Stated as the company’s “most advanced 125 production supersport machine ever”, Yamaha has confirmed that the 2009 Yamaha YZF-R125 will be due showrooms from late September.

Engineered by the same production as crew as the YZF-R6 and the champion YZF-R1, the R125 exceeds brilliant technology derived from the company’s major experience in MotoGP.

Torqued by a four-stroke, four-valve single-cylinder 125cc SOHC motor and dualled with a six-speed gearbox, the YZF-R125 is sure to deliver optimum power throughout the range to maximum torque of 9000rpm.

Erected on a Deltabox frame with aluminium swing-arm, the R125 boasts lightweight five-spoke tyres, with a huge diameter 292mm front disc and 230mm rear disc.

With instant powerful response, the R125 has a compact fuel injection system charged by a large-capacity airbox which unites with two inlet valves and delivers powerful intake efficiency and designed throttle response over the range.

Also included is an R-series which is stylish and inspired from larger R1 and R6 siblings, together with an R6-style mid-ship muffler, Yamaha states the R125 is “targeted at the discerning buyer”.

This year's Yamaha YZF-R125 will be due for release from late September, with an RRP of $6999 incl GST.
