The Yamaha YBR 125G has earned a solid reputation in Pakistan’s motorcycle market, particularly among adventure seekers and off-road enthusiasts.

With its blend of rugged styling, dependable performance, and practical features, this bike continues to stand out as a reliable companion for both city commuting and challenging terrains. 

Design and Styling 

One of the YBR 125G’s strongest appeals lies in its bold and muscular design. The high front fender, sharp aerodynamic lines, and aggressive stance give the bike a sporty presence.

The raised tail, cast wheels, and ergonomic seat not only add to the premium look but also enhance comfort for longer rides. Offered in three attractive color options—Metallic Black, Matt Orange, and Matt Dark Grey—the motorcycle appeals to riders looking for both style and performance. 

Engine and Performance 

Under the hood, the YBR 125G features a 124cc, 4-stroke, air-cooled SOHC engine paired with a 5-speed constant mesh transmission.

With electric and kick-start options, the bike is easy to operate in all conditions. Its 13-liter fuel tank and impressive fuel efficiency of around 60 km/l make it a cost-effective option for daily commuting while still being capable of long-distance touring. 

The suspension system, comprising telescopic front forks with oil dampers and a rear swing-arm with coil springs, provides stability and control over rough roads. Braking performance is handled by a front disc and rear drum setup, ensuring safety on diverse terrains. 

Dimensions and Comfort 

Measuring 1990 mm in length with a seat height of 785 mm and a dry weight of 113 kg, the YBR 125G strikes a balance between comfort and maneuverability. The 145 mm ground clearance makes it particularly suitable for bumpy or off-road tracks, while its ergonomic seating ensures rider comfort on extended journeys.
