I don't think you have to be starting out to get a bike like this. I'm 44 years old and I have been riding a big bike for the last 15 years but I'm seriously considering replacing it with something like this. I don't ride for maximum speed and besides it's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike with nowhere to use what it's capable of (i.e. on public roads). I like the idea that this is something I could use to its fullest on a daily basis and on top it would be more economical and a little more simple to live with than a bigger bike. For those reasons I'm leaning towards the conclusion that less could very well be more for me.
you give very valid reasons that make total sense, daily riding through town or the countryside is perfect and will keep up with traffic, and considering it will hit the motorway speed limit of 70 mph along with the incredible running cost of cheaper insurance being a 125, and the amazing mpg, whats the point in riding bigger bikes ? to use one to its potential YOU HAVE TO BREAK THE LAW so whats the point ? simply to brag that you ride a 600cc or more, yes but this 125 can legally do everything the same while saving alot of money in the process.no brainer. and this yamaha doesnt look silly it still looks like a big bike.
Well done on stepping outside your zone on this one. Helps knit the custom bike world fabric between us big cube oldies and the newbies who aren't yet licenced or have the cash for or even want big heavy bikes. Getting more females involved can only do good things too! 👍🤟😀
I believe that you gals helped me make up my mind. My driveway, in the mountains of NC (that I share with others) is .25 mile long and is so bad I've have to haul my 03 soft tail standard out to ride. The driveway is so bad at this point that I can't even haul it out. At 66 and 3 heart attacks and 2 strokes later I still like to ride. I need a lighter bike. You gals helped me make up my mind. THANKS William Yelton
Cool looking 125 bikes 😎🏍️👍. Reminds me of 250 / 350 2 stroke classic bike looks. I like the race kit option & yes good to know what gear your in. Fun to ride with the girls.
So great to see woman riding motorcycles and truly enjoying themselves..Love hearing a Ladies perspective on this very cool retro bike..Yamaha really hit the mark with that classic 70’s looking yellow scheme..Look fwd to more of you ladies..Stay safe riding and keep broadcasting the joys of riding to other females
I just picked up a new one of these to go along with me CBR500R. Honestly a great bit of fun. I love how you can buy bits to make it your own. I love classic looking moderns.
''Man that bike is gorgeous!! Stunning! I love that cute little radiator... Im in Italy here, I ride a 650cc Bobber Custom, but its really too heavy for these windy mountain roads.. that would be perfect here. love from Italy.
If one lived in the suburbs, and in a city, just desiring for inexpensive (cost and sipping the gas), good looking transportation, this could be their bike. Seriously good looking bike.
I love it 😍😍😍. Especially when group of girls make review. This is really rare and fun 💕 oh God this bike look fun but I wanna wait for Honda monkey come to Malaysia. If not coming I will buy this
In India there is a still a craze for 1980s Yamaha RX 100 and RX 135. The main thing people like about those bikes was it's engine refinement, used to reach over 100kmph. Sadly Indian Government stopped it's production in 2002 due to breach of emission norms.
good review , after you have done some mods to the look , in other markets this machine is 155cc and 19bhp .......so room for performance upgrades using yamaha parts ....
@@mecojoni9984 i do but better to upgrade your machine with original fitment parts from other models ? unless these motors arnt actually yamaha made , im not sure .
Lovely selection of 125 Beautiful motorcycle.You looked very nice on the motorcycle.i love to own a motorcycle and visit foreign countries and meet with you with the help of good people's blessings
We need more light bikes in the US. I bought the Kawasaki KLX300SM for the 300lb weight and fun ride. The grom and z125 are not proper bikes IMO, but this little Yamaha looks like a proper bike.
@@tomboyabit , the problem with many of these low power bikes is the they are not light when you compare power to weight ratios. The manufacturers tend to use the least expensive materials which keep the weight up.
I like the new old school style of the new 125cc bikes. For me the Grom 3rd generation. They should not give a picture of something what it can't be, like the supersport bikes 125cc.
Not sure I'd want to spend as much on a learner bike. Is it worth it over the Aquila or Hoodlum? Looks a bit smaller than these two also. I guess if u were gonna commute on this would be worth spending the extra £££.
Wow, What a "Coincidence" I have a top just like that & it looks as good on me as it does on you, & that's not easy to pull off when you're a 58 year old fat bloke that's had 2 kids & an amazing granddaughter. Excellent stuff girl, keep it going. Pretty fast for a tiny bike. We (my Princess & I) built her a stunt bike with a modified 125cc & she loves it, but she's 10.
It’s actually not my top! Hahaha I messed my white tee eating breakfast and chatting. Luckily Kate had a spare top and saved my day! So you have a matching tops with Kate, not me. 😂 Say hi to your princess 👊 She’s is so cool! Stunt bike at 10! Hell yeah!
@@tomboyabit We should all get them, Simon, too, & go on that road trip. You are right, she is in fact, beyond "Awesome" & I have her all week next week & we have A GSX750F to re-build, but I have no doubt in my mind that "Princess Granddad" will appear at some point, with full make-up & Tiara. Have fun, stay safe.
Have you been drinking? Great fun, think this is the perfect starter bike if you can justify the extra. Though cost of ownership wont be that much more if you need to keep it few years till your 24.
am looking into this bike so i got some questions, first off all on other sites and platforms pple say this bike rides 140km/h flat so not downhill flat is this true, second is this bike really worth that amount of money ,cause the prize is quit high and third can this bike handle a second person without getting affected it by it allot? doe sit still got enough power for 2 to cruise around without stalling or needing to go to high rpm?
the accents on these chicks, whoah what i wanna know though, can this class of bike cruise comfortably @ 60 on a NSR b or a roads? or will it harm the engine, cheers
Looks like baby XV950😀 Here in the USA they call the XV950 the Star Bolt, Star is their line of cruisers. Neat looking little motorbike perfect for around towns and villages and maybe in downtown big cities but I prefer the country lanes myself. At least I don't get stuck with an L plate on it😆
Why the not launching in India Yamaha xsr155 bike and Indian customer waiting for this bike and Yamaha company bad decision not launching in Indian Yamaha xsr155 bike

