The TT-R125E's four-stroke aircooled engine has always delivered a wide band of responsive power, making it ideal for an equally wide range of riders.

Now sporting a host of improvements, that range of riders just got wider.

Already a class leading midsized fun bike, the new 2008 model TT-R125E is equipped with new, larger and better damped forks that offer sharper steering, greater comfort and better terrain holding for a more confident and enjoyable riding experience than ever before.

The TT-R's legendary air cooled 4-stroke SOHC mill features new valve springs, cam chain and carb settings, and maintains the convenience of electric starting.

The new sharper, more aggressive plastics, smart new exhaust and new flatter cockpit look very factory YZ and at the same time improve rider mobility for greater control.

The TT-R125E continues to be offered in standard 14in and 17in wheels and Large Wheel (16in and 19in) versions for maximum versatility.
