Developed for riders who appreciate the unique combination of True Heritage design with a timeless neo-retro look and cutting-edge technology, the Sport Heritage models from Yamaha are truly in a class of their own. All XSR models with their unique character and everlasting charm are not only developed to offer an outstanding driving experience. They also allow the driver to underline their individuality and express their personality. Yamaha's Faster Sons philosophy is inspired by the past, yet strongly future-oriented. It's an approach that resonates with the free spirits among motorcyclists who like to do things their own way. The entire Yard Built scene was inspired and stimulated by the Faster Sons movement. Over the past six years, the most respected customizers from Europe and around the world have built many machines with radical and extraordinary designs. The basis was always a Yamaha Sport Heritage model.
Yamaha XSR125 model year 2021
The current line-up of the Sport Heritage series is led by the flagship XSR900 with its impressive three-cylinder engine. Closely followed by the two-cylinder model XSR700. Now the time has come to introduce a new model that offers a completely new target group access to the Faster Sons world. The XSR125 comes with the same high quality standards that make its two older siblings something very special.
With it, younger drivers or drivers with a B196 driver's license can now also experience the unique driving experience of the XSR models. Thanks to Yamaha's premium build quality and renowned reliability, riders can be sure that this machine will not disappoint.
Completely new XSR125: Commute in style
The XSR125 makes commuting a lot more fun. The latest Faster Sons model is built to the highest standards with state-of-the-art technology and a top engine. The lightweight impresses with its agile handling and timeless heritage style. Like many younger siblings, this bike can set accents and impress.
The retro color scheme, outstanding details and top-notch manufacturing quality from Yamaha make the XSR125 a bike that will attract attention every time you ride. Some other models in this class are more reluctant. The XSR125, however, is the type of motorcycle that makes a strong statement. This is underscored by their performance, technology and style.
Light, agile and fun
Light, agile and built for the pure joy of daily driving. This makes the XSR125 the ideal choice for drivers with a B196 * license looking for an alternative to four wheels, as well as for all motorcyclists who appreciate the outstanding value and impressive features of the XSR125.
Drivers who are completely new to motorcycling will immediately feel at home thanks to the comfortable, upright seating position, the smooth chassis and the simple, easy handling. Experienced and new riders alike will appreciate the lively nature of the latest Yamaha Sport Heritage bike.

Puristic and timeless XSR style
Like all models in the Yamaha Sport Heritage family, the XSR125 has a bold color scheme that is inspired by some of the legendary Yamaha models from bygone days. The colors Redline, Tech Black and Impact Yellow underline the Faster Sons DNA of the XSR125 in combination with features such as the rounded tank, the long, flat seat and the round headlight. And just like the XSR900 and XSR700, the new XSR125 pays homage to the past and at the same time looks to the future with the latest technology such as full LED lighting and an LCD cockpit.
Class-leading 125 cc engine with 11 kW (15 PS)
The heart of the XSR125 is its EU5-compliant, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, four-valve engine with a displacement of 125 cc. It impresses with its direct response behavior and is identical to that of the extremely successful MT-125 and R125 models. This advanced and reliable engine develops a full 11 kW (15 hp), the maximum permitted in the A1 driving license category. This makes this machine one of the most powerful in its class.
One of the most important technological features of the XSR125 is Yamaha's VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) system, which enables the engine to deliver sufficient torque in the lower speed range and to develop its outstanding performance at higher speeds. The result is a motorcycle that is easy and pleasant to drive in city traffic, but is also fun to drive on the motorway. The overall driving experience is rounded off by the wonderfully melodious sound that brings out the strong character of the single-cylinder engine.
The XSR125 is fully EU5 compliant and its low emissions allow driving in city centers, which may be affected by increasingly stringent air quality regulations. This makes this bike an ideal machine for commuting.
37 mm upside-down fork
The XSR125 has a 37 mm upside-down fork for first-class road holding and simple, pleasant and directly responsive handling. With its black finish, which blends seamlessly into the timeless look, this gently appealing telescopic fork is a key factor in the comfort and agile handling that the affordable commuter bike offers in all riding situations. This upside-down fork is an example of the premium specifications of the XSR125, which is nonetheless one of the most cost-effective models in the 125cc quality class.
Stylish tires with a block profile
Yamaha Sport Heritage motorcycles are inspired by the past and built for the future. The tires of the XSR125 emphasize the timeless good looks of the motorcycle with their block profile and at the same time offer excellent grip. The interaction of a wide 140 / 70-17 rear wheel and a 110 / 70-17 front wheel in combination with the 10-spoke light alloy rims ensures a low unsprung weight. This benefits the responsiveness of the chassis and is the basis for safe driving behavior with simple and predictable handling.
High-tech LED headlights and LED taillights
Another example of the first-class equipment of the XSR125 is the modern LED lighting system. The LED headlight sits in a classic round housing and symbolizes the unique mix of classic style and brand new technology that defines this bike, while the compact LED rear light underlines the agility and lightweight construction of the bike.
High-strength and light Deltabox frame
The chassis is based on Yamaha's advanced Deltabox frame design with a double spar that runs in a straight line from the steering head to the swing arm pivot. This makes the chassis extremely robust and at the same time light. With a compact wheelbase of 1330 mm and a comfortable seat height of 810 mm, the chassis of the XSR125 is suitable for drivers of almost any size.
Premium detail
Few other models in this category are so affordable and offer such impressive features. The premium features can be found throughout the motorcycle. In addition to the chassis, LED lighting system and the powerful engine with VVA technology, this lightweight Sport Heritage bike is characterized by a variety of other attractive features: For example the tuck-and-roll seat, painted fenders and aluminum parts that reflect the attention to detail let you see what sets this bike apart from others.
LCD round instrument
Every detail of the XSR125 has been designed in accordance with the Faster Sons philosophy, which fuses timeless design with modern technology. The round LCD instrument is a perfect example of this approach. It sits in a satin black case with a shiny chrome surround. With its inverted LCD display (light on dark background), the cockpit provides clear and easy-to-read information, while it blends in perfectly with the look of the motorcycle.
