Yamaha Ybr 125

The Yamaha Ybr 125 has a top speed of 110 km/h, produces 9.8 hp and weighs 121 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

La Yamaha YBR125 se presentó en 2005 como una motocicleta básica asequible y confiable dirigida a los mercados en desarrollo de Asia, América Latina y Europa. Se convirtió en una de las bicicletas de pequeña cilindrada más vendidas de Yamaha en todo el mundo debido a su eficiencia de combustible, bajos costos de mantenimiento y durabilidad. El modelo se actualizó a lo largo de los años, incluidas las variantes con inyección de combustible, y fue ampliamente elogiado como una motocicleta ideal para principiantes y para viajes urbanos antes de ser eliminada gradualmente en muchos mercados a mediados de la década de 2010.

Lo que los compradores deben saber

🔧

Bulletproof Engine Reliability

The YBR 125's air-cooled SOHC engine is renowned for exceeding 50,000 km with minimal issues when given basic maintenance. It's one of the most reliable 125cc commuters ever built.

⚠️

Watch the Cam Chain

A common issue is cam chain tensioner wear, which causes a rattling noise on startup — budget for replacement around 20,000–30,000 km. Catching it early prevents costly engine damage.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The YBR 125 holds its value exceptionally well due to high demand and its reputation for longevity. A well-maintained example can retain 60–70% of its value after 3 years.

7.8/10

"Viajero a prueba de balas que no te pide casi nada."

Recorrí 18.000 km en una YBR125 del 2007 cruzando el tráfico urbano y las carreteras secundarias rurales, y la cosa simplemente se negó a romperse. El carburador necesita limpiarse todos los inviernos y el freno de tambor delantero es realmente preocupante cuando está mojado: se aprende a frenar pronto o se aprende por las malas. Por encima de los 90 km/h, el sencillo empieza a zumbar entre las estacas y se sienten todas las vibraciones en las muñecas, por lo que los tramos en autopista son miserables, pero para los que tienen menos de 80 años es relajado, económico y, curiosamente, satisfactorio conducir con suavidad. El ahorro de combustible es de unos 2,8 L/100 km sin intentarlo, lo que es importante cuando lo utilizas a diario.

Pros

+Motor refrigerado por aire casi indestructible
+Ahorro de combustible excepcional en condiciones reales
+Altura de asiento baja que inspira confianza
+Piezas baratas y ampliamente disponibles
+Manejo tolerante y predecible

Contras

El freno de tambor delantero es débil en condiciones húmedas
Vibración excesiva por encima de 90 km/h
El carburador necesita atención estacional
Sin protección contra el viento a gran velocidad
Lo mejor para: Viajeros urbanos que se preocupan por su presupuesto Omitir si: Circula regularmente por las autopistas

Reseña de un comprador usado

7.5/10
Lo mejor para
New riders wanting cheap, reliable daily transport

"The most dependable commuter £2,000 can realistically buy you."

$1,500-$3,000 used

The YBR125 is about as exciting as watching paint dry, and that's actually its greatest selling point. It starts first kick every morning, sips fuel like it's scared of the pump, and asks almost nothing from you mechanically. Yamaha built something genuinely bulletproof here, and the used market is stuffed with neglected examples that still somehow run perfectly. Buying used, you need to check the chain and sprockets first — owners of these bikes are notoriously lazy about maintenance precisely because the bike forgives everything. Look for oil leaks around the cylinder head and inspect the fork seals. Budget around 300 bucks for a proper service and you'll likely ride it for two years without touching it again. Avoid anything with dodgy electrics or crash damage to the frame. This isn't a bike you'll brag about at the pub. It's transportation with two wheels, and in that role it genuinely excels. Commuters rack up 30,000 miles on these without drama, and resale holds surprisingly well.
