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.
For 2016, Yamaha released the 60th Anniversary edition, which sported an iconic yellow and black speedblock livery in dedication to Kenny Roberts’ TZ750, gold fork tubes, a yellow shock spring and anniversary badging.
Manufactured in March of 2016, this example is VIN: JYARN47E3GA000303. The seller is the original owner, he purchased it new from a Yamaha dealership in 2016.
The odometer shows 1,492 miles.
