The Yamaha DT 125 was a dual-purpose enduro motorcycle that debuted in 1874 and continued production until 2008. The bike was first released in 1974 as the DT 125A and ran through 2008. It was last seen as the DT 125H in the American market in 1981.
In 2000, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha DT 125R, which ran on both paved and unpaved roads. It came with the same package as the previous model without significant modifications.
As for the standard features, the bike packed a square headlight integrated into a small front cowl acting like a small wind deflector, a plastic front fender, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a small luggage rack, a raised exhaust system, a side stand, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.
Suspension-wise, the bike packed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front with 170 mm of wheel travel and a Mono-Cross shock absorber on the rear with 200 mm of travel, offering excellent handling capabilities.
The braking performance was achieved by a 230 mm brake disc on the front and a 220 mm brake disc on the rear, both engaged by hydraulic calipers.
As for the power figures, the 2000 Yamaha DT 125R had its heartbeat set by a 123cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 15 hp at 7,000 rpm and 16 Nm (12 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.
