YAMAHAYZF-R 125 2015 - 2016

　　In 2015, Yamaha released the YZF-R125, an exciting new member of the R family best suited for those riders who wanted to get acquainted with the basics of sports motorcycles.

　　Like its bigger brothers, the R125 model came in a Deltabox frame that delivered an optimum balance of strength and rigidity with class-leading performance but also with aggressive R-class styling and technology borrowed from the bigger bikes fitted in a smaller package.

　　The Deltabox frame, which formed the basis for riding comfort and handling performance, was designed for the best longitudinal, lateral, and torsional rigidity balance, with the engine used as a stressed member for batter strength and rigidity.

　　The 2015 Yamaha YZF-R125 featured R6-inspired dual headlight fairing with race-type air intake between the headlights, a highly efficient fuel injection system, lightweight race-bred Y-shaped wheels with Y-shaped spokes, forged aluminum rear brake pedal, and shift lever, and aluminum die-cast passenger footrests.

　　In the performance department, the bike had at its core a 124cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 15 hp with a peak at 9,000 rpm and 12 Nm (nine lb-ft) of torque available at 8,000 rpm.

　　For suspension, the bike packed a 41 mm upside-down telescopic fork on the front and a spring preload-adjustable monoshock absorber on the rear.
