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.
De Yamaha Ray ZR 125 werd in 2017 in India geïntroduceerd als een sportieve, straatgerichte scooter gericht op jonge stadsrijders, voortbouwend op de originele Ray-serie die in 2012 werd gelanceerd. De auto kreeg een belangrijke update rond 2018-2019 met de introductie van de 'Street Rally'-variant met een op motorcross geïnspireerde styling, en werd in 2020 geüpgraded om te voldoen aan de BS6-emissienormen (Euro 5-equivalent). Het is opmerkelijk omdat het een van Yamaha's meest stijlvolle 125cc-scooters op de Indiase markt is, waarbij sportieve esthetiek wordt gecombineerd met de Blue Core-brandstofefficiëntietechnologie van het merk.

Wat kopers moeten weten
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.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"Solid urban scooter if service history checks out completely."
$1,200-$2,200 usedThe 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.
