neither, Honda Varadero 125cc is what you want

Tbh, you're assuming a lot if you think people will know immediately what a ybr or xt is. Especially the Yamaha xt.

A bit more details to the OP wouldn't hurt

I had a YBR, it was a great runabout. Drove into Dublin from Meath every day for a couple of months. The electrics failed on me once but that's just because the electrical loom wasn't securely fastened, once fixed I never had problems.

A varadero will cost more money than the YBR. IIRC they were going cheap enough in Leo O'Reillys on Dorset st.

I'd say the ybr is more for your money as its much cheaper than the XT and Varadero. The ybr would be nippier than the varadero also.
