance unless you crash & break something. Just change the engine oil & tire etc at regular interval & the gladiator will last a lifetime
5. Pros- crazy fast for 125cc, oodles of torque, very nimble, large fuel tank, engine kill switch(not even the tvs raider has one)
Cons- poor fuel economy, weak headlamps, no trip meters
"the SS125 is a tremendously sporty motorcycle when you are in the mood but otherwise is a gentle creature. The engine is ultra-refined, ride quality is great and in pure no-performance-only-commuting mode, a more peaceful motorcycle will be hard to find."-overdrive
