The YZ125 is famous for its light handling which makes it easier to control and easier to ride. Combined with an ultra-responsive two-stroke engine, the end product is a highly competitive lightweight that’s hard to beat.

Major improvements for 2008 include new fork outer tubes, redesigned fork protectors and a new front axle which reduce weight for lighter steering. Delivering even better braking feel – together with reduced unsprung weight – is a new lightweight front brake caliper and wave-type front and rear discs. And for quicker acceleration the YZ125’s potent two-stroke engine is equipped with a new reed-valve spacer.
