Engineered by Yamaha for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2022 Yamaha XTZ125 features a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.2 HP (7.4 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9.9 Nm (7.3 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 82.3 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 XTZ125 measures 118 kg (260 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.57 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 840 mm (33.1 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,300 mm (51.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
