Take a Look at the Yamaha XSR125 & XSR125 Legacy at JT’s Motorcycles
POSTED: 22/04/2025
At JT’s Motorcycles, we’re all about bikes that give you that “just one more ride” feeling. Whether you’re fresh on the scene or after a lightweight machine with serious personality, Yamaha’s XSR125 and XSR125 Legacy are both solid choices. They combine throwback looks with Yamaha's everyday reliability - exactly what you want in a 125.
Yamaha XSR125 - Retro Looks With a Modern Twist
The XSR125 nails that old-school style without compromising on daily usability. It’s powered by a punchy 125cc VVA engine that’s perfect for everything from city dashes to open-road rides. It’s smooth, lively, and delivers just the right amount of kick to keep things fun.
You get a 6-speed gearbox to keep things fluid, a light chassis for easy handling, and those upside-down forks add a bit of extra poise in the bends. It’s got the looks too - full LED lighting, bold tank detailing, and a minimalist vibe that stands out without trying too hard. Whether you’re after your first ride or something fun to blast around on, this one does the job.
Yamaha XSR125 Legacy - Old-School Charm With Everyday Rideability
Fancy something that leans even more into the retro scene? The XSR125 Legacy is built from the same frame and motor as the standard model, but the styling is straight from the golden days. Spoked wheels, gold trim, and a classy paint finish give it that timeless appeal.
Despite the vintage styling, you’re still getting a bike that’s nimble in town and chilled on weekend escapes. It’s easy to live with and ticks all the boxes for those who want something that turns heads at the café without losing any real-world practicality.
What’s the Difference Between the Two?
Both versions share the same frame, motor and smooth performance - so you’re getting a fun, easy-to-handle ride either way. The choice really comes down to looks. The standard XSR125 carries a more modern attitude with cast wheels and bold graphics. The Legacy turns things back a few decades with wire-spoked wheels and vintage design flair.
Why Yamaha’s 125cc Heritage Range Hits the Mark
These bikes aren’t just about the retro vibe - they’re made for those who want a ride that feels good every time they throw a leg over. The XSR125 and XSR125 Legacy deliver the same reliable ride and comfort Yamaha is known for, just with added personality. Whether you’re new to biking or want something low on weight but big on style, they’re both worth a look.
