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 QM 125-2D STEALTH.

Pass rate by registration year

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

Best year to buy used: 2010 (67.6% pass). Weakest: 2011 (51.0%).
