YAMAHA TDR 125 (1995-2002) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha TDR 125 was a travel enduro motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha from the end of the 1980s. It was the little sister of Yamaha TDM and was powered by a 125cc two-stroke made by Minarelli.

The bike was based on the larger displacement motorcycles made by Yamaha with a 1980s design and a characteristic appearance provided by the two round headlights. It was available with various accessories supplied by many suppliers, including other chain sprockets, exhaust systems, an intake membrane, and more.

In 1995, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha TDR 125, a rapidly accelerating motorcycle without top high-end power. It was a simple machine with a very powerful engine for its size.

The bike was equipped from the factory with standard features, including a half fairing, two round headlights on the front, a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, and lightweight three-spoke aluminum wheels.

In the performance department, the 1995 Yamaha TDR 125 had its soul brought to life by a 124cc two-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering 15 hp with a peak force at 9,500 rpm and 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) torque at 9,500 rpm.

A telescopic fork and a 320 mm brake disc handled the front suspension and braking performance, while the rear end was driven by a preload-adjustable shock absorber with a 210 mm brake disc.
