It is the end of childhood for the Yamaha YZF-R 125. In time of vocation comes the moments of aggressiveness and envy, as if the genes of the bloodiest sportswomen were flying away from the vibrators to imbibe themselves in the skin of this nymphet. It has been a bunch of years since sport grindstones rocked into the crucible of competition, without sweetener. At Yam, a tactical milestone was crossed when the R1 and R6 took the fold of the M1. Envious, and even opportunistic, the small R-125 in turn chose a more radical design, this one associated with a frank evolution of the machine..
Although the market is collapsing, war continues to rage on all sides among sportswomen. It’s not the kind of little R to let the conflict slip away. Wanting to cut through the elements more, her silhouette was refined, sharp, assertive, as if her character had matured. Always a rebel, she has not given in to the temptation to take the profile engaged in MotoGP like her big sisters; rather, she would tend to show her affectation for the siblings. Its fairing evokes fleetingly that of the old generation of R6 while its facies hesitates between that of an R6 or a current R1 … or an RSV4. The stern is redesigned at the same time. And we will not fail to appreciate the shark gills carved on the top of the tank. This YZF has fire in its eyes.
Almost enough to make believe that a big engine lives in there. Except that this R is not intended to orbit young bikers but to give them a taste for sport. As in all motorcycles in this category, the production of energy and impatience is entrusted to a single cylinder 4. Yamaha, however, wanted to implement a new mechanism. With a class-first Variable Valve Control (VVA) system, new injection with a larger throttle body, a reduced combustion chamber and a new cylinder head where the 4 valves are shorter and wider, the engine wins. in torque in low revs and promises to be more efficient. All his good will, however, will be limited to the 15 regulatory horses..
But the R 125 believes in it, as hard as steel. It takes advantage of its transfer to review its cooling, acquire an anti-dribble assisted clutch, and rework its chassis to make it more efficient..
An R is a Deltabox framework where everything revolves around it. It does not change fundamentally but takes advantage of the OCCAZ ‘to review its geometry, just to be more agile. The 41mm inverted fork is optimized, the rear tire is increased to 140mm wide and the rear braking gets a new caliper as well as new pads. You have been careful with the swing arm. Not too much …. Normal, we see it less than before. On the one hand, the new, more imposing silencer hides a good part of it; on the other hand, it is a new element, shorter and of an optimized rigidity thanks to the aluminum casting process.
Take a tour to judge the new LED headlights, front and rear. Get on board, feel, touch. Hey, the ergonomics have changed. The new half-handlebars are more open and more horizontal, the saddles are thicker and the 11-liter tank has been redesigned, in order to better hold on to the knees during the piloting phases. And then, we can more easily remove it for maintenance of the mechanics.
Turn the key to bring it to life. First at the brand new dashboard before the mono hums. It will instantly make you forget the old instrumentation. As much the latter was an elaborate gadget while the unique small LCD panel seems inspired by the essentials of performance. Complete, it gives pride of place to speed, bar graph, keeps a good place for the fuel gauge, displays the gear engaged as well as the status of the VVA system, can change the lighting and do not forget the clock.
The final touch, unstoppable, attention to detail, irresistible: the protection of the brake lever. Ideal to complete the upper triple tree openwork with much more racing stripes. The paddock and the track are not far away.
