2025 Yamaha R3 and Yamaha R125
Yamaha has officially revealed the 2025 updates for its popular sport motorcycles – the Yamaha R3 and Yamaha R125, introducing significant design and feature upgrades. Both motorcycles are now Euro 5+ compliant, maintaining Yamaha’s commitment to blending performance, style, and environmental responsibility.
Bold New Styling Inspired by the R9
The 2025 Yamaha R3 now sports a brand-new front design, heavily inspired by the recently launched R9. A sharper and more aggressive front fairing is complemented by compact aerodynamic winglets seamlessly integrated at the base, improving both the bike’s aesthetics and aerodynamic efficiency. This restyling strengthens the R3’s identity within Yamaha’s supersport family.
Proven Performance with a New Assist & Slipper Clutch
Underneath the updated bodywork, the mechanical heart of the R3 remains unchanged, retaining the trusted 321cc twin-cylinder engine. The powerplant delivers a lively 42 hp at 10,750 rpm and 29.5 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm, offering impressive yet manageable performance ideal for A2 license holders.
A major new addition for 2025 is the Assist & Slipper (A&S) clutch, enhancing both ride comfort and control during aggressive downshifting. For those seeking even sportier performance, Yamaha now offers an optional uphill electronic gear shift, further refining the R3’s sporty ride experience.
Updates for the Yamaha R125
While the R3 gains the headline updates, the 2025 Yamaha R125 also receives a fresh makeover with the introduction of new color schemes – Icon Blue and Tech Black. These new shades add to the R125’s youthful and dynamic character, ensuring it continues to stand out in the A1 license segment.
Ready for the Next Generation of Riders
With the 2025 R3 and R125, Yamaha continues to build on its storied R-Series legacy, offering thrilling performance, cutting-edge style, and practical upgrades for the next generation of riders. Both models are set to maintain their strong appeal among young enthusiasts seeking a perfect gateway into the world of supersport motorcycles.
