Yamaha AG125 vs AG200: Which Farm Bike Is Right for You?
Updated: Oct 28
Choosing between the Yamaha AG125 and AG200 comes down to the type of farm work you do, the terrain you cover and how much power and carrying ability you need. Both are purpose-built agricultural motorcycles, but they suit slightly different jobs.
Quick comparison
The AG125 is the lighter and more affordable option. Its 124cc air-cooled four-stroke engine, 800mm seat height and 113kg wet weight make it easy to manage for daily stock checks, fencing runs and lighter farm duties.
The AG200 steps up to a 196cc engine, an 830mm seat height and 128kg wet weight. It offers more power for hill country, longer distances and heavier everyday use, while retaining the simple, durable design farmers expect from Yamaha’s AG range.
Yamaha AG125: light, manageable and practical
The Yamaha AG125 is a strong choice for riders who value low weight, easy handling and straightforward operation. Its electric start with kick-start backup, five-speed transmission, sealed drum brakes and fully enclosed chain case are all designed around dependable farm use.
