Improved Features and a More Elegant Design
The Yamaha YBR125 2024 maintains the same genetic makeup that has established its reputation on Pakistani roads. The general layout has not changed much, maintaining its timeless elegance and classic appeal. Still, a few minor but significant changes improve the bike’s appearance.

The Yamaha YBR125 2024 features all of the useful and approachable components that have made it a well-liked option for riders. Customers have been expecting a digital instrument cluster, and it is conspicuously missing from the new model. Nonetheless, the YBR125 2024 still has a feature-rich analog instrument panel that offers crucial ride information.
Relentless Efficiency and Fuel Economy
The Yamaha YBR125 2024’s dependable performance and remarkable fuel efficiency are derived from a well-tuned 124cc, 4-stroke, air-cooled SOHC engine. This engine ensures a responsive and smooth ride with 10.3 horsepower and 8.1 pound-feet of torque. A constant mesh 5-speed transmission, which is matched with the engine, offers smooth gear changes and the best possible power delivery in a range of riding situations.

What Could Be Introduced in the New 2024 Model? Customers’ Expectations
When eyeing the features listed earlier, did you notice anything missing that caught your attention? There’s always space for enhancements, so let’s delve into what customers were anticipating for the new YBR 2024 model.
Digital Instrument Cluster
Both the YBR and its “G” model sport analogue instrument clusters. Despite both models now costing over 4.5 lakhs, the demand for a digital instrument cluster wasn’t substantial.
Rear Disc Brake
While the YBR 125 flaunts a single-piston disc brake on the front wheel, its rear wheel retains a drum brake. Many anticipated Yamaha introducing a disc brake for the rear wheel.
Upgraded Air Scoops Design/Shape
The YBR has maintained nearly the same air scoop design since its introduction. Numerous individuals desired a fresh design, not just in terms of stickers but also in the shape itself.

Modified Exhaust
Initially, the YBR boasted a chrome-colored exhaust known for its reduced noise. However, the company later introduced a more localized exhaust with increased sound, following customer demand. Now, there’s a request for a return to the old exhaust with improved quality and reduced noise.
Comfortable Seat
Despite the YBR having a wider seat often associated with comfort, many owners complain about the seat foam’s hardness. Enhancing the cushioning for increased comfort during longer rides was a desired improvement.
Engine Kill Switch
An engine kill switch, available in some other bikes, notably Suzuki’s motorcycles, was a sought-after feature for the relatively high-priced YBR 125.
Dipper Switch (Light High/Low Beam)
The inclusion of a dipper switch was in high demand for the YBR 125, considering other bikes in the same category or price range already possess this feature.
New Alloy Rim Design
After nearly 7-8 years of the same style, people were expecting a fresh alloy rim design for the renowned 125cc YBR bike.
Better Shock Absorbers
Although considered the best in the 125cc category for major bumps and jumps, YBR shocks fall short in handling small jerks, prompting the need for improved shock absorbers.
Modern Carrier
While the YBR possesses a great shape, the carrier rack appears dated to many. Introducing a modern carrier was seen as a way to enhance the overall aesthetics of the YBR.
New Light Design
Expectations for a new light design were high for both models in the new YBR 2024 model release.
DRLs
While a big ask, some YBR enthusiasts strongly desired to see Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) integrated into the Yamaha YBR 125.
Final Words
Offering Pakistani riders a compelling option in the 125cc motorcycle segment, the Yamaha YBR125 2024 is poised to carry on the legacy of its predecessor with its stylish design, enhanced features, proven performance, and impressive fuel efficiency. The bike is a formidable competitor in Pakistan’s cutthroat motorcycle market thanks to its sophisticated looks, useful features, and dependable performance.
