The Yamaha WR125X’s handling matches the engine performance: the suspension is firm yet plush and the rear has preload adjustment. It’s by no means difficult to ride, and anyone over 5ft 8in will have no problems, but new riders and those wanting to put a flat foot to the ground will find its seat high making heavy traffic precarious. Once on the move it’s a doddle, of course. But the strong brakes are a tad sharp and could catch out an inexperienced rider in the wet.

Get on the WR125X and the first thing you'll notice is its sheer physical presence. With a full-sized Supermoto design, it's easy to mistake this for a higher capacity bike.But the surprises don't end there. Twist the throttle and feel the punchy response of a fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, 4-valve, 4-stroke, SOHC single-cylinder engine as it delivers an rpm count that'll have you tearing up city streets and back roads.For great road holding, 41 mm front forks and linkage-type Monocross suspension are combined with a massive 140-section sports rear tyre. And 17 inch front and rear wheels get remarkable stopping power from a 298 mm front disc and 220 mm rear disc.
The Yamaha WR125X’s all-new, single-cylinder, water-cooled motor is the most advanced in the class and is free-revving, zesty and, for a 125, fast – especially compared to rivals. 70mph is achievable and I’m sure it’ll indicate 80mph on a down hill run with a tail wind and a whippet-like Danny Pedrosa for a rider.
