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!
Yamaha XSR900 2021

The Yamaha XSR900 is a classic optical illusion - with its round headlight, angular tank and attached tail light, it clearly passes for a retro bike. But it's no coincidence that the performance is reminiscent of the potent mid-range naked bike Yamaha MT-09, which is the extremely sporty basis for the XSR900. So the engine is a blast and the brakes are appropriately venomous. Fortunately, the engineers didn't overdo it with the chassis, the XSR900 offers sufficient comfort and the upright riding position is more comfortable than the powerful engine would lead one to expect. All in all, the XSR900 is one of the sportiest models among the retro bikes.
