Yamaha XSR125 & XSR125 Legacy - Retro Looks, Everyday Thrills
POSTED: 22/04/2025
Here at Bransons Motorcycles, we’re all about helping you find a ride that fits your style, whether you’re just getting into biking or want a fun, character-packed machine for daily rides. That’s why we’re excited to showcase two standout 125cc models from Yamaha’s Sport Heritage family, the XSR125 and the XSR125 Legacy. Both carry that unmistakable vintage flavour, but each brings its own twist to the table.
Yamaha XSR125 - Clean, Classic, and Ready for Anything
The Yamaha XSR125 brings together retro touches and modern performance in a way that just works. Powered by Yamaha’s proven 125cc VVA engine, it delivers a smooth, punchy ride that’s just as comfortable nipping through town as it is stretching its legs on the open road.
You’ll get a responsive 6-speed gearbox, upside-down forks and a tidy chassis that gives you confidence from the get-go. Yamaha have gone bold with the styling too, chunky graphics, throwback bodywork and full LED lighting give it a real presence, without going over the top. It’s the perfect match for new riders or anyone after a nimble, stylish machine that still packs a punch.
XSR125 Legacy - Vintage Vibes with Everyday Usability
Prefer your ride with a stronger nod to the past? The XSR125 Legacy keeps the same trusted engine and lightweight feel but turns up the retro styling. Think spoked wheels, a rich gold finish on the details and a colour scheme that brings old-school cool back in a big way.
It still delivers the same level of fun and agility, but with a more traditional look that stands out in a sea of modern machines. Whether you’re weaving through the city or taking the scenic route home, the Legacy version looks right at home, wherever you are.
How Do the XSR125 and XSR125 Legacy Compare?
Both models are cut from the same cloth when it comes to performance, that reliable 125cc VVA engine, the lightweight frame, and a riding position that’s friendly for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned riders alike. The big difference? It’s all in the style. The XSR125 goes for a bold, modern-retro mix with cast wheels and updated paintwork, while the Legacy leans fully into its heritage look with traditional detailing and spoked rims.
