THE NEW XTREME 125R IS A motorcycle that blends practicality with performance. It is surely a good-looking bike that sports all-round LED lighting, a sporty split seat, and rides on a set of 17-inch alloy wheels. It gets a 10-litre fuel-tank that is aggressively sculpted and also shrouds on either side. The new design of the headlight cowl along with the shrouds set this model apart from the 160R. The rear end is also sleek and, overall, this is quite a proportionate design. The bike is offered in three attractive colours: Cobalt Blue, Firestorm Red, and Stallion Black.
The riding position is relaxed on account of a fairly comfortable seat. The rider sits upright while the foot-pegs are set slightly towards the rear in tune with the sporty commuter theme. With my 5'7" stature, I was easily able to place both feet on the ground because of the bike's accessible 794-millimetre seat height. With a kerb weight of just 136 kilograms, the Xtreme 125R is an extremely light motorcycle to manoeuvre. It comes equipped with the same LCD dash that we have seen on the Xtreme 160 and it is both informative and easily legible.
