A Gathering of YAMAHA YZF R125 Riderz...

[littlesweetie]

Review says avg fuel consumption for Yamaha R125 52MPG.

 

That's abt 22.5km/l. A bit high for a 4-stroke 125cc bike right?

Guys, is the YZF-R125 out in Singapore officially ? If it is, how much is it total otr ? Thnks.

Hey Guys. I'm using my friends account as i'm unable to create an account of my own. Well, I'm quarter way thru my 2B License. I might get RS 125. But I want to knw the pros & cons of the bike. Quite a number of people says it's really an expensive bike to maintain. Pls enlighten me what they actually meant. I knw that the looks & power of it is really good. A sales man from Mah motors told me that this bike is meant for racing. So it will get spoilt faster / give mechanical problems if you ride it below 100km/h & he also said that you got to send the bike for tuning pretty often. Hope you guys can guide me & answer my queries about this bike.

 

Really appreciate.

 

Thanks & Regards.

 

 

PS - I called S1 Motor yesterday to just check the price for RS 125 ( just curious ).

They said it's S$14 000 otr. Is it a good price or . . ??

I dun tink it's expensive to maintain...Maintainence of bike is just change of spark plugs and engine oil...Will be the same as SPs or KRRs...But if u get into an accident and parts spoil,it will be expensive to replace the parts as it's an italian bike...

 

But the bike realli looks nice though...Will get it if i ever intend to downgrade.

Heres the thing.. both looks really good compared to other 2B bikes.. RoadwinR has a DOHC but 5 speed gear ratio while R125 has SOHC but 6 gear ratio..

 

Makes me stuck in between this two bikes..

yup i have this friend who ride rs125 in e past.. and he told me basically this bike maint is almost like any other 2T bikes ( engine oil spark plug etc etc) and yes the engine is meant for performance but i have doubt in what that saleman in mah motor told u about the bike giving prob if ride below100.. for my frends case he rode it over 130 quite oftenly and the engine started to give prob here n there...he complained of frequent tuning and engine overhaul which cost few hundreds. What i think is buy a 2nd hand rs125 ride it for a yr and upgrade to 2A bike after that and oh ya pls take care of this bike becos the parts are EXPENSIVE...top speed 190pluskm/hr with mod 200? haha but ride safe bro btw 14000 on e road is realli crazy...what i think is go for KR or SP much cheaper but performance is there too..

How often do you have to change the engine oil, spark plug, etc ? What would the estimation price cost for that ?

 

I was really surprise when the salesman said than it gotten be ridden above 130km/h if not it'll be spoilt. I told him how can Singapore allow such a bike when the speed legal is lower than it. Mah motors is realiable ?? How often he send for tuning & engine overhaul ?? I doubt i'll upgrade to Class 2A bike. Yeha, heard the parts is really expensive. Estimation, not necessary to change the parts for at least 18-24 months, right ? The price is nuts for a 2B. I agree. Honestly, I dislike KR though can get first hand. SP is nice . They are Japanese made. I'll for sure choose YZF-R125 than KR. I'm eyeing for the YZF-R125 & RS125. SP last production if I ain't wrong, it's on 2002. So it's like how many hands . Hehe.

a very bad ass 2b bike. think the expensive maintenance part is because u cant get 'chiong' parts if u need to repair, u have to get the original and it may be very costly. and if what he say is true, u ride below 100km/hr, spoil faster, i dont think its worth it. then u can only play on expressway. cause normal road, sometimes hard to maintain at 100. i think u should save the 14k and maybe buy a 1st hand super4 when u get a class 2a license.

 

pros:

1. fast

2. good looking

 

cons:

1. expensive spare parts

2. maybe fc worser than a sp or tzm.

 

think thats about all. oya, btw, i voted for not worth it.
