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 a été introduite en 2005 en tant que moto de banlieue d'entrée de gamme abordable et fiable destinée aux marchés en développement en Asie, en Amérique latine et en Europe. Il est devenu l'un des vélos de petite cylindrée les plus vendus de Yamaha au monde en raison de son efficacité énergétique, de ses faibles coûts de maintenance et de sa durabilité. Le modèle a connu des mises à jour au fil des ans, y compris des variantes à injection de carburant et a été largement salué comme une moto idéale pour les débutants et les navetteurs urbains avant d'être progressivement abandonné sur de nombreux marchés au milieu des années 2010.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
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.

"Un navetteur pare-balles qui ne vous demande presque rien."
J'ai parcouru 18 000 km sur une YBR125 2007 à travers la circulation urbaine et les routes secondaires rurales, et l'engin a tout simplement refusé de s'arrêter. Le carburateur doit être nettoyé chaque hiver et le frein à tambour avant est vraiment inquiétant sur sol mouillé : vous apprenez à freiner tôt ou à la dure. Au-delà de 90 km/h, le single commence à bourdonner à travers les piquets et vous ressentez toutes les vibrations de vos poignets. Les trajets sur autoroute sont donc pénibles, mais pour les voitures à moins de 80 ans, c'est détendu, économique et curieusement satisfaisant de rouler en douceur. L'économie de carburant est d'environ 2,8 L/100 km sans essayer, ce qui est important lorsque vous l'utilisez quotidiennement.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"The most dependable commuter £2,000 can realistically buy you."
$1,500-$3,000 usedThe 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.
