The Yamaha TDR 125 was a travel enduro motorcycle made by Yamaha since the end of the 1980s and was the little sister of the Yamaha TDM. The bike was powered by a 125cc two-stroke made by Minarelli.
The bike was based on the larger displacement motorcycles manufactured by Yamaha with a 1980s design and a characteristic look provided by the two round headlights. The bike was available with various accessories supplied by many suppliers, including other chain sprockets, exhaust systems, an intake membrane, and more.
In 1993, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha TDR 125R, a speedy accelerating motorcycle without top high-end power. It was a simple machine with a very powerful engine for its size.
In the visual department, the bike had standard features, such as a half fairing, two round headlights on the front, a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, and lightweight three-spoke aluminum wheels.
The bike packed a telescopic fork, a 320 mm brake disc on the front, and a preload-adjustable shock absorber with a 210 mm brake disc on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and stopping power.
As for the power figures, the 1993 Yamaha TDR 125R had installed a 124cc two-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering 15 hp with a peak force at 9,500 rpm and 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) torque at 9,500 rpm.
