The Appeal
It may have been aimed at new riders, but Yamaha’s peppy RS125 is well named. Accessible and sporty, as those newbies discovered, its nimble handling and decent acceleration were a great introduction to two-wheeled motoring.
Despite so many bikers starting their life on this model, good, original survivors are rare. But they are sought after for the same reason. We expect this one to be popular because it is in such good order.
It is a 1978 model, so one of the last first-phase RS125s with the 123cc engine. Finished in smart silver with black decals and bright chromework, this bike displays just 9,400 miles on its odometer. The MOT history supports the sense of a cherished, collector-quality bike.
