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.
De Yamaha YBR125 werd in 2005 geïntroduceerd als een betaalbare, betrouwbare instapmotorfiets voor woon-werkverkeer, gericht op opkomende markten in Azië, Latijns-Amerika en Europa. Het werd wereldwijd een van Yamaha's best verkochte fietsen met een kleine cilinderinhoud vanwege het lage brandstofverbruik, de lage onderhoudskosten en de duurzaamheid. Het model werd in de loop der jaren geüpdatet, waaronder varianten met brandstofinjectie, en werd alom geprezen als een ideale motorfiets voor beginners en stadsgebruik, voordat het halverwege de jaren 2010 op veel markten werd uitgefaseerd.

Wat kopers moeten weten
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.
Generaties en specificaties per jaar
Originele luchtgekoelde SOHC 124cc eencilinder, carburateur, klassieke styling, standaard trommel-/schijfremmen geïntroduceerd.
"Kogelvrije pendelaar die bijna niets van je vraagt."
Ik heb 18.000 km gereden op een YBR125 uit 2007 over stadsverkeer en landelijke B-wegen, en het ding weigerde gewoon kapot te gaan. De carburateur moet elke winter worden schoongemaakt en de trommelrem aan de voorkant is echt zorgwekkend als het nat is — je leert vroeg remmen of je leert op de harde manier. Boven de 90 km/u begint de single door de haringen te zoemen en voel je elke trilling in je polsen, dus stints op de snelweg zijn ellendig, maar voor iedereen onder de 80 is het ontspannen, zuinig en vreemd genoeg bevredigend om soepel te rijden. Het brandstofverbruik ligt rond de 2,8 l/100 km zonder te proberen, wat belangrijk is wanneer u dit ding dagelijks gebruikt.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"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.
