Neither bike is made any more, so both figures are last official prices rather than what you would pay today. Official price as of 1 July 2025. Prices change often; confirm with the dealer.

Our verdict

Yamaha's last official prices (July 2025) were Rs 471,500 for the YBR 125 and Rs 490,500 for the YBR 125G (Matt Rs 493,500). Both share the 124cc SOHC engine, 5-speed gearbox, self-start, front disc and 13-litre tank.

The G has block-pattern 3.00-18 front and 90/90-18 rear tyres, a 785 mm seat (vs 775 mm), a 1,295 mm wheelbase (vs 1,285 mm), fork boots and adjustable rear suspension. The YBR 125 has road tyres and street styling.

Both are now out of production. Choose the G for rough or mixed roads and the standard YBR for city riding; on the used market, condition matters more than the model.

Specs side by side

A value is marked only where better is clear-cut — a lower price, more cc, a bigger tank, more claimed km/l, more ground clearance, a higher rating, disc over drum, self start over kick — and only when the gap is big enough for a rider to notice. Differences too small to feel, like a cc or two or a tenth of a rating point, are left unmarked. “—” means the figure is not published.
