2023 Yamaha XSR125 Legacy First Look [9 Fast Facts; 35 Photos; Video]

There is a fourth member of Yamaha’s neo-retro XSR household—the 2023 Yamaha XSR125 Legacy. It options the identical motor because the MT-125 although there are chassis variations. So, it isn’t merely a styling train. The XSR125 Legacy is its personal bike. Let’s take a better have a look at the so-far Euro-only retro-modern Yamaha.

The VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) motor is restricted to 11 kW of energy. The utmost energy output helps make the 125 Euro 5 compliant and accessible to newbie motorcyclists with a restricted license. The SOHC single produces its most of 14.8 horsepower at 10,000 rpm, so you’ll be able to get pleasure from revving the little motor up as you flit round city.

We see the standard XSR styling cues, with wire-spoked wheels upping the ante. Yamaha steps a bit farther again in time by going with the standard wheels. Additionally, in comparison with the MT, the entrance tire is decrease profile, although they’re 17-inch hoops at each ends.

The XSR125 will get scrambler model Michelin Karoo Avenue tires. Although it is a street-only bike, the Karoo Avenue tires with some off-road functionality.

Yamaha sticks with fashionable styled suspension. The 2023 Yamaha XSR125 Legacy will get an inverted fork—although smaller diameter than the same for on the MT—and linkage single-shock. One old-school attribute of the suspension is its lack of damping adjustability. The body is a contemporary twin-spar design.

We acknowledge the household resemblance to the bigger XSRs. You get a stepped bench seat and a uniquely formed gas tank. Spherical is at all times huge with XSR designers, and the 125 has a spherical headlight, taillight, and speedo. Though they’re spherical, the headlight and taillight are LEDs, and the pace is LCD. Do not miss the triangular metal plates with three spherical holes under the seat—one other XSR signature.

The XSR125 is a part of the world of apps. You’ll be able to take a look at equipment on the free MyGarage app, and hold observe of your rides on the MyRide app. Each can be found for iOS and Android working methods.

Do not miss the steel flake accent stickers on the tank. It is again to the Seventies!
