Intro

The 2025 Yamaha XSR700 is here to take you on a ride back in time, and it’s doing it in style. The big news is a new color option, Deep Purplish Blue Metallic C, inspired by Yamaha’s RZ250/350 sportbikes of the 1980s. Along with Radical White, the update keeps the XSR700’s neo-retro cool while retaining the performance riders love.

Retro Design With a Modern Twist

For 2025, Yamaha goes full-on retro. The new blue paint is a direct homage to the RZ series, the motorcycle that defined the two-stroke era. The Radical White option reinforces the connection, with graphics that mirror Yamaha’s racing DNA.

Beyond colors, the minimalist bodywork, round LED headlamp and upright stance stay true to the XSR family’s retro-modern ethos. It’s a design for riders who want vintage looks without compromising on modern reliability.

Yamaha Retro Motorcycle With CP2 Power

Underneath the retro skin, the 2025 Yamaha XSR700 roars to life with its trusty 689cc CP2 parallel-twin engine. With 73 bhp and strong mid-range torque, the motor is loved for being responsive yet easy to use every day.

Paired with agile handling, ABS brakes and a comfortable riding position, the XSR700 is a balance of fun and practicality. For urban commutes, weekend rides or light touring, it’s one of Yamaha’s most versatile retro motorcycles.

Price & Availability

Global price: $8,599 (approx. ₹7.15 lakh). Yamaha hasn’t announced Indian availability yet, but we’ll keep an eye out. If launched, it will compete with the Kawasaki Z650RS and Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, both popular in the retro segment.

Closing Note

With retro colors and proven performance, the 2025 Yamaha XSR700 proves heritage styling still has a place in today’s motorcycles. For enthusiasts who want a modern bike wrapped in 1980s nostalgia, this might just be the perfect blend of past and present.
