2014 Yamaha YZF-R125 studio 3/4 view

Yamaha has revamped its latest YZF-R125 to look and feel more like a scaled down MotoGP racer. The company, a leader in the sports 125cc market for a number of years, constantly hones its tiny zappers, but always within the power limits established by national authorities around the world.

In Europe, for example, 125cc bikes of any kind are not allowed to have more than 15 horsepower. But within this power limit, Yamaha has created a lovely little screamer that’s dressed in a radically redesigned fairing inspired by that of the celebrated YZF-R6 Supersport racer. Double headlights flank the air scoop, which is now located on the nose of the fairing for maximum efficiency.
The engine has been upgraded, too. Given the power limits, the lively, liquid-cooled sohc four valver has been designed with undersquare measurements (52mm bore x 58.6mm stroke) to obtain the fattest possible torque curve at mid rpm. Additionally, the undersquare measurements allow a very clean combustion chamber design and a flat piston top, along with a compression ratio of 11.2:1. This ensures good midrange response, thanks also to the completely renewed integrated injection-ignition system, which further aids fuel efficiency.

                                  Yamaha YZF-R1                                           Loved by every bike enthusiast, feared by other liter class bike manufacturers. That, in a nutshell, is the Yamaha YZF-R1. When launched in 1998, it turned the whole biking industry on its head. It brought a slew of revolutionary racetrack technology, never seen before on a production bike. All this and more, in a beautifully sharp package. Its engine produced 127.8 bhp at the rearwheel. It pulled away so ferociously, that it could give the V8 engined  BOSS HOSS BIKES a run for their money . But while Boss Hoss bikes are big and imposing, this one is more on the beautiful side. It might not be as exclusive as a CONFEDERATE  motorcycle, but it is a legend. ...

Being one of the largest motorcycle manufacturers in the world certainly says something about the success of the motor company’s development model. So, when the representatives at a Harley new model press briefing mention styling first, it should come as no surprise. Reintroducing a model that was first released in 1977 (at Daytona Bike Week, no less) after it has been on a five year hiatus, ...
