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..

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).

€ 4,599 in May 2014

On the other hand, two increases are to be reported for 2014, but it is likely that many would have gone well … The weight announced all full thus increases from 138 to 140 kg, while the price amounts to € 4,599 instead. from 4399…

Good news however, the YZF-R125 continues to be manufactured in France in 2014, in Saint-Quentin (02), from where it will be shipped in from May..
