YZ125

The YZ125 was developed with a clear mission: to offer young motocross riders a winning machine on all levels. That’s why we’ve developed the fastest Yamaha 125cc two-stroke engine ever, as well as the lightest high-tech chassis, with industry-leading suspension and radically streamlined bodywork.

Take a look

  • More powerful YZ125 engine

Evolution in two times.

Powered by a lightweight race engine and benefiting from the famous torque-boosting YPVS (Yamaha Power Valve System), the YZ125 delivers hard-hitting power that keeps you in front. High-efficiency air intake ensures optimal performance and instant throttle response, while the fast and precise close-ratio 6-speed transmission helps you shave precious seconds off your lap times.

Its sharp-looking, ultra-slim bodywork gives you a high degree of control on the ground and in the air, and the flat seat and race-grade ergonomics let you move easily around the bike under hard braking and acceleration. The YZ125 is here to win – now all you have to do is add your skill and prepare to enter the victorYZone!
