Saw them at the GP last year, Verry cute and I think Michelle would possibly consider one as a road bike if they ever import them, am under the impresion for some reason that I can't explain that Yamaha NZ have decided they would be too expensive to sell well here. The R125 is already stupidly expensive here in my opinion.

[Shorty_925]

Found it on a aussie website, $3995 + ORC, so about $5400 which puts it inline price wise with the Honda CBR125. Like you said, R125 is very expensive for what it is, never seen one on the road or in a dealer.

[White trash]

Yup. They'll be released here soon enough and will be far less expensive than the YZF-R125. They're nowhere near as trick as the 125 though.

As for buckets, I wouldn't have thought they'd have qualified being liquid cooled 150s? Maybe wrong as I'm not sure of the rules.

[Henk]

They'd be legal, only limit on 4 strokes is the capacity and no comp engines rule.

You're wrong as you so often are

Two strokes are restricted to 100cc water cooled, four strokes have no restriction

Sweet , thanks for the clarification.

Big price difference between the 125 ($5999 au reduced) and the 150 ( $3999au)

Maybe the 125's were just to dear to get any buyers,

Was trying to post pics and specs of both but I'm not techy enuf

This bike was discussed sometime last year. It has a hideously long stroke and a single overhead cam. Sure the FXR is a commuter bike but this flashy Yamaha takes it to another level as it was built for the Indian Market. If you've ever seen the traffic in India you'll know its not going to be built for speed.
Ill keep my twin cam FXR thanks.

Yeah, all the Indian built bikes are very conscious of being as fuel efficient as possible, but still, would be a great starting project. Hope Yamaha NZ do bring them in at a reasonable price.

I reckon the 125 could be a good project. Uni cam 4 valve. Buy the time you rebore it up to 155 it would be just under square. The only problem would be getting big valves into it. If you could get 24 - 25mm intakes in there It would have real potential.

These now available in NZ,no definately not as trick as the 125 and hardly a race bike out of the crate,but a few mods would see it OK.
The 125 is a bit gutless and was far too expensive for the NZ market.

$4995 - seems a good price.
