I bet it'd go mean with a turbo on it.

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
Very controversial
maybe but then the bike would be the same cost as a gsxr600....Originally Posted by R6_kid

I found a WR250F with a turbo on it. 100% performance increase, possible to get more out of it too.

I've been waiting for these since 2008!
I had the exact same experience - They look just as good in the flesh as they do on the net
AND I've booked in a testride for review purposes

pah, im not invited, they would have to be drunk to invite me there

I don’t think it'll fear too well at its current price point, they'll have to start dropping it to reel in more people willing to pay that for a 125.
They might sell reasonably well in Britain / Europe where license restrictions mean they are in high demand and there are quite a few 125's to choose from at various price points, but here in NZ the majority of new riders will be looking to get the most bang for their buck in the sub-250cc range. And if they're looking at a brand new little Sports bike its going to be the CBR125 ($4,995) / Hyosung GT250R ($6,995) / Ninja 250 ($7,995)
The YZF-125R at $8995 just seems strange. If it had a 250 twin in it like the Ninja / Hyo and had the same price tag it could have taken off just like they did. But sitting $4,000 higher than the CBR125 (No matter if it has exceptional build quality and all the gadgets) and only just nestling below Aprilia's RS125 ($9,995) - which would no doubt eat it in terms of performance, not to mention a few more poser points with its Italian pedigree - the Yamaha is not sitting a pretty position.
I'll be watching with interest, but expecting to see $8,995 go to $8,495/$8295 - possibly less if they have real trouble moving them.
Then again, these proposed levies could mix up the market completely.
