First Look on 2008 Yamaha YZF-R125
2008 yamaha YZF-R125
Last month yamaha released information on an all-new addition to its supersport lineup. Was it a mammoth displacement beast to battle the mighty ZX-14 or Hayabusa? Nope, think about 1200cc less, because the bike we're talking about is the 125cc 2008 YZF-R125.
The new design fuses the styling of yamaha's big-bore road-racing platforms, the YZF-R6 supersport and YZF-R1 superbike, but in a tamed down 125cc design. The new yamaha is a fuel injected, liquid-cooled 124.6cc Single, with four valves and SOHC. Unlike its big brothers, the 125 is an undersquare design, with a 52mm bore and 58.6mm stroke. With a compression ratio of 11.2:1 the YZF-R125's Single produces claimed peak numbers of 14.75 horsepower at 9,000rpm and 9 lb-ft of torque at 8,000rpm.
