This Is How You Ride A 125cc Two-Stroke + Video
It’s too bad two-stroke motorcycles are quickly declining. The lightweight and hard-hitting machines are a blast to ride. They’re all but gone from the street scene (thanks emission laws), but thankfully you can still find some on the dirt side. Embodying the phrase “ride it like you stole it,” watch Kemea Racing rider Cyril Genot properly flog his Yamaha YZ125 as he shows us the fast way around Lierop, in the Netherlands.
If you’re a fan of two-strokes, especially in the dirt, I don’t need to say much more. Turn your speakers up and enjoy this master class of two-stroke mud-slinging.
Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
