Yamaha has unveiled its retro-yet-modern-styled roadster called the Yamaha XSR700 that pays tribute to the iconic Yamaha XS650.
Aimed at young and stylish riders, the 2016 Yamaha XSR700 was “designed to take a timeless feel built on historical icons, matched with tomorrow’s technology”. It is based on the MT-07/ FZ-07 platform, powered by the Liquid-cooled 689cc parallel-twin that blends Yamaha’s special ‘crossplane philosophy’ with 270-degree crank. It has a total output of 73.8 hp at 9,000 rpm and 50.2 lb-ft peaking at 6,500 revs.
The 2016 Yamaha XSR700’s highlights include a vintage inspired single-round LED headlight and rear light, two-texture leather vintage style seat, period style speedometer, wide tapered black handlebars, mesh side panels, embroidered seat logo, stubby rear muffle, 10-spoke aluminium wheels, plus aluminium fender, headlight bracket, and retro fuel tank.
The 2016 Yamaha XSR700 has a tubular steel chassis with an easily customizable bolt-on rear sub-frame, horizontally-mounted monoshock rear suspension, and features dual 282mm front discs with 4-pot calipers, as well as standard ABS. The bike rides on the Pirelli Phantom Sportscomp tires (120/70-17 up front, with a 180/55-17 in the rear) that has perfect mix of vintage looks and contemporary technology.
Yamaha also offers a wide range of customization accessories and a complete range of rider apparel such as a radiator cover, knuckle guards, single seat, fly screen, tank bag and so on.
The 2016 Yamaha XSR700 will comes in two color options: Forest Green and Garage Metal. It will be available from November 2015, with prices set to be announced later this year.
Below take a look at the XSR700’s technical specification, pictures, and video of the new Yamaha XSR700 in action, along with the Faster Sons bike created by Los Angeles based Japanese bike builder Shinya Kimura.
