Full Features & Techspecs
New colours for the YZF-R6, YZF-R3 and YZF-R125 supersport
models
Yamaha’s R-world features the most complete selection of
high performance supersport motorcycles. Inspired by
Yamaha’s M1 MotoGP bike and led by the flagship YZF-R1M and
YZF-R1, the outstanding 2020 R-Series line-up gives every
thrill-seeking rider the opportunity to move rapidly through
the capacity ranks and progress all the way to the top.
Outstanding braking performance
Equipped with a large diameter 292mm front disc and a 230mm rear disc, the YZF-R125’s braking systems produce outstanding performance. Featuring state-of-the-art calipers and lightweight discs that deliver powerful and progressive stopping power, this sophisticated braking setup gives you precise and accurate control.
Excellent combustion efficiency
To achieve high levels of intake efficiency the YZF-R125
engine is equipped with large intake and exhaust valves as
well as a compact combustion chamber. Combined with the
high-tech VVA – as well as the large throttle body and
sports exhaust system – this configuration produces
impressive acceleration.
Sporty and comfortable riding position
Besides its race-bred YZR-M1 style cockpit, the YZF-R125 is
also equipped with a 2-piece rider and passenger seat
featuring thick foam for a smooth ride. With an optimised
handlebar position and aluminum rear set footrests, the
YZF-R125’s ergonomics give a balanced riding experience
that’s both sporty and comfortable.
Wide 140-section rear tyre
To confirm its strong R-series DNA the YZF-R125 runs with a
wide 140/70-17 rear tyre that gives excellent stability and
confident cornering. Offering a good balance of grip and
durability, this supersport style tyre is designed to enable
you to optimise the potential of the engine’s wide spread of
power, and its wide-section accentuates the bike’s
aggressive R-series stance.
A&S (Assist & Slipper) clutch
To help you take full advantage of the free-revving engine
performance, the YZF-R125 is equipped with an A&S clutch
that gives a light feel at the lever for easy operation and
precise control. This design ensures smooth and efficient
acceleration, and during deceleration the A&S clutch helps
to prevent rear wheel lock ups.
R-series LED twin-eye body design
Inspired by the iconic YZF-R1, the confident and
aggressively styled face features dual LED headlights that
reinforce the shared family DNA. Its M1 MotoGP style front
fairing underlines the race-bred specification, and with a
12 LED taillight and premium finish, there’s no mistaking
the pure R-series DNA in the YZF-R125’s stunning bodywork.
Deltabox frame
Delivering smooth and light handling characteristics as well
as excellent high speed comfort, the YZF-R125 is one of the
best-handling bikes in its category. Its Deltabox frame uses
optimum front and rear geometry as well as a short aluminum
swingarm and 41mm upside down forks to give you the ultimate
125 supersport chassis specification.
Lightweight aluminum swingarm
Yamaha R-series models are designed to give you the ultimate
in style, performance and technology, and to underline its
position as the premium 125 supersport, the YZF-R125
features a lightweight aluminum swingarm. Manufactured using
Yamaha’s advanced casting technology, its short dimensions,
low weight and optimised rigidity deliver sporty handling
performance.
11-litre fuel tank
The YZF-R125’s aggressive race-bred bodywork is complemented
by a sleek fuel tank that emphasises the bike’s pure
supersport pedigree. Consisting of a steel inner tank
protected by lightweight close-fitting external covers with
a high quality finish, the 11-litre tank can be easily
removed for routine maintenance.
MotoGP-inspired YZR-M1 type cockpit
Everything about the YZF-R125 is designed to give you the
ultimate supersport experience. Inspired by Yamaha’s MotoGP
bike, the racy cockpit features a high quality handlebar
crown, as well as a high-visibility LED instrument panel and
brake lever protector that put you in total control on the
track and on the street.
High-visibility LCD instruments
When you turn on the YZF-R125 you’ll be greeted with a
personal greeting from the high-tech instruments – and once
you’re moving the multi-function display gives you
information on gear position and shift timing, as well as a
VVA indicator. Housed in a stylish and sporty panel, these
high-visibility instruments keep you informed.
