YAMAHA YBR-125 (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha YBR-125 was a lightweight, small-displacement motorcycle that debuted in 2005 to replace the Yamaha SR 125 and was eventually replaced by the Yamaha YS 125. The bike was available in naked, faired, and custom versions.

The bike featured several modifications for the 2010 model year, including a new fuel tank cover, a more aerodynamic analog instrument panel with a rpm meter mounted above the headlight, a redesigned passenger handle, and a redesigned exhaust silencer.

In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha YBR-125, a small, agile, good-handling, and affordable motorcycle that was well-suited even for beginner riders and the most experienced ones.

In the aesthetic department, the bike was equipped with standard features, such as a large, round headlight up front, a one-piece dual seat, a small luggage rack with an integrated passenger rail, a single exhaust system, and five-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

As with previous models, the 2012 motorcycle 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 with 105 mm of travel.

In the performance department, the 2012 Yamaha YBR-125 had its soul brought to life by a 124cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine managed by a fuel injection system, delivering 10 hp with a peak force at 7,800 rpm and 9 Nm (7 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
