Yamaha Yz125 (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yamaha YZ125 is a 125 cc two-stroke motorcycle designed for motocross riding. The motorcycle is made by Yamaha and is one of their flagship bikes. It was first produced in 1974 (originally titled "YZ125 Monocross") and has continued production with a new model being produced every year to date. The YZ 125's produced from 1996-2002 are considered by some to be the best dirt bikes ever, due to its wide powerband and excellent handling. The YZ 125 has been ridden to 5 AMA National Motocross Championships, and multiple AMA Regional Supercross Championships. In 2001, Yamaha released a bike designed to compete with the YZ125, the four stroke YZ250F. The two bikes share a rolling chassis and are eligible to compete in the same racing class.
