If you are not planning to go off road then the dual purpose tyres just dont perform as good on the road as normal ones. The other thing to consider is that the Varadero is v twin engine as opposed to the Yamaha's single and will be smoother with a bit more grunt. Mainly though its down to personal preference and budget. If you can afford the Varadero then thats then one I would go for, but its been a long time since I rode any 125 bike