I've had a Yamaha XSR 125 for a week- done 169 miles so still running in --so have to stay around 5000 rpm its a real pain changing down all the time to keep revs up -- the engine noise is awful- rear suspension non exist-- brakes were bad until I scuffed the Discs up a little-- mirror stem came loose and tool bag under the seat had no 17mm spanner only a plug spanner and screwdriver-- the seat is like iron not as comfy as it looks-- didn't get chance for a test ride -- sort supplies mean no demonstrator -- I watched all these so called unbiased reviews--not the great motorcycle they make out for us to believe --would I buy again-- NO !!!

The bike looks great, perfect for the market at the moment and seems to tick the box for most new riders

Gorgeous little machine. Am I the only one that thinks that larger displacement Yamahas of that type don't look that cool?
If they xsr900gp comes out how it's been teased, that will be the best looking bike they've made 🤤
was at the dealer and had all 3 xsr variants in front of me and ironically irl the 125 kinda looks the best

Yeah it looks a cracking bike, all you need really for buzzing about in style, and 3 gorgeous girls as a bonus on the review.
What really sells it for me is the sound of that Yamaha crossplane single.
🤣
I've been looking for the perfect bike. I think I just found it. It has that dirt bike/ cafe racer/ scrambler thing going on. I love it.
The bikes look like triplets 😂- the girls are twins 😮 lovely video!
I wish that it would reach Canada. What a gorgeous bike.
Just bought the legacy black/gold version. It's the best looking 125 i've ever seen
In Thailand, the 155cc engine has a variable valve system. Engine power 14.3 kW It's a very good motorbike.
MT15 engine for xsr155
MT125 engine for xsr125
Both have vva tech i think
If one lived in the suburbs, and in a city, just desiring for inexpensive (cost and sipping the gas), good looking transportation, this could be their bike. Seriously good looking bike.
That was my thinking. Living in London is look more further! Truly.
I hate yellow bikes and cars, but on this one it’s the only colour for me!
My classic bike broke so I’ll be visiting my dealer.
I love it 😍😍😍. Especially when group of girls make review. This is really rare and fun 💕 oh God this bike look fun but I wanna wait for Honda monkey come to Malaysia. If not coming I will buy this
i ride xsr 155! same engine at mt15 and r15 , so i dont need to worry about parts...
I would have loved one of these when I was 17, looks proper 👌
Jeez if I had that when I was 17 I’ve never turned 18 😅
i am 40and i want one ...175cm and 70 kg then is perfect reliable bike my opinion .
I will get it for my 16 birthday here in italy :) i cant wait
Oh Waw what a gift!!! 🙌
It make me smile and I felt happy for you. I remembered the excitement when I got my first bike.
Ahhhh so that’s where my starter motor went!🤣 Seriously though, great little starter bike or a ripper commuter.👍🏼😎🇦🇺
The legacy version of this bike is absolutely beautiful I want one so badly lol

Thank you Peter! I hope we will do that trip!!
At first I thought it was a remake of a RD 250 LC. Anyway cool looking bike.
That is why this bike will sell well. It reminds us of the old RD's and the nostalgia trip is the way to go when you wanna sell bikes in the 2020s
In my country its called xsr 155, we have 155cc version

Too bad that the kingdom doesn’t come with the bike. I like the countrieside roads, looks and feel ;)
Roads are lovely here, but even better in France, or Switzerland or Italy! Minus miserable drivers and weather ;)
