If you're in search of a good dirt bike but aren't yet ready to master the bigger bike in this class, then a bike like the 2013 Yamaha YZ125 might be the one you've been looking for.
The smaller profile makes the 2013 Yamaha YZ125 suitable for all sorts of riders, even the ones with a shorter inseam. It's possible that very tall riders should consider it too small, but they can nevertheless try it in the dirt and see what it can do.

The 124cc liquid-cooled 2-stroke engine is powerful and manageable, and it will gladly push the YZ125 forward on mountain roads and wood paths, on the road an on the dirt track with the same brawn. The light aluminium frame makes the bike easier to handle and reduces fatigue, letting riders enjoy it even more.

And a no-compromise close-ratio 6-speed gearbox will aid you in tackling all sorts of obstacles in the high-rev range. The speed-sensitive fork and adjustable rear shock can offer the best grip in a multitude of situations, and the folding titanium foot pegs make sure your bike sustains minimal damage when dropped.

The 2013 Yamaha YZ125 is available from August 2012 for $6,290 (€4,925).
