presentation of the XSR 125 Legacy 2026
Since the neo-retro craze took hold of the market, many manufacturers have adapted it to their own taste. With family names as crisp as brownies. Nine-T, Bonneville, Scrambler, Hipster, Bobber, Rider, exterminabeur, Jean Bombeur, etc..
At Yamaha, we've given the job to the XSRs. In multiple displacements to suit all tastes. The most crwe is the 125, now available in a Legacy version. With a little more cream around the edges.
The XSR 125 Legacy begins its history with its specific "Historic Black" color: black in high doses, with silver and gold emanations on the tank and side covers. Sober, classy, more brandy than dandy - with a hint of provocation from the exhaust system, which is invariably black on XSR models, and covered with a satin-finish aluminum plate on the Legacy.
Let's leave that detail aside, and move on to THE difference between this young petrolhead and the others. It's the only model in its family to feature spoked wheels. Its gold finish is reminiscent of the 500 XT or certain competition bikes from the 60s and 70s. More recently, the Kawa W 800 SE, Mash X-Ride, Scrambler Desert Sled... Don't get me wrong, the effect is enhanced by an all-weather sheen also provided by Metzeler Karoo block tires.
There aren't many new-style-vintage-old-school Japanese cars with this type of rim. The XSR Legacy takes advantage of this to stand out from the crowd. Just like its engine. The single-cylinder Yamaha engine is the only one of its size to feature variable valve timing. Like its direct rivals, it produces a maximum of 15 hp, but offers more torque at mid-range.
The XSR 125, Legacy or not, is presented as follows: liquid-cooled 4-stroke, 4-valve single, steel Deltabox frame, 37 mm inverted fork, one disc brake per wheel, some 140 kilos on the scales, LED headlights and a digital speedometer as round as the headlights. Always old-school power. And above all, a totally charming look
The Yamaha XSR 125 Legacy costs a few hundred euros more than the standard model.
