Hello

I am new to biking. I am Considering of buying my first bike. I am interested in the yamaha ybr125. I live in Europe. But I have heard that this bike is made in china. Is it true?

Thanks

Yes, but it's made to Yamaha quality standards. The other main alternative, the CBF125, is made in India and while it's a more modern design, it seems to have patchy build quality and some common problems.

I don't think there are any 125cc bikes that are still made in Japan. If you want something new, you'll have have to take your choice of Chinese, Indian, Korean or Thai bikes.

what about the yamaha wr125x? Is it made in china? And the ybr125 is it reliable? like cheap plastics, mirror, paint, levers etc..

My local dealer have only the ybr125 not even the ybr250. I think the ybr250 is a better bike but the ybr125 will be great for me. I like the looks of it very much. The thing that is made in china is worrying me. They are suppose to have fuel injection on bikes 2012?

"Yes, but it's made to Yamaha quality standards."

It has been explained that the ybr is made to high quality standards. Why are you still worried about the fact it's built in China? If you are not prepared to take on board the advice that you are given you might as well not bother asking in the first place.

Thanks for your advice. You're right. I don't care where it's made as long it's built with quality parts.
