Meet the 2027 Yamaha YZ125X in Team Yamaha Blue—a cross-country, off-road machine that looks fast standing still and feels even faster the moment you swing a leg over its one-piece vinyl seat. Built around a lightweight aluminum frame with durable plastic bodywork, this bike has that purpose-built, race-bred attitude for riders who prefer their fun served with roost and a stopwatch. At the heart of it all is a crisp 125cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 2-stroke with a reed valve setup and Keihin 38mm carburetor—the kind of straightforward, responsive recipe that makes every blip of the throttle feel personal. It runs gas/oil premix and drinks regular fuel, with a kick starter that turns every ride into a small ritual before the trail opens up. The 6-speed manual transmission and chain final drive give you room to keep it singing, whether you’re carving tight woods lines or letting it stretch out across faster sections. Suspension is ready to play hard: a KYB 48mm inverted fork up front with 11.8 inches of travel, plus adjustable preload and rebound damping to help you dial in your feel. Out back, a KYB shock on a twin-sided aluminum swingarm delivers 12.4 inches of travel, also with adjustable spring preload and rebound damping—perfect for finding that sweet spot between traction and control. Rolling stock comes in strong with Excel aluminum wheels (chromed) and tubed Dunlop Geomax MX33 tires—an 80/100-21 front and 110/100-18 rear—paired with confident hydraulic disc brakes (270mm front, 240mm rear) for when the trail suddenly asks for a quick decision. And with 14 inches of ground clearance, a 57.3-inch wheelbase, and a 212 lb wet weight, it stays nimble, composed, and eager to change direction. Practical trail-minded touches—like a brake rotor/caliper guard, chain guard, chassis protectors, and fork guards—help keep the fun going when conditions get rough. If you’re after a lively, hands-on off-road experience wrapped in iconic Team Yamaha Blue, the YZ125X is ready to line up at the start and chase the next corner.
