Needless to say, Tracker style mods on neo-retro motorcycles almost always yield appealing results and Kijima’s build was no different.Kijima Yamaha XSR125 Tracker StyleFor starters, Kijima’s approach to a Flat Tracker style is a rather subtle one as we have seen quite a few flamboyant Tracker-style builds. So, the headlight from stock motorcycle remains and so do most of the bike’s body panels. Kijima’s approach here is to subtly amplify and complement stock bike’s look, rather than establishing a completely different identity.Kijima has amplified XSR125’s appeal with custom round aluminium TECH12 ORVMs with fancy ORVM stalks or stems, there is a new fly-screen finished in a multi-colour striped theme, we have a beefy metallic bash plate for engine protection, contrasting colour for handlebar grips, stylish LED turn indicators and we can see a brown seat cover too.Kijima Yamaha XSR125 FlyscreenThere are a lot of chrome bits from Kijima like radiator cover gets a chrome finish, a chrome Tracker-style handlebar with brace bars, a stylish and retro chrome rear grab handle, chrome chopped front fender and the likes.Added functionalities and featuresKijima has also ensured that there are a few functionalities added to Yamaha XSR125 as well. There is a USB charger, there is a helmet lock along with two luggage mounts emerging from rear pillion foot peg area for added practicality. Tyres have been upsized and are fancier Pirelli Scorpion Rally STRs.Kijima Yamaha XSR125 HandlebarThe motorcycle shown by Kijima is for reference and might be commercialized in the future. The custom rear tail-tidy, new Teal paint job with Kijima stickers lend a unique appeal. The bike is now more off-road worthy thanks to new tyres and added protection to bike’s underbody with a bash plate.Kijima Yamaha XSR125 Bash PlateRest of the Yamaha XSR125 appears to be stock.
