It’s also a great way to refresh the memories of adult motorcyclists looking for a more compact and budget bike.
And Yamaha’s XSR 125 could be just the perfect candidate with its reasonable price and classic retro charm. And this is precisely what Italian manufacturer Ducati has been doing with its Scrambler series.
The retro roadster XSR 125 with a displacement of 125 ccs continues the story of the XSR family. Which has focused on the motto ‘More passion through performance.’
