YZF-R125 Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Edition comes with striking, dual-tone blue and black colour theme, which adds an aura of dominance to the bike. Dual-tone finish looks similar to that of Maverick Viñales and Valentino Rossi’s YZR-M1 MotoGP bikes.
The bike also sports stunning decals, featuring leading brand names such as Monster Energy and ENEOS Performance Motor Oil & Transmission Fluid. These are official sponsors of Yamaha’s factory racing team in MotoGP championships. The bike also comes with Yamalube branding.
