Yamaha Motor Pakistan has unveiled the new 125cc Yamaha YBR and it looks nothing short of a mechanical beauty. Yamaha kept YBR’s design sporty as always and brought a few upgrades as well.
The two-wheeler is set to become commuters’ favourite choice in the 125cc range. The company has offered a specs rich bike at a competitive price.
Yamaha bikes are very popular in the rural areas of Pakistan, however, since the YBR model came out it has become increasingly popular in the cities as well.

“The bike now comes with a free flow exhaust, updated carb, new air

Yamaha first started providing low prices sport types bikes and now another compaines also copying their idea for e.g just honda launched honda 150 model in just 162000.
Very minor upgrades, But still something is better then nothing. Keeping price same as before is sane move by Yamaha ??
Personally I like MT-03 though.
£4,999.00 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3bcbbf5cfd99fb4e4c5fd14810fdc22a9b9339f6dc7b6b3a526dbb462649ac44.jpg
Die.
Anyone has used YBR125? Any comments, comparison to CG125?
way better then cg125 , in terms of petrol average , pick and smoothness
How about Service and parts? Can you occasionaly ride with two adults and 2 kids? One issue with 150 is that bottom of bite would hit Speed brakers, and I don’t live in DHA or Behria…
Yes you can find spare parts easily and it does have good ground clearance, space for 2 adults and kids might be little low but you can adjust
OK, thank you for the information.
Its a Sports Bike, so Please consider it Single ride bike.
For multi person seated, chose Yamaha YD 125.
Is there any Bike that comes with Self-Start option?
I saw few Electric Bikes, however the major drawback on those is Batery Life, spending 8k per year just for Batteries make them expensive (it is the amount that I spend on Fuel/Oil Changer per year).
This YD 125 is kick start only, other Yahama 125 bikes have both options, Kick & Self start.
Can you recommend any Bike that has Self-Start and less Sporty?
Those bikes are “non-branded” and its better to stay away.
you can modify the YD125 for self-start option.
What’s the per liter mileage figure for a moderate/decent user who accelerate and brakes the bike decently.
50+ km per liter according to my usage
50+ km per liter according to my usage
