2 STROKE ROCKET YAMAHA YZ125 

U can never go wrong with a yz 2 stroke

Definitely the most fun you can have with your pants on.. 52 years old and all I ride is 125's. Along with my big wheel 85s and 100s from time to time but the 125 has always been my passion. Never cared for 4 strokes.

Beauty. Great bike. I've had 3 of em and at 53 i'm looking for #4. So easy to maintain but clean ones are hard to find and used bikes prices are crazy right now.

While I grew up racing the Green Machines I have always had an appreciation for Yamaha and how they build their bikes. What is even more impressive is that they have always catered to the Gearheads when it comes to factory direct aftermarket parts. For example the GYTR 140 Bigbore kit for a YZ 125; heck for a while you could buy the kit with the bike as a package deal. If that isn't forward thinking I do not know what is. I won't take anything away from guys like Eric Gorr because I had a 99 CR 125 with his 134 kit in it that was straight up gnarly as hell. It would hang with stock 250s if you didn't mind pinning it all the time and if they were novice 250 riders you could really hurt some feelings. That being said Yamaha's 140 factory kit with a Pro Circuit exhaust, Tokyo mods carb and a set of V3 reeds would spank the hell out of that Honda all day. If you want an affordable all around good 125 2t MX you'd be hard pressed to do better than a new Yami. Sure the KTM & Huskies are more modernized and come off the floor with all the bells and whistles but you are going to have to dig a bit deeper into your wallet for either of them. Here's the other thing, in a world where thumpers rule the day and the market Yamaha is the sole survivor from Japan that still offers a 2t in more than a 65, 85, or 112 super mini. For a weekend warrior looking to have fun on a budget a YZ 125 is the best bang for your buck on the market today if you are going new. Wish I had some disposable cash because that little blue beast would be making the trip to Indiana in a heart-beat. Whoever ends up with that bike is getting a sweetheart of a machine. Take care fellas and thanks for sharing with us.

I bought a '96 YZ125 on New Year day, in 1000 pieces. To my delight it has an Eric Gorr 144 kit on it. Slowly getting it fully restored.. I just wish I had someone around like The Wizard to tune the carb when I get it up and running! This is beautiful machine as always guys!

Had a 2014 with Vortex CDI, V-force reeds, full Hinson clutch, custom pipe&silencer, engine tuned, suspension set-up, all kinds of goodies. That thing ripped. Honestly think my KTM 380 was easier to ride, because on the YZ, you were constantly busy shifting and trying to keep the front wheel down!

Damn good bikes! Glad Yami is still making two smokers 😎🤘. I'm more of a 250 guy - 02-04 Steelie 😎. But a 99-22 is perfect.

Great looking bike and all intangible uprades just awesome. I couldn't imagine how much money has been put into this bike. It's going to make someone very happy.

Kaplan america you didn't say what year the yz is ?

Hell yeah that's nice I still have my 07 YZ 125 in working progress can't wait till its finished and I can rip it around again.👍🇦🇺

my 98 125 rips. that was the first bike i ever bought and learned to ride on. ive since upgraded to a 22 250f and the plan was sell the old bike but i can’t get myself to post the add. love the 2 stroke too much

The reason us vets love 2 strokes is because we rode them in the 70s. I had a 125 cr Elsinore Honda. Still my favourite bike. You haven't ridden a motorcycle till you ride a 2 stroke with a power band.

Wow 5 videos, One day that is all that it takes to make what was a cold, miserable day awesome for me.

Sure miss the Sweet sounds of the 125 class nice looking bike for Yamaha

I’m 59 yrs old and my riding activities have slowed down quite a bit, but I’ll never get rid of my all original 2017 YZ125, lol!!💪👀🤘🇺🇸

I love that look compared to the re-style kit. RIGHT ON.

I'm leaving for Daytona tomorrow morning, can't wait to watch some supercross!!!

i got a yz125 i built from a frame with tons of trick parts and restyle graphics and i love it. my only question is, is this a 2006 or newer cause if not front forks suck. i got 05 forks on mine and they are getting traded out for kyb SSS

Good morning Ken, so I’m not sure what I should use for the ratio on the gas oil mix for my newc2021 YZ-125 , can you help me out with the? Do I do the traditional 32:1 or is it a different ratio ?

Is there any listing on ebay right now? Everytime I click the link doesn’t show up anything

You should definitely put a #1 on it!!

