YAMAHA R125


Yamaha India has confirmed the launch of its much awaited and highly anticipated R125. The Yamaha R125 is the younger sibling (but more appealing) of the R15 and will be launched on the 17th of this month. It is powered by a 124.66cc engine which gives a maximum power of 14.5 bhp at 9000 rpm and maximum torque of 12.2 Nm at 8000 rpm. The R125 is 2015 mm long, 660 mm wide and 970 mm tall. It has a wheelbase of 1355 mm and ground clearance of 155 mm. The Yamaha R125 will be priced at Rs. 83,754/- (ex-showroom, Delhi) and will be available in 4 colours namely Burning Blue, Sports White, Impact Yellow and Midnight black. The launch of the R125 comes as a surprise to us as we were expecting Yamaha to launch the SZ16 (pictures here) which they showcased at the Auto Expo.






“We will enter the premium 125cc space with the R125 on the 17th of April. It will be the first sports 125cc machine in the country,” Yamaha India representative, who wished to remain anonymous said on the sidelines of a new boutique dealership launch in Dharavi. “Rajpal Yadav will be the brand ambassador of our new product as Mr. Yadav and the bike compliment each other. We intend to compete with the Pulsar 135 and CBF Stunner FI,” he added.

It would be rock the Indian bike scenario but the high priced like that one is may be a thinking point, about a lakh rupees for a 125 cc bike its not belivable, it would give 40 to 45 kmpl mileage overall, Suman
