Yamaha XSR900 2020
The Yamaha XSR900 is a classic case of optical illusion – with its round headlight, angular fuel tank and mounted rear light, it clearly comes across as a retro bike. However, it’s no coincidence that its performance is reminiscent of the powerful mid-range naked bike, the Yamaha MT-09, as that is the extremely sporty basis for the XSR900. The engine is therefore a real force to be reckoned with, and the brakes, as you’d expect, bite with real ferocity. Fortunately, the engineers haven’t gone overboard with the suspension; the XSR900 offers plenty of comfort, and the upright riding position is more relaxed than one might expect given the engine’s powerful acceleration. Within the retro bike segment, the XSR900 is yet one of the sportiest models overall.
