About this model
About the Yamaha YZF R 125
The Yamaha YZF-R125 is a fully-faired supersport powered by a liquid-cooled 125 cc single-cylinder engine, designed for riders with an AM or A1 licence. With its R-series styling, committed riding position, and lightweight chassis, the YZF-R125 delivers a genuine supersport feel in the smallest licence category. Introduced in 2008 and regularly updated, it received a thorough second generation in 2019 featuring LED lighting, a TFT dashboard, and a revised engine.
The YZF-R125 targets young riders (16+) and those who want to join the Yamaha R-series family without a full licence. Its light 142 kg kerb weight, approachable engine, and low barrier to entry make it suitable for beginners, while the sporty chassis and brakes reward track days in the 125 cc class. Direct rivals are the Honda CBR125R and KTM RC 125.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the fairing for cracks and repair work after minor drops; the plastic fairings are fragile and expensive relative to the bike's value.
- Inspect the front fork for leaking seals; the conventional fork on early models (2008–2018) is more prone to wear.
- Check the exhaust header joint for corrosion; common on bikes that have not been maintained regularly.
- Check the cooling system for leaks at the radiator; the small radiator is positioned vulnerably at the front.
- Inspect the rear monoshock for correct function and oil seepage; sometimes set too stiff for comfortable road use.
