TT-R 125

A motorcycle for off-road riders (and little brother to the 125L) the TT-R 125 has slightly smaller wheels and tires, thus able to fit shorter riders. A powerful, 124cc, 4-stroke powerplant provides a broad powerband for friendly off-road performance in a wide range of trail conditions. The smooth shifting, YZ-type 5-speed transmission with heavy-duty manual clutch is geared for maximum versatility and usable power delivery.

Drum brakes front and rear deliver stopping power, while 17" front and 14" rear wheels inspire rider confidence with quick, predictable steering. The smaller wheels and tires than the 125L also help provide a low, 30.5" seat height. CD ignition, automatic cam chain tensioner and tool-free air filter adds extra convenience and minimizes maintenance, which means you can be out riding instead of wrenching.
