How rivals compare

same type, similar capacity, high test volume

On first-time pass rate the PLANET 125 beats 0 of its 4 closest rivals (YAMAHA YBR 125, HONDA CG125, HONDA CBF125).

YAMAHA YBR 125 71.0% pass · 125k tests HONDA CG125 72.2% pass · 89.3k tests HONDA CBF125 73.3% pass · 84.4k tests GILERA RUNNER 70.8% pass · 69.9k tests

Rivals share this bike's type and sit within ±30% of its engine capacity, ≥ 5,000 tests. Card colour = better/worse first-time pass rate than the PLANET 125.

Pass rate by registration year

how each model-year cohort fares · registration year from first use date

Best year to buy used: 2001 (61.5% pass). Weakest: 2000 (55.0%).
