Yamaha WR 125 X 2012

In Yamaha’s line of green machines, the WRs are authentic endurance sports machines. Suffice to say that if this 125 with the supermoto profile announces this first name, it must have solid arguments. First there is this line and this spirit, inspired by the WR 250, very sporty, aggressive, which returns the XTX 125 to the rank of toy. The 4-valve single-cylinder engine could not be more modern, with liquid cooling, state-of-the-art injection, and 15 hp at 9,000 rpm. If it comes from the sports car YZF-R 125, the exhaust and intake are adapted for better response to normal revs. The gearbox is also identical, except for the last report.

With 17-inch rims fitted with sport tires and 210 and 230 mm suspension travel, the WR-X is indeed a supermot. Valuable, lively, the machine seems ready to pounce. In addition to a front axle of good quality (41 mm fork, 298 mm brake disc), the Yam does not forget the nice little details, like the footrests with the big grip as on the competition machines, the folding selector, a large 140 rear gommard, or the body-color painted frame.
For 2011, the WRX 125 is more accessible, optimized with a lowered seat with softer foam, a new fork and rear shock, and a modified side stand..
