2016 Yamaha XSR900 First RIde

Yamaha hopes the neo-retro styled, new-for-2016 XSR900 captures the imagination of a fast-growing segment it identifies as “riders that want authentic values (style/materials), balanced with modern technology and exciting performance.” Rounding out what Yamaha has termed its Sport Heritage line consisting of the venerable VMax, café-styled Bolt C-Spec, and retro SR400 single, the XSR900 makes perfect sense for riders looking for a daily commuter that is also very capable of spirited weekend romps.
