    World GP 60th Anniversary colours

    Yamaha’s original GP bikes featured a white fairing with red “speed block” graphics, as well as a red front fender and golden wheels. The R125 World GP 60th Anniversary recreates this iconic look and pays tribute to the machines and riders that have helped Yamaha win over 500 Grand Prix and 38 World Championships, since the company’s first GP in 1961.

    High-tech 125cc EU5 engine with VVA system

    The R125 World GP 60th Anniversary’s engine benefits from an innovative Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) system that optimises the valve position for high levels of low rpm torque with strong high rpm power – and delivers excellent fuel efficiency. A wide diameter throttle body gives a smooth and controllable throttle feel – and the exhaust system produces a sporty and emotive sound.

    Excellent combustion efficiency

    To achieve high levels of intake efficiency the R125 World GP 60th Anniversary’s engine is equipped with large intake and exhaust valves as well as a compact combustion chamber. Combined with the high-tech VVA – as well as the large throttle body and sports exhaust system – this configuration produces impressive acceleration.

    Deltabox frame for precise handling and control

    Delivering smooth and light handling characteristics as well as excellent high-speed comfort, the R125 World GP 60th Anniversary is one of the best-handling bikes in its category. Its Deltabox frame uses optimum front and rear geometry as well as a short aluminium swingarm and 41 mm upside down forks to give you the ultimate 125 supersport chassis specification.

    Yamaha R-Series models are designed to give you the ultimate in style, performance and technology, and to underline its position as the premium 125 supersport, the R125 World GP 60th Anniversary features a lightweight aluminium swingarm. Manufactured using Yamaha’s advanced casting technology, its short dimensions, low weight and optimised rigidity deliver sporty handling performance.

    A&S (Assist & Slipper) clutch

    To help you take full advantage of the free-revving engine performance, the R125 World GP 60th Anniversary is equipped with an A&S clutch that gives a light feel at the lever for easy operation and precise control. This design ensures smooth and efficient acceleration, and during deceleration the A&S clutch improves controllability.

    R-Series DNA body design

    Inspired by the iconic R1, the confident and aggressively styled face features dual LED headlights that reinforce the shared family DNA. Its M1 MotoGP® style front fairing underlines the race-bred specification, and with a 12 LED taillight and premium finish, there’s no mistaking the pure R-Series DNA in the R125 World GP 60th Anniversary’s stunning bodywork.

    Wide 140-section rear tyre
