Pros and Cons in comparison

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Yamaha XSR125 2025

The XSR125 may look retro, but it is highly modern. After all, the 125cc engine even has variable valves! This makes it possible to achieve decent riding dynamics, as the handling is also very successful in combination with the comparatively low weight. Yet operation is generally very simple and uncomplicated, which is why even novice riders and beginners are not overwhelmed. The price is also okay, although at first glance it seems quite high compared to the power, but is usually even higher among the competition. The successful retro look alone is definitely worth wanting the XSR125!
