presentation of the R 125 70ème anniversaire 2026
Even the youngest Yamaha R is entitled to its 70th anniversary version. Perhaps more legitimately than the others. The image will be even stronger for the beginner, who will be able to develop an attachment to the brand. Above all, this deco revives the memory of one of the most fabulous sports bikes Yam' has ever designed: theYZF-R7.
It was the Superbike machine of the late '90s. 25 years on, it's still as fascinating as ever. Its white and red Speedblock motif covers the R125. Plus a few symbolic details:
- The YZF logo, the family name of Yamaha sports bikes before it was discreetly dropped in the early 2020s
- The calligraphy of the R125, tagged like in the last century
- The brand symbol in gold, as on factory bikes
- A "Yamaha 70th Anniversary" badge on the tank
No special equipment for this specific color, but quite a symbol. It can be found on R3s, R7s, R9s and R1s (outside Europe), and has already been applied to MotoGP M1s, the machine entered in the Suzuka 8 Hour race, and Superbike bikes (at Jerez ) in 2025.
Now that we've got the adrenalin-fueled nostalgia in our eyes, what's next? Start up the variable-valve-timing mono and believe in it. Once you've got the half-guidelines in your hands, the young rider is ready to make the most of the 15 horsepower available. The R125 is a serious machine, with its 41 mm KYB inverted fork, MotoGP-style open-work fork crown, 5-inch color TFT screen and surprising electronics - the optional shifter is fine, but traction control is not..

The driver can also simply dream of the 90's madness without looking for it today, and enjoy a decoration full of memories.
