Description
Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 2023 Yamaha XSR900.
Based on the Yamaha MT-09, the XSR900 offered all of the same lunacy from the 115 horsepower inline triple but with a very distinctive “neo-retro” style.
Most testers preferred the XSR’s updated suspension compared to the MT; in its review, MCN said that, “The handling is as good as it gets for a bike straight out of the box. The XSR is stable, with impressive feedback and mechanical grip. It’s hard to find any fault with it at all.” The power and handling were complemented by standard ABS, traction control, and programmable ride modes.
The second generation appeared in 2022 with near identical styling but improved features and performance. A quick-shifter now came standard and Yamaha also added a fourth rider mode and a new electronics package including cornering ABS, lean angle-aware traction control, slide control, and lift control. With lighter wheels, it weighed five pounds less than its predecessor and engine improvements bumped the ponies to 117.
Manufactured September 2023, this example is VIN: JYARN80E0PA001555. The seller is the original owner and purchased the bike new from the dealer seven months ago. The seller notes the bike is a tribute to French racer Christian Sarron.