It looks good to me, other than the chain and sprockets. I understand that aluminum is lighter than steel, and gold looks nice... but I really don't like my drive chain or sprockets to be made out of soft materials that don't hold up as well as the "less flashy" (but definitely longer lasting) options. I really don't see the point in a gold chain... it's going to be covered in oil and dirt will stick to it if the bike gets used, so it ends up looking somewhat the same as a regular chain during use but it is soft metal and not as durable.

Yeah I just bought yz125 2003 an im redoing the whole bike like this one every week I spend 500 hundred on parts il have it done soon it look like that one beautiful bike

Love the yz 125 I have a 97 steal Fram I love the aluminum fram as well they also have one more gear dp to the over heating problem that the older bikes had. If I had the money I would buy a million yz 125 you will always have a great time and the resale value will always be there

What year is it?

What model year is this bike? Thank you!

What year was this bike?

"They'll kill each other for a 10 dollar trophy." lol. Isn't that the truth. Very nice 125 Yamaha. 125's can haul. I seem to recall 125's sometimes making the fastest lap times. I'm always impressed how much you know about these bikes. It would be easy to remember if it was your personal bike, but these are all different and you really know the scoop on each bike you show.

I have been waiting for a 02 plus yz for a long time on the channel

I agree. In my area I’m always on the clutch with a 250. I need to try a 4 stroke out sometime but. 2 stroke is in my blood

Dude your know your shit..that pipe is gorgeous

Love that 2 stroke smell

Sweet ride!!

Hey I want to know where you got the graphics

I think my favourite bike you ever did was that beautiful white and pink 93 YZ250. Could be my dream bike I think 😍

Motocross, enduro, é 10.

Im from roseville california and go to the roseville motersports shop where that bike is from it says it on the radiator shroud can believe he has that all the way out by nyc

I'd lean more towards a 25 as being the best all around bike cuz they are not that much heavier and it's not hard to use all there power and like I said it's a great all around bike from woods and trail to mx tracks all in one day

What a beauty!!!

Which year this Yamaha yz125 ?

Had a 87. Yamaha 125...Great times

I have a 98 one and one of my buddies rode it and crashed and broke his shoulder and 7 ribs didn't hurt the bike one bit

That sound. Enough said.

Hold it to the limiter..can't beat a 125.

125 is magical to ride

Like to see it go up that hill to the spooky house . No bark busters ?

What year is this YZ?

Roseville is pretty close to Hangtown.

Beautiful bike... god bless the world 🙌🙏💚

Is it for sale???

Awesome!

Is this bike sold yet? I'm curious on the exact price but can't find it listed.

Grande KAPLAN

Nice bike always will be

Yes please

Yeah buddy

Can you post a video of a carb cleaning? Pulling off, cleaning and putting back on? Can you post videos of your techs restoring these bikes, like changing tires, sprockets, etc… thanks

Put the 2020 yz plastics on bike will look some much nicer 🔥🔥

That's Awesome!!

125... Surely you need a minimum 250cc to move you about Kaplan! 😄

Ive always sucked at doing wheelies on my 125s lol

Clean 👌

I like the front brake line. All bikes should have it like this instead of the stupid big arc

happy days

Ayeee mx207, right near me.

Sweet piece! I wish 2 strokes would come back! Tired of the sound of the thumpers...Watching Supercross is painful to the ears these days lol!

Did you guys get that from 916 California it says Roseville on the front fender. Roseville CA 🤔 Roseville power sports dealership.

The yz125 is bigger than I thought. (Dimensions wise)

The olive 🫒 drab green grips 👌🏻

All of those 125 2 strokes have own distincion in power😂

Beautiful Lookin Bike.

Got the 01 yz125, tricked out to the nads

I hav cr 250 r for sale 2000 good shape Talon rear hub excel brim decent sticker kit we just have to look to check i

Un mostro 😀

One thing about riding powerful dirt bikes like that sport bikes and choppers these are the true rockets, the rapid amount of acceleration the wind literally thickening because you're practically about to break the speed barrier on two wheels, there's something about gas bikes the electric bikes can never have.....??????? When I finally get my electric motorcycle I'll find out

Clean....just need a wheelie king off youtube to ride it, the ones that touch the ground w their hands....

102. I love it

Nothing on the yz 250 tho

Up until last year, they stayed the exactly the same from 2001 right? If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

👍

GREASY TRIPLE APPROVED.

Ciao Kaplan è un piacere seguirti ,io faccio parte del team scanda, sono Scanda Cross😉😉
