Consumption down, braking up !
This 2014 vintage of the Yamaha YZF-R125 reinforces its resemblance to the Supersport R6 through an unprecedented air intake placed between its sharp optics. Even if this appendix does not increase the efficiency of its 4-stroke single-cylinder (15 hp and 12.4 Nm of torque), the visual effect is successful. !
Likewise, the carbon-style front mudguard coating enhances its sporty style, as does the new "Y" profile of the 17-inch rim poles (100 mm wide at the front and 130 mm at the rear). ).
By the way, the license plate holder has been shortened and seems more compact, while the tail light and muffler have been redesigned..
The most observant will note with interest the arrival of a brake caliper with radial fixing with 4-pistons (2 in 2013) around the front disc of 292 mm. A device worthy of a sport of larger displacement !
The instrumentation is not to be outdone with a new fully digital display composed of three dials on which are displayed the speed, engine speed, maximum and average speed, fuel consumption and level, time and engine temperature.
Not to spoil anything, the scrolling of all these functions is executed directly on the handlebars: in other words, this 2014 model will confirm its status as a 125 cc motorcycle among the most rewarding and best equipped (read in particular our).
The Yamaha bomb is driving the point home by showing off revised suspensions: the 41 mm fork is now inverted and would be "more rigid", while the use of new rods on the rear monoshock would improve comfort.
However, let’s hope that this will be enough to compensate for the amputation of 11 mm operated on the travel of the spring (125 mm in 2013 against 114 in 2014).
Likewise, if we can only rejoice at the announced gain of "about 11%" on fuel consumption thanks to the optimization of the injection system, the range will hardly benefit since the capacity of the vehicle. tank is reduced by more than 2 liters (13.8 in 2013 against 11.5 in 2014).
