The Urban Explorer Reimagined
Yamaha is back and ready to rock the off-road world with their new gem, the WR125R. Designed to attract young riding enthusiasts, this bike is not just a pretty face; it’s made for both city cruising and gentle trail adventures. With the A1 licence maximum of 14.8bhp at 10,000rpm, you might just feel like a mini superhero meandering through the urban jungle or tackling a winding dirt path.
Power Meets Comfort
What’s that? Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) – we’re not just throwing fancy lingo around here! This nifty technology is borrowed from Yamaha’s R125, MT-125, and XSR125 models, and it switches between two intake cam profiles to give you a broader spread of power. Think less time spent in the gearbox and more time enjoying the ride. While the WR125R won’t yank your arms out of their sockets, it’s got just enough torque—8.1lb.ft at 6,500rpm—to keep things stimulating on your journey.
A Design that Speaks Adventure
With a side profile reminiscent of larger trail bikes, the WR125R’s semi-double cradle chassis keeps things slim and agile, allowing you to dance through various terrains with ease. Those Dunlop D605 tyres and the upright riding position? Pure bliss! But a word to the wise: with a seat height of 875mm, some shorter newbies may want to grab a booster seat before they straddle this beauty. And let’s not forget the tech—Yamaha MyRide app compatibility means you can track every epic ride and even flaunt your stats to friends. Get ready to be the talk of the town!
