Yamaha reveal 2008 YZF-R125 learner sports motorcycle

This is the all-new 2008 Yamaha YZF-R125 motorcycle which will go head to head with the top-selling Honda CBR125R.

 

The Yamaha YZF-R125 uses an all-new liquid-cooled 124cc, four-valve, short-stroke single cylinder engine, which is claimed to be the most powerful 125cc four-stroke motorcycle available. It has a six-speed gearbox and fuel injection, and a Yamaha YZF-R6 style stubby exhaust with twin catalysts is fitted.

 

A full size Deltabox beam frame is used to make the Yamaha YZF-R125 feel and ride closer to a full size bike than the Honda CBR125R, and an aluminium ‘banana’ style swingarm, 33mm diameter forks and a 292mm brake disc/Brembo caliper and wide tyres complete the mini-sportsbike chassis.

 

The styling is close to the new 2008 Yamaha YZF-R6 – the short tail and aggressive looking twin headlight fairing are almost indistinguishable from the 600 at distance. Colours are blue/black, red/white, grey/black or yellow/black.

[redders]

u bet.. it really looks like R6 ..

[apekyano]

woww! when will this beauty come to singapore? and roughly how much?

[GrimReaper]

Yeah, i guess the pricetag will be more expensive then the honda 150 or the honda 125rr

[mechwira]

interesting.

 

now we have a 4-stroke 2b sportsbike made in europe. the rs125 is a 2-stroke made in europe, whereas the cbr150r is a 4-stroke made in thailand.

 

so when (or if) the r125 arrive locally.... will it be priced like a rs125 or like a cbr150r? will it go like a rs125 or will it go like a cbr150r?

 

in a best case scenario it will cost like cbr150r and go like an rs125. but i can hear the skeptics already.....

 

worst case, it'll cost like an rs125 but go like a cbr150r.....

[house]

fwah! a bike every big biker wannabe would drool for. i guess the price would be at least 8k or so? rly sharp and sexy looking.

[Shinsou]

will it be coming to SG?

[Hendra87]

wow, looks like thi is the new breed of class 2b sportbikes together with rs125.

[Shinsou]

if it comes i'm definitely getting it man lol..

[hachi]

It looked like CBR600 and 125....Huh???

[slap]

looks like a rs125 but moves like a cbr150 and sounds like a spark i guess lol

Nt Realli, although they might Actualli Hav da same standard of abilities

bt no dealer in sg iz importing it, so we are juz bad luck

 

by da way da bike was setted to aim to be da 1st owned bike for a rider,so streein iz actualli better (:
