Explore Yamaha XSR125 & Legacy at GT Motorcycles
POSTED: 22/04/2025
At GT Motorcycles, we’re all about helping riders find the kind of bikes that make you want to grab your lid and hit the road. If you’re new to riding or just after something light and packed with character, Yamaha’s XSR125 and XSR125 Legacy are well worth a look. Classic styling, everyday usability, and unmistakable Yamaha quality,it’s a brilliant blend.
XSR125 - Retro Looks With Everyday Punch
The XSR125 is a proper all-rounder. It delivers a retro-inspired design with the sort of performance that makes daily riding feel like more than just a commute. The 125cc VVA engine is one of the standouts here-smooth, responsive, and ideal whether you’re weaving through town or stretching its legs on an open road.
A 6-speed gearbox keeps things slick, while the lightweight chassis and upside-down forks give the bike confidence through corners. On the style front, it’s got full LED lighting, eye-catching tank graphics, and a stripped-back look that gives it attitude without going over the top. For riders just starting out or looking to add a compact runabout to the garage, the XSR125 brings plenty to the table.
XSR125 Legacy - Vintage Feel With Everyday Comfort
For those drawn to classic bikes with a proper nod to the past, the XSR125 Legacy offers a slightly different vibe. Underneath, it shares the same reliable engine and nimble handling, but the styling takes things up a notch. Think spoked wheels, gold highlights, and a paint job that leans into Yamaha’s retro roots.
It’s every bit as usable in traffic or out on a countryside cruise, but the Legacy makes its mark visually. For riders after something a bit more old-school without giving up modern performance, this one’s a real head-turner.
Which One Suits You Best?
Underneath, both versions of the XSR125 share the same reliable bones - light, fun, and easy to ride. The real difference comes down to looks. The regular XSR125 has more of a bold, modern feel with its cast wheels and graphic touches. The Legacy, on the other hand, goes all-in on its retro influence, pairing vintage touches with that same everyday performance.
Why These 125cc Yamahas Hit the Sweet Spot
Yamaha’s Sport Heritage range isn’t just about looks, it’s about feel. These bikes are for riders who care about the experience, the details, and how a bike fits their personality. Whether you’re fresh on two wheels or just want something light that still delivers a big grin factor, both the XSR125 and the Legacy make a strong case for themselves.
