Neo-retro styled Yamaha XSR125 unveiled

The XSR125 is powered by a 125cc engine that makes 15 BHP and 11.5 Nm.

Yamaha has taken the wraps off the XSR125. It is an entry-level motorcycle that will be positioned under the XSR155 in international markets.

The XSR125 shares its underpinnings with the YZF-R125 and MT-125. The bike features a neo-retro look with a circular LED headlamp, a digital instrument cluster and a flat seat. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels that are shod with a 110/70 section tyre at the front and a 140/70 section tyre at the rear.

The XSR125 is powered by a 125cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that delivers 15 BHP @ 10,000 rpm and 11.5 Nm @ 8,000 rpm. The company claims that the variable valve actuation improves the engine's top and low-end grunt.

The bike is equipped with upside-down forks at the front and has a mono-shock at the rear. Braking duties are handled by a 292 mm disc up front and a 220 mm disc at the rear. It comes with ABS as standard.
