Three units of the Yamaha MT-125 with ABS have been imported to India from the United Kingdom earlier this month. It is unclear if the motorcycle was imported by India Yamaha Motor or by a competitor for a reason like benchmarking.

The Yamaha MT-125 is powered by a 124.7 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with EFI, SOHC and four-valves, that produces 15.0 PS at 9,000 rpm and 12.4 Nm at 8,000 rpm, and is mated to a six-speed gearbox.

The motorcycle is based on a Steel Deltabox frame, and it features a 41 mm upside-down telescopic fork with 130 mm of travel, a monoshock-equipped link-type rear suspension with 114 mm of travel, a 292 mm dic brake upfront, a 230 mm disc brake at the rear, dual-channel ABS, 100/80-17 M/C front tyre and 130/70-17 M/C rear tyre.
