Yamaha Ray ZR 125 specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
Engine and performance
Power comes from a 125cc single producing 8.04 bhp and 10.3 Nm, paired with a V belt automatic automatic. At 99 kg the power-to-weight figure is 81 bhp per tonne, which ranks 7 of 25 in its class here.
Torque is high relative to peak power, which is what you want for pulling away with a pillion and riding a gear higher in traffic rather than chasing the redline.

Dimensions in practice
The Ray ZR 125 weighs 99 kg with fluids, has an 785 mm seat, 145 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1280 mm wheelbase. Clearance is on the low side; take tall speed breakers at an angle with a pillion.
The fuel tank holds 5.2 litres, good for about 250 km between fills in real-world riding.
Tyres are 90/90-12 front and 110/90-10 rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
Lighting
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
Convenience
Idle start-stop
Engine switches off at signals and restarts on throttle. Worth 3–5% mileage in city traffic.
Under-seat storage
Whether a full-face helmet fits is the question to ask at the showroom.
