2019 · Allround
The 2019 Yamaha YS125 represents a refined evolution in Yamaha's long-standing lineage of accessible and dependable 125cc motorcycles, succeeding the popular YBR125. As an "Allround" category machine, it aims to provide a versatile and user-friendly experience for a broad spectrum of riders. In the competitive 125cc commuter segment, it faces strong rivals such as the Honda CB125F and Suzuki GSX-S125, each vying for the attention of new riders and those seeking efficient daily transport.
At its heart, the YS125 is powered by a 125.00 ccm (7.63 cubic inches) engine, meticulously engineered for reliability and efficiency. This powerplant generates a modest yet entirely adequate 10.46 HP (7.6 kW) at 7500 RPM, providing sufficient thrust for urban navigation and country lanes. Torque figures stand at 10.80 Nm (1.1 kgf-m or 8.0 ft.lbs) at a lower 6000 RPM, contributing to its tractable nature and ease of use from a standstill. With a generous fuel tank capacity of 14.00 litres (3.70 gallons), riders can expect impressive range, minimizing fuel stops and enhancing its practicality for daily commutes.
Riding characteristics of the YS125 prioritize comfort and predictability. Its upright stance, typical of an all-round motorcycle, ensures a natural and relaxed posture, reducing fatigue on longer journeys. The seat height, at 795 mm (31.3 inches) at its lowest setting, is accommodating for a wide range of rider heights, contributing to confident handling and easy maneuverability at low speeds. The suspension setup is tuned for absorbing road imperfections, offering a smooth ride, while the chassis provides stable and predictable handling, instilling confidence in newer riders.
The Yamaha YS125 2019 is primarily aimed at new riders, urban commuters, and those seeking an economical and reliable mode of transport. Its user-friendly controls, low running costs, and manageable power output make it an ideal choice for learning the ropes of motorcycling or for navigating congested city environments. Its "Allround" classification truly reflects its ability to serve multiple purposes without specializing in one, making it a sound and practical choice for everyday motorcycling needs.
