A Profile of the Yamaha XSR900
Those of you who are familiar with the History of Yamaha will remember the fun and compact Yamaha FZ-07 and FZ-09 bikes. You know the ones, the Yamahas that were full of kickass performance, but were, truth be told, kind of ugly. Well, the bothers, Yamaha XSR700 and the Yamaha XSR900, are Yamaha’s answer to the issue. The Yamaha XSR700 and XSR900 share the same motors and chassis as the FZs but is designed in a way that appeals to fans of that neo-retro, cafe look (like millennials).
The XSR700 is the baby brother of the Yamaha XSR900 that is soon to be available in America after a long wait. In typical younger sibling fashion, the 700 emulates the styling legacy of both the FZ-07 and the XSR900 and also offers the same riding comfort and superior feel. But we’re here to talk about the torquey and fun XSR900, and that we will.
