I'm going to get a 125 this spring, and i'm still quite not sure what bike to choose. I've considered;
- Ktm duke 125
- Yamaha WR125 X
- Yamaha YZF R-125 (this will all be 2013 models... Just mentioning as if it had any matter)
Now, for some reason i'm holding on to the yzf, but i've heard that R-bikes/sport bikes are quite uncomfy to ride(for your back and such). Is this true? Is it a major issue?

Go find a local motorcycle dealer who will allow you to sit on his showroom bikes. Try each bike you want to ride for at least 30 minutes. If you can still walk when you get off, it may be the bike for you.

Not so much for your back. Its more of a problem for you neck and arms. A good riding position removes most of this problem.
