History and Evolution of the YBR Line
The YBR line was launched in 2000, with a 125 cc 4-stroke engine. The first generation lasted until 2008. The second generation, named Factor, came in 2009 with a sporty look and improvements. The third generation, launched in 2016, introduced the 150 version with electronic fuel injection and continues to be updated annually in the market.
The name YBR comes from Yamaha Brazil, while “Factor” means factor or element. The model is aimed at urban use, with a comfortable riding position and a seat height of 78.5 cm, suitable for shorter and medium-height riders.
Performance, Consumption, and Top Speed
According to real testing, the Yamaha YBR 150 Factor ED can reach up to 135 km/h on flat ground and 146 km/h on the dashboard with a slight incline and momentum. In terms of consumption, the motorcycle can achieve between 35 and 45 km/l, depending on the riding style and type of fuel.
The accelerations are progressive:
- 1st gear: up to 46 km/h
- 2nd gear: up to 70 km/h
- 3rd gear: up to 94 km/h
- 4th gear: up to 104 km/h
- 5th gear: reaches 130+ km/h with favorable wind
Comfort and Urban Handling
The seat is divided into two levels, soft and wide. The riding position is low and narrow, favoring movement in tight spaces. The front suspension is telescopic with 120 mm of travel and the rear features two shock absorbers with five levels of preload adjustment.
The handling of the YBR 150 Factor is light, agile, and suitable for heavy urban traffic. The reduced weight and short wheelbase contribute to maneuverability, especially on inclines, tight turns, and constant stops.
Equipment and Negative Points
The motorcycle stands out for its presence of UBS brakes, complete dashboard, and electronic fuel injection. However, there is a lack of a center stand, absence of a sensor on the side stand, and no USB or 12V outlet. A chronic issue reported in the video on some units is the clutch bell.
The absence of a kill switch on the right handle was also noted as a detail that could be improved for safety and practicality.
Price and Cost-Benefit
In the August 2025 Fipe Table, the Yamaha YBR 150 Factor 2024 ED version used is priced at R$ 14,680. The suggested price of the 0 km on Yamaha’s website is R$ 15,590, which can reach R$ 17,500 in dealerships, including freight and other charges.
Considering consumption, reliability, equipment, and low maintenance, the model remains one of the best urban options in the category, especially for those who ride a lot every day and seek real savings.
The Yamaha YBR 150 Factor 2024 maintains the essence of the brand in the urban segment: a lightweight, durable motorcycle with simple maintenance and attractive design. The advances in the dashboard, aesthetic details, and electronics position it as one of the leaders in the street category up to 160 cc.
