Yamaha YZF-R125

Saw this today on same site i saw the first pics of the 07 gsxr1ks, the new 1000rr's and so on, but I think there a pretty reliable source. no specs on the r125's just pics, I would ride one think of how great it would be for a track bike and a daily commuter for gas. And when kawi finally decided to update the ninja 250s Yamaha had to come out with something that looks better. http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u240/DCMoney22/Yamaha20r1252008.jpg http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u240/DCMoney22/Yamaha20r125200820201.jpg http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u240/DCMoney22/Yamaha20r125200820202.jpg

if its two stroke, then i'm soooooold. Then again, most likely its going to be street legal. So I have a feeling its gonna be a 4-stroke (plus the exhaust). No biggie. Actaully. what the heck am i saying? This prob isn't even coming to the US. Its for europe. Blaaaaaaaaah.

nice lookin bike, the exhaust can looks a bit overkill for a 125 though :hmmm:

oh man i wonder how the kawi 250s look

oh man i wonder how the kawi 250s look go over and search the zx-10r website there is one floating around there it looks like the zx6 its pretty nice looking

The YZF-R125 is not coming to America. I don't know why. Maybe you can get one through Canada, because Canada does sell the Honda version of this. Here are the specs from yamaha europe: Engine - Engine type Liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, 4-valve, single cylinder, SOHC Displacement 124.66 cc Bore x stroke 52.0 x 58.6 mm Compression ratio 11.2:1 Maximum power 11.0 kW (15 PS) @ 9,000 rpm Maximum torque 12.24 Nm (1,25 kg-m) @ 8,000 rpm Lubrication system Wet sump Fuel System Fuel injection Clutch type Wet, multiple-disc coil spring Ignition system TCI Starter system Electric Transmission system Constant mesh, 6-speed Final transmission Chain Fuel tank capacity 13.8 L Oil tank capacity 1.15 L Chassis - Chassis: Steel Deltabox Front suspension system Telescopic forks Front travel 130 mm Rear suspension system Swingarm (monocross) Rear travel 125 mm Front brake Single disc, Ø 292 mm Rear brake Single disc, Ø 230 mm Front tyre 100/80-17 M/C Rear tyre 130/70-17 M/C Dimensions - Length 2,015 mm Width 660 mm Height 970 mm Seat height 818 mm Wheel base 1,355 mm Minimum ground clearance 155 mm Dry weight 126.5 kg http://www.yamaha-motor-europe.com/products/motorcycles/supersport/yzf-r125.jsp?view=techspecs

Blasting tight twisties would be fun fun fun on a 125.

wtf i can't read euro specs.... hahaha PS, Kw, ahhh? oh well also Edit: I notice passenger pegs... now just how much get up and go would that have... i'm thinking noda mucho

nice lookin bike, the exhaust can looks a bit overkill for a 125 though :hmmm: +1, I was thinking it's a photoshop myself. The can is a little big for a 125. It'd probably do 90mph and would be a fun little ride for buzzing around a track.

Since the CBR 125R has been around for a couple of years, I looked up the specification for the Honda CBR 125R to get an idea of what kind of speed the yamaha will get. @13 hp, the CBR 125R gets a top speed of 70mph. Yamahe YZF R125 is around 14.8 hp. Maybe a beginners bike for kid or girl friend. http://www.superbikesmanchester.co.uk/i/2005/07CBR125RGroup1.jpg

Not to mention, I've smoked people in the canyons with while riding a 50cc scooter, and i've seen people get passed in the canyons by someone riding a bicycle (numerous times), heck i've even seen a couple on rollar blades just pass everyone on a downhill. Feel lucky your living in the US. They allow you to buy anything you can afford (or finance). Live in europe and you gotta earn it. They'll start you off on a 125 for like your first 6 years of riding. Then you can move up and get a 600cc sportbike. Which is why you don't see a big market for smaller cc bikes in the united states, europe gets all the "cool" bikes. In the U.S., its about what sells, and sadly, ego's sell.

I can't believe they can only squeeze another 3HP with an additional 75cc... That doesn't sound right.

so your saying we wont ever see this in america??

to tell u the truth i like how it looks and honestly i might buy one if it ever comes to america for my wife! she will like the look and it dosent have to much power perfect womens bike

are you sure?!? only 14HP... hell my Aprilla RS50 (granted it was a 2-stroke, but still) had 11HP... I can't believe they can only squeeze another 3HP with an additional 75cc... That doesn't sound right. RS50 had 11hp? Damn, the YSR and NSR had around 7hp I believe. Then again, the RS50 was more of a "full size' bike. It was basically the same size as the RS125 and RS250. It was still heavier than the NSR and YSR, and its prob the same size and weight of these bikes. So their still faster....actually MUCH faster. But your forgetting, its a 4-stroke, not a two. And it has alot more torque and its more of a smooth curve being a 4-stroke. Requires less shifting, so it more for a "lazy" rider. I'm sure that was the point of it. Don't forget, the 125 4-stroke ones are pretty much a GP bike. Pricy too.

It would go about 60 to 65 mph depending on how heavy the person on it was. Being it was basically full size (same size as the 250 Ninja) made it alot of fun 'cause it was SOOO light and flickable. Also before you view the pic, no I don't ride without gear, that was merely a photo-op by a dad who has to take pictures of EVERYTHING reguardless of it's importance. http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x7/RedRacer07/Aprillia.jpg
