Yamaha YBR125 Custom

The original Yamaha YBR125 is such a popular motorcycle it's hard to see how it could be improved - yet that's exactly what Yamaha have done, and they've done it in spades!

The new 2008 Yamaha YBR125 Custom gives you all the quality, reliability, and simplicity of the original, in a stunningly shiny new package, creating a brilliant new motorbike with big bucks looks that remains incredibly good value for money.

With enough chrome to cover the Millennium Dome, these motorcycles capture that genuine cruiser cool, with an exquisite teardrop fuel tank adding to the authentic American styling along with gorgeous, deeply valanced fenders front and rear.

The shine starts at the leading edge of these motorbikes, with new nine spoke alloy wheels, and continues across the chromed headlight and indicators, right through to the rear, where even the exhaust heat shield gets a chrome coating, as does the rear carrier with integral grab rail.

Even the riding position has added cool, with a new lower seat position 20mm below the standard YBR. Add in raised handlebars and you can't help but look the part as you cruise along, with your pillion also enjoying custom comfort, thanks to the deeply padded seat.

But there is more to these new motorcycles than meets the eye. Far from flimsy fashion statements, these are remarkably reliable workhorses too. The air-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC 2 valve, forward inclined single cylinder engines will run and run, while the stylish slash-cut muffler ensures you remain well within the EU3 emissions regulations.

There's no doubt you'll find these new Yamaha motorcycles breathtaking to behold, but the best is yet to come - because incredibly, you can dazzle your neighbourhood in chrome plated custom style for under two grand, which should leave you plenty to spare for polish.
