Ive owned a YBR and currently ride a Varadero and recommend both highly.
Stay away from carb model YBR's mine was a nightmare this winter but in the summer it was fine, and the varadero runs beautifully

Varadero if your mrs isnt too short.

They tend to hole their price too as its a "proper" bike size and better all round bike than most other 125 out there.

MYCs is a bit cold blooded but fine when warmed up a bit, 30 seconds on choke is fine, absolutely brilliant on fuel getting 100mpg or so.

The charging system is crap though, small bike electrics are horrible. Might be worth the extra for the varadero if it has a proper 3ph alternator!!
