Power and performance
The 2021 Yamaha R125 draws power from a Euro 5-compliant 124.7cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that generates 14.79hp of maximum power at 9,000rpm and 12.4Nm of peak torque at 8,000rpm. The mill comes mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
What about safety and suspension setup?
To ensure the safety of the rider, the 2021 Yamaha R125 is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels along with dual-channel ABS for improved handling on the roads. Meanwhile, the suspension duties on the motorcycle are taken care of by 41mm inverted telescopic forks on the front side and a mono-shock unit on the rear end.
The bike is unlikely to be launched in India
The 2021 Yamaha R125 will be up for grabs globally by the end of this year. However, it is unlikely to make its way to India given the R15 V3 is already available in the country as the company's entry-level fully-faired model.
