The naked sport 150 cc segment is pretty much interested. So
every manufacturer has a mainstay in that segment. Suzuki lowered the GSX-S125,
Yamaha has MT-10 as its newest product. You can buy MT-10 at affordable prices
only on Wheels Motorcycles. For Now, Suzuki GSX- S125 the most
expensive variant has adopted a system without key children. While MT-10 is
armed with an aggressive design and several modern features. Which one is
better?
Price
Speaking of prices, clearly the Yamaha MT-10 is the second
choice. Suzuki GSX-S125 keyless is priced at £3,995. The price of the Yamaha
MT-10 is £7,995 million. The price difference is around £4,000. The difference
is not a small number. The Yamaha MT-10 currently also holds the most expensive
naked sport 150 cc in a similar segment of Japanese manufacturers.
Dimension
In size, the two are not much different. The GSX-S125 has a
size of 2,020 x 745 x 1,040 mm (LxWxH) and a wheelbase of 1,300 mm. While the
dimensions of MT-10 are 1,965 X 800 X 1,065 mm and the wheelbase length is
1,335 mm. From the wheelbase, the MT-10 is more stable when told to run fast.
Design
Both offer a naked style of sport street. But the design of
the MT-10 looks more attractive. Thanks to the three LED lights arranged, the
face of the MT-10 is like a robot from the Transformers movie. Very futuristic
like a concept motorbike. Again, that’s an interesting and not boring point
like on other motorbikes. There is a supermoto feel, wide handlebar and a
rather upright driving posture. Both are less enjoyable to use because the tail
is short, passenger seating is more limited.
Suzuki only provides limited colors for the GSX- S125with a
keyless ignition system. Black with a touch of red sweetener, including rims
colored red. MT-10 is a little more diverse by offering three basic colors.
Gray wears orange rim, fully black and blue with bright yellow rim. In
addition, in the choice of matte colors, the rim is also covered in bright
contrasting colors.
Yamaha provides the MT-10 with a gold-plated upside down
front suspension. In addition to improving performance, aesthetics also
strengthened thanks to the suspension. About the proportion of design, although
both wear 17-inch rims, the MT-10 looks more muscular thanks to the larger
black rubber bandage. Among the other 150 cc naked bikes, only the MT-10 has
used the front suspension upside down. The average competitor still uses
standard telescopes. The upside down suspension is considered to have a better
performance than ordinary telescopic.
Performance
When compared, the performance of both is almost similar.
The GSX-S125 holds a 1-cylinder 147.3 cc liquid cooled engine that blows out 19
PS of power at 10,500 rpm and 14 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm. Medium MT-10 engine,
1-cylinder 155 cc liquid cooled VVA, peak power 19.3 PS at 10,000 rpm and
maximum torque of 14.7 Nm at 8,500 rpm. Both transmissions are 6-speed.
Although the MT-10 engine is slightly larger, the performance difference is not
significant.
Most favored by MT-10, assist & slipper clutch, ease the
work of the clutch so that the transfer is smoother and faster. The use of
upside down front suspension does not mean the best performance of MT-10. It’s
just that in performance, the upside down suspension does tend to be better
than standard telescopic. Besides comfort, the suspension supports the full
movement of the dynamics of the MT-10. Both the GSX- S125and MT-10 use two disc
brakes. The design of the petal and wide GSX- S125disc brakes.
Feature
GSX- S125has good stock features. Mention digital meter
panels, LED headlights and the most significant keyless ignition system.
Keyless features have not been owned by competitors in the segment. While the
MT-10 is equipped with front and rear LED lights, digital meter panels and
front suspension upside down. The MT-10 digital meter panel presents a number
speedometer with a combination of easy-to-read graphical tachometers. There is
also an appropriate gear shift indicator light.
Conclusion
Looking at the price and comparison of features and performance, the MT-10 must be willing to lose to the GSX- S125. Not feel the price difference of £7,995 million from the features offered. Most significantly, the front suspension is upside down, the rest is not too fancy. While the GSX- S125that has used the keyless system also has other performance and completeness, but the price is much cheaper. So, putting aside the design, the Suzuki GSX- S125Keyless Ignition System is more feasible and wise to choose from the Yamaha MT-10.
