Yamaha Motor Australia has added an all-new heritage-inspired colour scheme for its XSR900 naked bike.
Known as Dynamic White, the design takes inspiration from the 1960s racing era. Specifically, Bill Ivy’s 125cc world championship winning two smoker.
Yamaha is not offering any other updates for the 2020 model year, and as such, pricing remains unchanged from $14,849 rideaway.
As before, the XSR900 features an 847cc triple, which offers three levels of traction control, selectable rider modes and an assist and slipper clutch.
The XSR900 is based on the brand’s MT-09 naked sportsbike, but instead offers retro features like an aluminium tank cover, front and rear aluminium fenders, a stitched seat, circular instrument clock, circular tail light and retro-style headlight with an aluminium stay.
For suspension, the bike utilises a 41mm fork which is adjustable for compression and rebound, while a preload and rebound adjustable monoshock is featured at the rear.
Spencer has a keen eye for hard news, and does some of his best living on deadline day. He loves more than anything to travel on his motorcycle, and is adamant that Melbourne Bitter is a world-class lager. He also knows how to operate the big computery thing in the office. By night, Spencer plays guitar with Melbourne punk outfit LOUTS.
