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.

Even though the Thruxton 1200 is supposed to be the sporty model of the retro line, the normal model was designed to be refreshingly suitable for everyday use and thus harmonious - the sportier Thruxton 1200 R serves the true retro racers anyway. This leaves a powerful engine that revs heartily, a good-natured braking system, a somewhat elongated but sufficiently comfortable seating position and inconspicuously packaged electronic features in a motorbike that visually trumps with reminiscences of the good old days without being embarrassing. Triumph has also done an excellent job with the Thruxton 1200!
