At the heart of the 2024 Yamaha XSR125 naked motorcycle, Yamaha relies on a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.8 HP (10.8 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.5 Nm (8.5 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 119.4 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (10,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the XSR125 measures 140 kg (309 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.46 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,330 mm (52.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.1 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 476 km (296 miles) between fill-ups.
