XSR125 Yamaha & XSR125 Legacy - Built to Ride
POSTED: 22/04/2025
At Alpha Motorcycles, we’re proud to bring you two unique 125cc machines from Yamaha that channel heritage styling in very different ways. The XSR125 Yamaha and the XSR125 Legacy each deliver their own spin on the retro look, while offering lightweight handling and everyday fun for new riders and city cruisers alike. Whether it’s stripped-back simplicity or authentic vintage detailing that gets your throttle hand twitching, both of these 125 Yamaha models have something special to offer.
XSR125 Yamaha - Built for Real Riders
The XSR125 Yamaha hits the sweet spot for riders who want a lightweight, sharp-handling 125 with a modern twist on retro design. It’s powered by Yamaha’s proven 125cc VVA engine, delivering a smooth and responsive ride whether you’re weaving through traffic or heading out for a weekend blast.
With upside-down forks, a slick 6-speed gearbox and a compact chassis, it’s a bike that feels confident and capable from the off. Add in bold graphics, heritage-inspired bodywork and a clean LED lighting setup, and you’ve got a machine that’s bang on the money for style and substance. Perfect for new riders who want a bike that feels like more than just a first step.
XSR125 Legacy - Old-School Cool with a Fresh Feel
If your style leans more retro, the XSR125 Legacy turns things up another notch. Still packing the same lively 125cc engine and rider-friendly handling, this one leans into vintage looks with spoked wheels, gold detailing and a classic colour scheme that harks back to iconic bikes of the past.
It’s the same solid ride underneath - light, agile, fun - but the Legacy version is for those who want to ride something that looks and feels timeless. Whether you’re heading through town or out on the back roads, this bike looks just right from every angle.
XSR125 vs XSR125 Legacy - What’s the Difference?
Both versions share the same heart - that smooth 125 Yamaha engine, capable chassis and Sport Heritage design. The difference is in the styling. The XSR125 comes with modern wheels and a more contemporary paint job, while the Legacy brings in spoked wheels, heritage colours and retro detailing. Whichever you choose, you’re getting a machine that rides as good as it looks.
