The Yamaha WR 125R is the most versatile 125 rider we have ridden recently. It masters city and off-road with flying colours, but you have to know its limits on the country road. The VVA engine surprises with grunt at low revs and revviness at high rpms. For 4,990 francs, you get a Japanese bike with real substance. If you are looking for an A1 enduro bike that can do more than just get from A to B, this is the bike for you.

VVA engine with strong acceleration

outstanding off-road performance

attractive price

agile handling

fuel consumption of only 2.3 to 2.5 litres per 100 km

Brakes not very transparent on the road

no rear brakes

no traction control

handlebars too narrow for ambitious off-road riding

limited stability on country roads at high speeds
