This remarkable motorcycle has been developed using the same advanced technology that makes our larger capacity R-series models some of the most respected bikes on the street and track.

Its radical bodywork is a direct spin off from our World Championship winning R6. And with features like upside down front forks and an aluminium swinging arm – as well as a short-stroke liquid-cooled engine and optional ABS – the latest YZF-R125 is built to thrill.

2016 Yamaha YZF-R125 www.Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

Liquid-cooled 4-stroke single cylinder engine

Featuring a free-revving short-stroke configuration, the liquid-cooled 125cc 4-stroke engine drives though a slick-shifting 6-speed gearbox to give ultra-responsive acceleration. Equipped with a highly efficient fuel injection system, the latest generation YZF-R125 delivers thrilling performance with outstanding fuel economy.

Lightweight aluminium chassis components

R-Series DNA is evident in the light and immensely strong aluminium swinging arm which ensures precision handling and confident roadholding. A redesigned rear linkage gives even greater riding comfort, and with the brake pedal, shift lever and passenger footrests all made from aluminium, the YZF-R125 has a leading specification.

Multi function LCD instrumentation

The YZF-R125 is equipped with one of the most sophisticated LCD instrument panels seen on a 125cc bike. Its comprehensive backlit display includes a digital speedometer with a bar type tachometer, and the advanced design also includes data on fuel level and fuel consumption, as well as distance and range trip meters.

R6-inspired bodywork

With its aggressive twin headlight fairing and central air intake, there’s no mistaking the R-series heritage in the latest YZF-R125. The new generation R6-inspired front cowl gives this class-leading 125cc supersport a genuine big-bike look and feel, and the slippery aerodynamic bodywork is ready to slice through the air for maximum riding excitement.

High-rigidity upside down forks

Just like the legendary R1 and WSS-winning R6, the YZF-R125 is now equipped with upside down front forks which offer high levels of rigidity for precise and responsive handling characteristics. To emphasize the R-series racing heritage the front fender features a carbon-look finish, giving the latest YZF-R125 a real big-bike character.

Lightweight race-bred wheels

Newly-designed lightweight wheels utilize a race-bred multi-spoke design featuring thin Y-shaped spokes that contribute to a low unsprung weight for responsive suspension action and precise handling. And with a 100/80-17 front tyre and wide section 130/70-17 rear tyre, this 125cc superport bike is built to slice though the bends.

High specification brakes with optional ABS

Available with optional ABS, the YZF-R125’s advanced new braking system is a spin off from our larger-capacity R-series models. Featuring a floating 297mm diameter disc, the high specification radially mounted caliper is designed to deliver strong and effective braking performance and outstanding initial response.
