2026 XSR125 Legacy

Heritage style with sport performance

The XSR125 Legacy is a perfect example of how Yamaha’s iconic Sport Heritage bikes are inspired by the past and built for the future. Beautifully crafted aluminium components complement its timelessly styled bodywork – and behind the modern retro exterior this iconic lightweight benefits from Yamaha’s very latest high performance engine and frame technology.

Lightweight spoked wheels with gold rims

The attention to detail on this 125cc Sport Heritage bike is what makes it stand out wherever you go. The classic spoked wheels with gold coloured aluminium rims are inspired by Yamaha’s winning race bikes from the 1970s, giving the XSR125 Legacy a timeless feel and authentic look.

High performance sport tyres

This lightweight 'Faster Sons’ Yamaha is aimed at any rider – beginner, experienced or returning – who is searching for the real spirit of motorcycling. To bring out the bike’s sporting potential it’s equipped with Metzeler Karoo block pattern tyres that ensure high levels of traction for exhilarating performance.

2-piece aluminium muffler cover

Everywhere you look on this beautifully finished motorcycle you’ll see that it’s been put together with close attention to every component. Emitting a deep and powerful sound, the upswept muffler features a stylish 2-piece aluminium cover that underlines the bike’s sporty specification.

Dedicated colours and graphics

The XSR125 Legacy’s tank and side panel graphics are influenced by the designs used on Yamaha’s larger capacity Sport Heritage bikes – and the bike is available in a dedicated Historic Black finish.

Class leading 125cc 11kW engine

Powering this outstanding Sport Heritage bike is one of the most successful designs that is also featured on the MT-125 Hyper Naked and R-125 Supersport. Developing 11kW – the maximum allowed in the A1 license class – this powerful 125cc liquid cooled 4-stroke engine delivers strong acceleration for an exhilarating ride every time.

37mm upside-down front forks

Check out the suspension and you can see that this 125 has the equipment you need for serious sports riding. Featuring black outer tubes that match the finish on the frame and engine, the 37mm upside-down forks ensure precise road holding and excellent bump absorption for a quality ride.

Strong and lightweight Deltabox frame

Light and strong, Yamaha’s Deltabox frame design was originally developed for Yamaha’s Grand Prix race bikes, and so you can be sure that it’s going to give you the highest levels of handling performance wherever you ride.

Stylish LED lighting

The XSR125 Legacy’s high tech LED lighting is another example of how Yamaha’s Sport Heritage bikes blend retro cool with the latest technology. The classic round headlight shell is equipped with a powerful LED light unit for excellent visibility – and a compact LED taillight complements the ultra slim rear end.

Premium details

The naked chassis allows you to see many of the high quality components that underline the XSR125 Legacy’s outstanding specification. From the spoked aluminium wheels and gold rims through to the beautifully finished engine, chassis and painted mudguards, this 125cc Sport Heritage bike combines a high specification with pure looks and timeless style.
