Against the TT-R110E and TT-R230

The TT-R125LE suits an older child or a smaller adult who has outgrown the 110 but is not ready for the 230's weight and seat. Its adjustable suspension is unusual at this price and helps a lighter rider set it up.

Yamaha TT-R125LE — specification reference

Yamaha’s TT-R125LE equipment list specifies a front disc and rear drum brake, plus an adjustable rear shock. A review describing a rear disc belongs to another configuration and should not guide inspection of this model.

Yamaha · Youth trail

The TT-R125LE is Yamaha's biggest youth trail bike, with a five-speed gearbox, adjustable suspension and a larger frame than the 110. One owner on Cycle Insider says it feels like a much bigger bike, and Yamaha asks $3,599 before destination.

What owners say

A reviewer on Cycle Insider says the rear disc, stronger engine and better suspension put it way ahead of the 230s and lighter trail bikes, and that it seems like a much bigger bike, which may be a drawback for some. The same review notes that a family who once bought a Chinese bike learned it is much better to buy a used bike from one of the big five Japanese makers.

That is owner opinion, and it is a single review.

Fit and what a bigger youth bike asks

A 31.7 in seat puts this bike closer to a small adult's size than a child's. The 198 lb wet weight is 39 lb more than the TT-R110E. That is the trade the Cycle Insider reviewer describes when calling it a much bigger bike that may be a drawback for some.

The adjustable compression and rebound on the shock let a lighter rider tune the ride, and the 11.6 in of ground clearance matches the TT-R230's. Before buying a used one, check the electric-start battery, the chain and sprockets and the condition of the rear disc brake the reviewer praises.

Ask the seller whether the bike has been ridden by an adult, since extra weight ages the shock and fork springs faster on a youth bike than on a full-size one.
