Hey all, Just wanted to know what you all think about the bikes below:

YAMAHA YZF R 125


HONDA CBR 125r


The yamaha looks 100 times better in my opinion and cost around £3200

the Honda on the other hand is known for its reliability... and thats all that appeals to me and costs £2700

what do you guys think? they sound very similar and have top speeds of around 70-80 mph. i'm on 50%/50% at the moment.

I'd have the Yam, 100%.

There wont be much between them, unless you're on the track and one may be better than the other, so it comes down to price, reliability and image.

The Yamaha's image makes the extra few quid well worth it and I can't think there is much between them on reliability, you will probably sell it long before it stats going wrong.

The Yamaha has the racing look to it IMHO

Honda looks a bit of a work bike kind of thing. Less fun.
