Introduction to Yamaha’s Latest Updates

Yamaha has officially announced exciting updates to their YSR125 family, introducing subtle enhancements that appeal to both new riders and enthusiasts alike. The updates focus on the retro-styled XSR125 and the capable Tricity 300, ensuring they deliver modern performance while embracing classic design elements.

XSR125: A Blend of Classic and Performance

The updated XSR125 lineup, priced at £4951 for the standard model and £5351 for the Legacy variant, now features a single-cylinder engine that meets Euro5 compliance. This engine produces an impressive 14.8bhp, ensuring it adheres to the A1 class standard. Additionally, Yamaha has integrated a Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) system, enhancing the performance range further. With the introduction of the ‘Legend Silver’ color scheme reminiscent of the iconic XT500 from the late 1970s and early 1980s, the XSR125 not only offers solid performance but also a nostalgic aesthetic that stands out.

Tricity 300: Urban Mobility Redefined

Switching gears to Yamaha’s three-wheeled model, the Tricity 300 has also received notable updates. Designed for urban commuters, the scooter now features a lighter exhaust system, contributing to its performance with a modest output of 27.6bhp at 7250rpm. With a price tag of £8679, it retains its appeal to those seeking mobility in bustling city life. The Tricity 300 is available in three vibrant colors: ‘Milky White’, ‘Zen Green’, and ‘Power Grey’, making it an attractive choice for riders looking to navigate through traffic confidently.
