Yamaha has released details and pictures of its updated R125 sportsbike



The new YZF-R125 has been radically revised, for 2014 it gets a new front cowl inspired by the R6 and features an air intake located between the headlights.






The bike now gets upside-down front forks and a redesigned triple clamp. Yamaha says the new front suspension ‘ensures better stability and improved front wheel feedback.’ It also has a redesigned rear suspension linkage system.

A new fuel-injection system improves fuel efficiency by around 11% to increase tank range over the old model.

A radial front caliper and floating front disc brake are now fitted as standard for extra braking power. They will be mounted onto newly designed alloy wheels with Y-shaped spokes, tyre size remains the same.



The instrumentation also gets a fresh look. The backlit LCD dash unit features a digital speedo and tach, and a multi-function display on the left shows engine temperature, maximum speed, average speed and fuel consumption data.

The rear brake pedal, shift lever and passenger footrest brackets are made from aluminium and there’s also a new tail light with a built in guide light.
