The much awaited Yamaha SS125 has finally made its way into the Indian market. The bike sports a stable 125cc engine and provides the mileage that is in league of 100cc bikes.
The bike is assumed to be a breed between the YBR110 and the FZ16. The engine produces 11bhp, mated to a 5-speed gearbox, the SS125 is a souped up Gladiator.
Yamaha is sure that features and addons such as aerodynamic racy under cowl, tachometer, lowered front cowl, light weight aluminum alloy wheels and front disc brakes will make it a must buy variety. Also, the claimed mileage of 70kmpl seems impressive.
