New Vintage themed colours
Yamaha’s Sports Heritage XSR900 is now available in new retro-inspired colour schemes for 2019, with Garage Metal and Vintage Blue joining the line-up.
Inspired by Yamaha’s iconic 1970s models, the XSR900 has become a highly popular choice in Yamaha’s sport-heritage range since its release in 2017. Based on the MT-09 Maximum Torque model, the XSR900 is heritage by nature but modern by design.
Styling cues linking the XSR900 to its forefathers include aluminium tank covers, front and rear aluminium fenders, hand-polished aluminium details, stitched seat, circular instrument clock, circular tail light and retro-style headlight with aluminium stay.
Power is provided by the high torque 847cc CP3 triple-cylinder engine producing 84.6kW and 87.5Nm of torque, featuring three levels of adjustable traction control (TCS), D-Mode selectable engine maps, and an assist and slipper (AS) clutch.
Suspension is a 41mm USD (upside down) fork adjustable for rebound damping, while at the rear the Monocross linked-type suspension offers preload and rebound damping adjustment. The lightweight aluminium Diamond frame features an externally mounted swingarm to provide a short (1440mm) wheelbase. The narrower foot peg position provides a more comfortable ride.
The riding position of the XSR900 is more upright than its sporty MT-09 brethren, but still boasts agile handling and impressive torque delivery.
