New Yamaha XSR 125 Unveiled For The Global Markets In 2025
With the release of the 2025 XSR 125, Yamaha has made some significant improvements to the motorbike. The redesigned Yamaha XSR 125 will soon be available for purchase in the UK market, and the contemporary retro motorbike maintains the look that has made it well-liked worldwide.
The motorcycle’s engine is the most significant change; it still uses the same 125cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, but it has been modified to comply with the most recent Euro 5+ standards. With the aid of a 6-speed gearbox, the engine produces 14.8 horsepower and 11.5 Nm of torque. Additionally, Yamaha’s variable valve actuation (VVA) technology is included into the engine.
Additionally, Yamaha has introduced the Legacy Edition, a unique version of the XSR 125 with a paint job influenced by 1970s motorcycles. The new Yamaha XSR 125 has 17-inch wheels, disc brakes on both ends, USD forks, and a monoshock at the back. The Yamaha XSR 155 makes more sense for its India debut, and Yamaha first retreated because of the price-sensitive market. However, given the high demand for this sector in India, Yamaha may soon introduce the XSR 155 to the Indian market, according to a number of recent sources.
The performance section has seen the most improvement. With the same 14.8 horsepower as the previous generation, the 125cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine is now Euro5+ compatible. For improved top-end performance, the XSR 125 also has the well-known variable valve actuation (VVA), much like the previous 125s.
The Japanese firm has introduced the Legacy Edition in addition to the ordinary model. This version sports a new paint job that seems to have been influenced by motorcycles from the 1970s. Compared to the normal version, the gasoline tank’s emblem appears more upscale.
In UK, both bikes will soon be available for purchase. The little price rise that often accompanies engine updates has occurred. Sadly, despite India’s enormous demand, particularly for the XSR 155, the XSR motorcycles are not accessible there. Yamaha India introduced the FZ-X, a motorbike built on the FZ platform, since it thought the XSR 155 was a little pricey for the Indian market. Despite its early success, this bike was unable to draw as many people as the XSR. However, there are rumours that the XSR 155 may be introduced in India within a year or two.
