Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal machine for new and learner-permit riders thanks to its tiny displacement, light weight, and gentle power delivery.
PurposeBuilt as a stylish entry-level sportbike for commuting, learning, and having fun on twisty roads rather than chasing outright speed.
Rider FitIts low seat height, light 144 kg mass, and compact dimensions make it easy for smaller or less experienced riders to manage at a stop and in traffic.
CharacterA playful, high-revving single-cylinder sportbike that rewards keeping the throttle pinned and carrying corner speed rather than relying on brute power.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders wanting highway-speed overtakes, long-distance touring comfort, two-up riding, or any off-road use.

2022 Yamaha R125 World GP 60th Anniversary Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 825mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2022 Yamaha R125 World GP 60th Anniversary, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
