The Yamaha YZF-R125 was a motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha, which re-entered the supersport segment as a competitor to the Honda CBR125 model.
The bike was launched in 2008 in four different colors, such as Burning Blue, Midnight Black, Sports White, and Impact Yellow, while in 2009, it came in a Sunset Red livery and dropped the Impact Yellow livery.
The 2016 Yamaha YZF-R125 was the smallest bike manufactured by Yamaha but fitted with the latest technologies developed by the maker at the time and designed to offer great control at high speeds.
Also, the bike 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, a forged aluminum rear brake pedal, and shift lever, and aluminum die-cast passenger footrests.
In the performance department, the bike took its thrust from 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.
The 2016 model featured the most sophisticated LCD instrument panels ever seen on a 125cc motorcycle at the time and an R6-inspired front cowl that offered a big bike look and feel topped by aerodynamic bodywork for maximum riding excitement.
