North America's wide-open spaces are the perfect playground for off-road motorcycles, and the importance of this leisure-orientated sector has long been recognised by European and Japanese manufacturers. Yamaha began contesting this market in the 1960s, offering a range of single-cylinder two-stroke trail bikes and purpose-built moto-crossers as well as twin-cylinder 'street scramblers'.

Introduced in 1999 Yamaha's TW125 featured a single cylinder four stroke engine derived from the earlier SR125. With a claimed output of 11hp at 12,000 RPM the TW appealed to novice riders but was equally suited to a wet beach with its balloon tyres. Stopping power was delivered via a single front disc and an expanding drum brake to the rear. Weighing in at around 118kg, it was light and nimble enough and its dual seat, rear footpegs and optional luggage rack made for a practical and functional everyday mount.

Purchased by the vendors late father in 2012, he was advised this 13,190 mile example was predominantly used for local commuting and the occasional weekend green lane session with friends. Unused since acquisition and last MoT'd in August 2009, the late owner's son, a professional mechanic decided to recommission the TW earlier this year including the fitting of a new rear tyre, sprocket and chain as well as overhauling the front brake calliper and fitting new brake pads.

Offered with V5C Registration Certificate, key and MOT history print out, the vendor advises the machine will have a fresh MOT prior to the sale.
