The 124.7cc, single-cylinder engine on R125 is good for 15HP at 9000 rpm and 12.4 Nm at 8000 rpm. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox with slipper clutch.

INTERMOT 2018: All-New Yamaha YZF-R125 Officially Unveiled[/caption] The economical option sips fuel at the rate of 2.13L/100km. The mileage is almost similar to Indian products with 150cc engines under the fairing. The high power output and higher revving range is the reason behind this value. The front 292mm and rear 230mm disc brake come with dual-channel ABS as standard. Yamaha has upgraded the rear tire to a 140-section unit for better grip. The bike weighs 142 kg and claims minimum ground clearance of 155mm. It comes with a higher than usual 825mm of seat height and VVA for higher performance when the engine is running in low range. As of now, Yamaha has no plans to launch the R125 in India.
