The Yamaha YZ125 is a Motocross racing motorcycle with a two-stroke 124.9cc single-cylinder engine made by Yamaha since 1974. For the first two years it was made with dual rear shocks, then changing to a monoshock. The YZ125 has been ridden to five AMA National Motocross Championships, and multiple AMA Regional Supercross Championships. It was air cooled from 1974 to 1980, and liquid cooled since 1981. It has a Mikuni 38mm TMX series carburettor and produces 35 hp. The YZ125 used a conventional telescopic fork tube through 1988, then in 1989, added the first upside-down fork.

This bike has been offered to us by a very well-known vendor who has imported the bike from South Africa. Being the 1982 ‘J’ model, it was the first year of production with the YPVS, which significantly widened the powerband. It is in very good condition and starts. Three bikes have come from the same place and display the number 82 who is believed to be a famous rider in South Africa but we have been unable to identify the rider.
