PurposeBuilt primarily as a stylish, retro-inspired commuter and learner bike for city streets rather than outright performance.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light 134 kg weight make it easy to handle for riders of most sizes, including shorter or less experienced ones.
CharacterA fun, nimble little naked bike with retro styling that rewards playful riding at moderate speeds rather than raw thrills.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for highway touring, carrying a passenger over long distances, or riders seeking strong overtaking power.

2023 Yamaha XSR125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2023 Yamaha XSR125, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
