NEW YZF-R125, sorry. it's not coming to Asia!
I heard from the Yamaha grapevine that this sweet ass looking bike is NOT coming to Asia. My source is very reputable and trust worthy. If this bike was going to come out, then Say good buy to my Sniper and hello to this baby in my Garage. Same engine as out T135, but shorter bore and stroke set up, and fuel injected. Rooster says it's the same bike as the Vixion. Just fully dressed and more sportier looking.
this bike is out in Europe, here is the link:

My cousin in Brunie said it might be close to $3,500.00 US.
