Overview
The Yamaha WR 125R is a dual-sport motorcycle in the WR family, produced from 2009 through 2027. The 2027 model uses a 125.0 cm³, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine producing 15 hp (11 kW), with a wet weight of 137.9 kg; torque is not included here.
The 874 mm seat is tall, which can make getting a foot down more difficult for shorter riders. Its 239 mm ground clearance and 210 mm front and 230 mm rear suspension travel help it handle uneven ground, while the 137.9 kg wet weight is something to manage during slow-speed maneuvers. Electric starting means no kick-start routine, and fuel injection handles fuel delivery electronically.
