Positioned in Yamaha's cross - motocross motorcycle lineup, the 2002 Yamaha TT-R 125 LW features a 123.7 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9.8 HP (7.2 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9.9 Nm (7.3 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm. With a specific output of 79.2 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the TT-R 125 LW measures 78 kg (172 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.96 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,270 mm (50 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
