With a look reminiscent of the YZR500 ridden to victory by iconic Yamaha racers in the 80s and 90s, the XSR900 GP is a celebration of Yamaha's racing pedigree like never seen before.
The YZR Grand Prix racer inspired front fairing and seat hump evoke memories of the Golden Era of Grand Prix racing – a true tribute to some of the most iconic race bikes of Yamaha’s past. Don't be fooled by the heritage style – underneath the bodywork lies the latest in cutting-edge, Yamaha technology resulting in a truly capable machine that thrills with each twist of the throttle.
The latest in braking and suspension components enhance the ride, while integrated riding modes and an extensive electronics package raise the bar even further.
A five-inch full colour TFT display is housed in the retro-styled cockpit. You can choose from four display themes, including an analogue-style tachometer, inspired by race bikes of yesteryear. For an enriched riding experience, smart phone connectivity comes as standard on the XSR900 GP via the Y-Connect app, ensuring you can stay connected.
Enjoy an enhanced riding experience through the latest in Yamaha technology, including the third generation Quick Shift System enabling clutchless gear changes when both upshifting under acceleration and downshifting. Cruise control is fitted as standard, while the A&S Clutch (Assist and Slipper) keeps the bike settled in sporty riding.
In line with the mantra of blending yesterday’s style with modern technology, the XSR900 GP boasts the latest in suspension technology including fully adjustable KYB upside down forks and link type rear suspension which are both optimised for enhanced handling to accommodate the sporty riding style.
The advanced, R1-derived 6-axis IMU controls the extensive suite of rider aids, including Lean Sensitive Traction Control and ABS, Slide Control, and front wheel Lift Control System among more. Three pre-set integrated riding modes, ‘SPORT’, ‘STREET’ and ‘RAIN’ are complemented to a manually adjustable ‘CUSTOM’ settings.
The XSR900 GP features an upper cowling reminiscent of the 1980s ‘Golden Era’ of Grand Prix racing. The cowling, combined with separate knuckle guards not only give off vibes of the YZR500, but the added aerodynamic effect increases top speed and acceleration. A colour-matched seat cover on the passenger seat completes the racer look with a boxy 1980s style rear end.
To offer the sporty riding style to suit its race-inspired aesthetic, the XSR900 GP has riser clip on handlebars fixed above the top yoke. This moves the rider further forward on the machine, increasing the load on the front to offer the more precise feeling expected from a race-style machine, but with enough comfort for road riding.
