Yamaha XSR125 Officially Unveiled In Europe

Yamaha Europe has officially unveiled the Yamaha XSR125, the smallest model in the neo-retro Yamaha XSR series. With this new model, Yamaha is expanding its 125 cc range, and the XSR125 is based on the same platform as the Yamaha MT-125 and the Yamaha YZF-R125. The small 125 cc roadster will be positioned as a stepping stone into the world of motorcycling for new and inexperienced riders, looking for some retro style. The Yamaha XSR125 has minimalistic bodywork, with a round LED headlight and LED taillight, with a single-piece flat seat.

The Yamaha XSR125 is unlikely to be launched in India

The Yamaha XSR125 seems like the perfect premium 125 cc motorcycle for the Indian market, with the likes of the KTM 125 Duke having created a niche market for itself, and Bajaj now following that up with the new Bajaj Pulsar NS125, offering a more affordable premium 125 cc motorcycle. However, India Yamaha is unlikely to consider launching the new XSR125 in India, primarily because it will prove to be an expensive option in that segment. Instead, Yamaha is working on the FZ-X as well as the XSR250 for the Indian market, two segments where Yamaha is a strong player in the Indian market.
