Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha XSR125 2021

The XSR125 may look retro, but it is highly modern. After all, the 125cc engine even has variable valve timing! This allows for decent riding dynamics, because the handling is also very successful in combination with the comparatively low weight. Nevertheless, the operation is generally very simple and uncomplicated, which is why even novice riders and beginners are not overwhelmed. The price is also acceptable, although at first glance it seems quite high compared to the performance, but it is usually even higher among the competition. The successful retro look alone is worth wanting the XSR125!

In the Scrambler 800 model series, the Nightshift presents itself as a sporty representative for the city and the country road. The engine has enough power and a wonderfully smooth response. The chassis and seating position are comfortable enough to cope with cobblestones, but the saddle is a little too hard. And if you ride too sportily, you will be disillusioned when the braking system demands a lot of power and the standard tyres convey little feeling. However, if you are looking for a cool retro bike with commuter potential and a lot of character, you should definitely consider the new Nightshift!
