g-funk Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 hello everyone, just joined the forum. looks like a good active forum here wit some friendly people. Right here we go, im currently only on a cbt license and so obviously can only ride a 125 and I've been tryin to find out about the yzf r125 thats coming out soon, my main concern is whether it would be too small as i am 6' 3/ 6'4. also does anybody know any speed figures etc about it? and can it be derestricted for after ive passed my test or is the max power available the 15 hp it comes as? hope someone out there can give some answers, cheers.

Guest FZ6 GEOFF S2 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I sat on one last nite and only just touched the floor. (i am 6ft1"). The dealer has been on a track day on one and he said it was still pulling at 75mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mckenzie Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 The yzfr125 is a 4 stroke, the only way you will get more power is to open up the ports and get a good exhaust, im sure something could be done with the fuel injection aswell but I wouldnt know because I havent owned 1 but your probably talking alot of money to do this kind of work. 75 mph for a 125 is great, my dt does 85 and its only putting out around 16 horse, ive geared it for top speed though. If it was me i'd just sling a tzr engine into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Hiya buddy I got my yzf r125 about 2 months ago, Im 6ft 3" and i fit the bike perfectly the bike has been designed with the taller person in mind. I did the plymouth Mega ride on it and managed to get 77 out of it. There is restriction in the exaust (catylic converters) im thinking about getting a micron exaust on mine wich gives me an extra 2.5bhp. not sure deristricting it would do much. dunno. Anyway its a top bike so go get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatBoy Biker Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Rirte boys and girls iv had a reply; IF IT IS A 4-STROKE WE CAN DO IT. For the silencer and a tailpipe it would be £149. The pipes coming off the cylinder head we can do but need to see the bike or a picture to quote. Definitely need to see the bike to quote on the air filter/air box.
