YAMAHA YBR-125 (2009-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha YBR-125, a small-displacement motorcycle, affordable and good-handling. The bike packed the same package as the previous model without any modifications.

The Yamaha YBR-125 was introduced in 2005 as a replacement model for the Yamaha SR125 and was later replaced by the YS125 model. The bike was available in naked, faired, and custom versions, all powered by the same 124cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine.

In the visual department, the bike had standard features, such as a large round headlight with two instruments mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, a small luggage rack, a single exhaust system mounted on the right side, and five-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

The bike was built around a diamond-shaped double-cradle steel frame with a telescopic fork on the front, offering 120 mm of travel, and dual side-mounted shock absorbers on the rear, providing 105 mm of travel.

The braking power was handled by a 245 mm disc on the front wheel and a 130 mm drum braking unit on the rear wheel, delivering optimum braking performance.

As for the power figures, the 2009 Yamaha YBR-125 had installed a 124cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 10 hp at 7,800 rpm and 9 Nm (7 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
