1999 Yamaha DT125R review from Portugal
"Excellent!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Original brakes were very bad in intense use, such as mountain roads.
The seat is very hard after a few hours riding.
Quite unstable, so I changed the front suspension; the wheels are now 17' with road tires -> supermotard.
General comments?
- Easy learning
- Cheap
- Many parts can be found on the market (in Portugal)
- A very reliable engine that can run a lot of km
- Really, really fun to ride
