OFFICIAL REPORT: In a move that has stunned and excited the motocross community, Yamaha has officially reintroduced the legendary YZ125—a bike that was banned back in 1988 following the tragic death of a top rider. Now, decades later, the YZ125 returns with a refined design, honoring its legacy while incorporating major modern upgrades.

Motocross fans will remember the YZ125’s iconic speed and lightweight agility, but also the dark cloud that led to its removal from competition. However, advancements in safety, suspension, and engine reliability have made it possible to reintroduce the bike responsibly for a new generation of racers.

One of the first to get their hands on the 2025 YZ125 is a former World Champion, who received the bike as part of a special promotional launch. The new YZ125 carries a premium price tag of $25,450, but comes bundled with two free performance upgrades—including a factory racing exhaust and advanced ECU tuning kit.

Meanwhile, grassroots riders have already started to bring older YZ125 models back to life. One fan, who has been budget-restoring a pre-ban YZ125, reports that the rebuild is nearly complete. “It just needs some final jetting tweaks,” they shared. “It’s been a passion project, and seeing Yamaha bring this bike back means everything.”

This rebirth of the YZ125 is more than just a model launch—it’s a celebration of motocross history, redemption, and evolution. Whether you’re chasing championships or rebuilding a dream, the YZ125 stands as a symbol of speed, resilience, and timeless design.
