YAMAHADT 125RE 1998 - 2000

　　In 1998, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha DT 125RE, a dual-purpose enduro motorcycle that ran smoothly on paved roads and off-road trails. The bike debuted in 1974 as the DT 125A and continued production until 2008 with numerous modifications and upgrades.

　　Aesthetically, the 1998 DT 125RE was similar in design to previous models, packing standard features, such as a rectangular headlight integrated into a small front cowl, a high-mounted front fender, a one-piece dual seat with pillion grab rails, a small luggage rack, a raised exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.

　　Over its production period, the DT 125 received numerous modifications and upgrades, almost each receiving a new designation.

　　Suspension-wise, the bike packed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front with 170 mm wheel travel and a Mono-Cross shock absorber on the rear with 200 mm of travel, providing excellent handling capabilities.

　　As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with a 230 mm disc on the front and a 220 mm disc on the rear, both coupled to hydraulic calipers.

　　In the performance department, the 1998 Yamaha DT 125RE had its soul brought to life by a 123cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine managed by a Mikuni carburetor, delivering an output power of 15 hp with a peak force at 7,000 rpm and 16 Nm (12 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.
