You dont have to be Einstein to realise that the new R125 generates 12% more power, than too at 1000 revs low and pumps out 15.4% more torque at the same rpm. What does this mean? The YZF R125 leaves the CBR 125R for dead. Ok, lemme add, the R125 even weighs 1.2 kg less than the CBR!
It is now upto Yamaha to price this beauty properly to have a winner on their hands, and I feel they will do it!
