Yamaha XSR900 2018

La Yamaha XSR900 est une illusion d'optique classique - avec son phare rond, son réservoir anguleux et son feu arrière rapporté, elle passe clairement pour une moto rétro. Mais ce n'est pas un hasard si ses performances rappellent celles de la puissante moto tout terrain de classe moyenne Yamaha MT-09, car celle-ci constitue la base extrêmement sportive de la XSR900. Le moteur est donc une merveille et les freins sont très puissants. En ce qui concerne le châssis, les techniciens n'exagèrent heureusement pas, la XSR900 offre suffisamment de confort et la position d'assise droite est plus confortable que ne le laisserait supposer le moteur puissant. Dans la catégorie des motos rétro, la XSR900 est néanmoins l'un des modèles les plus sportifs.
