I looked around at many learner legal bikes and the Dragstar xvs 125 was by far the best looking and well made. I'ts great to cruise on and sounds sweet as you burble through country villages in top gear. It could do with a bit more power for the open road, but then again, you are starting out in biking this stops you getting yourself into trouble. It oozes style and mine was a bargain at £1500 with only 3,000 miles on it.

Top quality bike that just feels will take you anywhere! So smooth to ride and plenty of power for a small machine but then it is a yamaha so well screwed together as always...........Looks far bigger than a 125 and has lots of street cred and respect! XVS 125 Dragstar a total pleasure to own and ride and I never want to get off it once she's rolling! anyone wanting one......................you wont be dissappointed!

You get what you pay for- the Yamaha XVS 125 Dragstar is a big chrome armchair that can do 70mph that looks like a classic big bike

iv owned Yamaha XVS 125 Dragstar for about two years now and im glad to say its an amazing little beast very reliable in all weather and starts every time and sounds better than any other 125 standard.
my dragstar is fitted with a new exhaust kit by highway hawk and makes it sound like thunder!!
and with alot of butchering a K&N with bigger jets and bigger rear sproket does about 70mph.

I got my Yamaha XVS 125 Dragstar with 14k miles on it, and it's been really easy to learn on.It takes about £7 to fill up, and this goes for about 100-120 miles.Although the power isn't the best (I can only do 60 tops), it looks fantastic for a learner legal bike.I can't fault the reliability of it, but that's Yamaha for you.

This is one of the best 125 learner legal cruiser bikes that money can buy! (Only the L plates will give your bike away that it ' s a 125cc if you haven ' t done your full testThe quality is fantastic, these were very pricey when released. The handling in the wet/dry is great, the seat is very comfortable and the bike is easy to manage. The chrome will need attention once in a while as there is a lot of it. It really looks the part and people will never believe it ' s a 125. Others similar to th ...

Gotta say this bike's been great for my second bike, had it for 3 years now, and it's served me thoroughly, and in 3 years it's only had a new front and back tyre, and a new battery, but now needs a regulator/rectifier!
On the whole a great bike, well balanced, sturdy, good for all weathers, and certainly doesn't look like a piddly 125, sadly it's not pulling as well as it used to, it's running out of steam at 45 - 50mph, shame really as it used to hit 70!

Had this bike for the last three years which has only cost me the price of a chain and sprocket set, front tyre, front brake pads, battery and a regulator rectifier. I have travelled over ten thousand trouble free miles on a bike that has never let me down, I am very satisfied and beleive i have had value for money.

The bike Yamaha Dragstar feels like a top class cruiser, both in styling and ride position. The quality is 100% Yamaha, meaning the best that they offer. It's brothers & sisters are awesome, and it definitely appears as if it's from the same stable as the big one's!
Perfect introduction to motorcycling at it's best... ride this and you won't feel like a learner (despite L plates) as the class and breeding of the machine garners the respect and adulation that it deserves. I rode high-powered MX'e ...

A very nice "little" bike that does what it says on the tin.

On the whole the Yamaha Dragstar is a very attractive, stylish motor cycle. if you want to be a boy racer then buy something else. If you want comfort and looks then either buy one of these or find a 40 year old biker chick at your local head bangers bar.
I've had my 125cc 02 drag star for just over two weeks now and have covered 300 miles or so. It hasn't missed a beat. I'm 19 stone and it pulls beautifully at around 60 MPH. I bought it in Milton Keens with 15,000 on the clock and drove it home ...

Like others, nobody thinks this is a 125, its got style and class, it doesn't sound like a hair dryer or my lawn mower. Its a perfect bike for a learner who wants a bit of style. The last thing i want to say is that I learnt on mine and took my test on it, i'm also tall 6ft2, and to get full lock to you turn i had to alter the angle of the handle bars to get the neaded clearance from my knees.

This bike simply looks great I feel great when I'm going into town with it its not embarrassing like most 125s are the best thing is it doesn't sound like a "hairdryer" ok it doesn't sound massive but you wouldn't believe its just a 125.
Brilliant bike can even get when your a learner!

Shame they dont make Honda Dragstars anymore, something to do with emmissions. Also shame that you can not buy a replacement engine either.
Loved this bike bought in 2000 new rode it for 7 years but it finally gave up. Cost about £800 a year to ride including purchase price so no complaints really - I want another one!

If you want to look cool while learning, this Yamaha XVS 125 Dragstar is the bike. Lots of chrome and looks like a "real bike", not a hair dryer. Makes a good sound even on its standard pipes and if you want to customise it, there are loads of cool add-ons on the web.

It goes pretty well for a relatively heavy 125 in town but does run out of puff at 60-65mph. It's very eye catching and people never believe its a 125. I am always getting engaged in conversation with other bikers at the lights ...
