Yamaha YZF-R125 is one of the new sportbikes from the Japanese company Yamaha, released in 2008. Speed, power, reliability, style - all this is in this motorcycle, which is why its popularity is so great. This bike is very reminiscent of the R1 and R6 models. However, there is something about it that was not given to these models, something that provided a real explosion in the motorcycle world as soon as the Yamaha YZ-125 was released for sale. And this same "something" made this model so popular that it has not been forgotten even now, after so many years. There are a lot of her fans to this day, and among them there are more and more young people, although, of course, you can also meet mature admirers.
The specifications of the YZF-R125 are indeed remarkable. So, the in-line four-stroke injection engine is equipped with one cylinder and four valves, its volume is 125 cubic centimeters, its power is 15 (!) horsepower, and the maximum torque is 12.24 Nm (data on power and torque are reliable at speeds exceeding 8 thousand).
Motor is liquid cooled.
Yamaha YZF-R125 motorcycle has 6 gears and can accelerate up to 120kilometers per hour, which is quite good for a unit with such an engine.
The front suspension is a telescopic fork with 13 centimeters of travel, while the rear suspension is a monoshock with slightly less travel of 12.5 centimeters.
The volume of the fuel tank is 13.8 liters.
With a relatively small weight (126 kilograms), the Yamaha YZF-R125 bike has quite impressive dimensions - two meters in length, almost a meter in height and more than half a meter in width. This weight-to-size ratio is achieved thanks to lightweight aluminum wheels and a relatively small frame.
In addition, this bike is equipped with an A/D panel for quick and easy evaluation of the bike's one-time performance, and a sports muffler for better looks and better combustion.
Externally, the Yamaha YZF-R125 motorcycle looks more than attractive. It has a streamlined shape, but this does not detract from its aggressiveness. Sharp lines, shiny inserts, original shape, aluminum wheels and a rear swingarm - all this gives its appearance style, sportiness and anger. Narrow, "fox" headlights and an unusual front fairing give originality to the design. As already mentioned, the design of this model is close to the design of two other motorcycles from the same manufacturer - the R1 and R6 models.
One of the main advantages of the Yamaha YZF-R125 bike is its handling and comfort. Steering wheel featuresallow you to almost not feel the bumps in the road, and also provide easy entry into turns. In a word, despite all its aggressiveness, the motorcycle behaves excellently on the road. Thanks to this, it can be recommended even to beginners - it is good to learn all the subtleties of riding on this bike.
However, the Yamaha YZF-R125 also has its downsides. So, it is impossible to adjust the front brake and clutch lever on it, and suspension adjustment is also not provided. In the design, however, the impression is spoiled by passenger steps, identical to those installed on the models of the WR line, and a front brake caliper. But this is noticeable only upon close inspection, otherwise the bike is quite decent.
