Yamaha Ray Zr 125

The Yamaha Ray Zr 125 has a top speed of ~90-95 km/h (estimated real-world; manufacturer does not officially publish top speed), produces ~8.2 hp and weighs 99 kg. Motoryk rates it 7/10.

Le Yamaha Ray ZR 125 a été introduit en Inde en 2017 en tant que scooter sportif orienté vers la rue destiné aux jeunes conducteurs urbains, s'appuyant sur la série Ray originale lancée en 2012. Il a fait l'objet d'une importante mise à jour vers 2018-2019 avec l'introduction de la variante « Street Rally » au style inspiré du motocross, et a été amélioré pour répondre aux normes d'émission BS6 (équivalent Euro 5) en 2020. Il est connu pour être l'un des scooters 125cc les plus élégants de Yamaha sur le marché indien, alliant une esthétique sportive à la technologie d'économie de carburant Blue Core de la marque.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

⚙️

Blue Core Engine Tech

The Ray ZR 125 uses Yamaha's Blue Core engine technology, delivering a claimed fuel efficiency of around 50-55 km/l. This makes it one of the most fuel-efficient 125cc scooters in its segment.

🔧

Watch the Belt Drive

The CVT belt and rollers are known wear items — inspect them every 20,000–25,000 km to avoid sudden power loss or jerky acceleration. Replacement is affordable but commonly overlooked by owners.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Ray ZR 125 holds resale value well due to Yamaha's trusted brand reputation and steady demand in the used scooter market. A well-maintained unit typically retains 60–70% of its value after 2–3 years.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion

7.0/10
Idéal pour
Daily city commuters wanting reliable, affordable transport

"Solid urban scooter if service history checks out completely."

$1,200-$2,200 used

The Ray ZR 125 is Yamaha's street-fighter take on the scooter formula, and honestly, it punches above its weight for urban commuting. That 125cc fuel-injected single is smooth and surprisingly peppy through city traffic — not fast, but confidence-inspiring for newer riders. Build quality feels solid for the segment, and Yamaha's reliability reputation generally holds up here. If you're buying used, check the CVT belt and rollers first — owners who ignore the 8,000km service intervals often neglect these, and replacement isn't cheap relative to the bike's value. Suspension is street-focused and handles potholes decently, though spirited cornering reveals its budget roots quickly. The Street Rally variant with dual-tone color and knobby tires looks sharper but rides identically. Watch for crash damage around the fairing corners — panels are expensive to source and previous owners frequently lowside these in wet parking lots. Mileage under 15,000km with service history is the sweet spot.
