Yamaha SCR950 2017

The new SCR950 further expands the wide range of "Faster Sons" retro bikes. A visually extremely successful, minimalist bike with beautiful scrambler elements. When riding on asphalt, you only notice that the XV950 cruiser serves as the basis because of the low lean angle. The engine, on the other hand, pulls well and the brakes, each with a 298 disc at the front and rear, make a good effort. Off-road, however, the suspension elements quickly snap due to the high weight of 252 kilos. All in all, an interesting and very finely executed interpretation of a very early scrambler.

Credible scrambler look

comfortable seating position

powerful engine

adequately dimensioned brakes

uncomplicated handling

Apart from ABS, no electronic features

chassis fails quite quickly

comparatively little lean angle clearance
