YAMAHA SCOOTERS- TWO NEW 125CC LEARNER MOTORCYCLES, XT125R AND XT125X


Yamaha strengthen its 125cc line-up with the introduction of the XT125R and XT125X for riders who need a 125cc machine offering big-bike looks and image, with great performance at an acceptable price.

Yamaha XT125R
The XT125R is an all-new 4-stroke dual-purpose style machine, designed to appeal to entry level customers who want a stylish and easy to use all-rounder at a competitive price. Its rugged dual-purpose styling has been inspired by the successful Yamaha XT660R adventure sport bike.

The nimble and agile XT125R has a compact chassis, with a low seat height of only 860mm and a dry weight of 111kg, making this new lightweight 4-stroke an ideal choice for younger and smaller riders. A strong, box section steel frame and plush front and rear suspension deliver a smooth, comfortable ride. Its rider-friendly character, compact dimensions and responsive 4-stroke engine also make the new XT125R a clear choice for customers of all ages who are new to two wheels.

Yamaha XT125R
A high-level front mudguard, enduro style headlight assembly and tough polypropylene fork protectors underline the bike’s dual-purpose image, and a 10-litre fuel tank gives plenty of range between refills.

Powered by a reliable 124cc air-cooled 4-stroke SOHC single cylinder engine which delivers plenty of smooth, controllable power. Its ‘square’ bore and stroke dimensions of 54mm x 54mm give a responsive, free-revving engine, making this new lightweight an extremely rider-friendly bike.

The new XT125R comes equipped with both an electric starter and kick starter and 5-speed transmission. For reduced emissions the exhaust system is equipped with a catalyser and an air induction system.

The XT125R comes equipped with a 21 inch front wheel, 18 inch rear wheel, and braking is supplied by a large diameter 245mm front disc with a 220mm rear disc for strong and reliable stopping power.

Available in Yamaha Blue or Yamaha Black, both with the XT logo at £2,499 on the road.
Skid plate available as an optional extra.

Yamaha XT125X
The XT125X is a supermotard-style machine that takes its styling from the popular XT660X, and is designed to appeal to younger, style-conscious riders.

Sharing the same engine, frame and bodywork as the XT125R, the X model has completely different wheels, tyres, front suspension and brakes. Wheels are 17 inch at the front and rear, with a 100/80-17 front tyre and an extra-wide 130/70-17 rear tyre that underlines the supermotard image. The X model also runs with a larger diameter 260mm front disc, and features different front forks offering 175mm of wheel travel, 5mm more than the R model.

Yamaha XT125X
Other detail changes include a black coloured box section swing arm (silver on the R model) as well as a new XT660X-style high level front fender matched to a low level rear section.

Available in Racing Blue and Racing Red with factory block graphics, priced at £2,599 on the road. Skid plate available as an optional extra.
