An entry-level sportbike from the Japanese brand’s R family in several International markets. The Yamaha YZF-R125 has showcased at the imminent 2018 INTERMOT motorcycle show in Cologne, Germany. The motorcycle that is a decade old in the markets received a comprehensive cosmetic update in 2014.
The 2019 R125 iteration comes with the same design language of the predecessor-inspired from the R1 superbike, a sleek LED headlamp with sharp styling. Besides, the model seeks the addition of Valve Variation Actuation (VVA) as a noticeable change, being offered with the Yamaha R15 V3.0 in our country. In the automotive industry, the VVA is recognized for endowing a good low-and mid-range performance without affecting its top-end delivery. Also, the ride in city traffic conditions will be easier without gear shifting stress.

The underpinnings of the new R125 are also revived to enhance handling dynamics. The Deltabox chassis has been revised with the addition of a shorter and lighter aluminium swingarm. While, the braking and suspension on the motorcycle with a wider 140/70-17 rear tyre, is under consideration of shared mechanicals from the outgoing model.
