After 5 Minutes of Worrying, Bought Right Away XSR900 | Beloved Motorcycle

XSR900(888cc)Owner: OSAMU users

This corner introduces one MY BIKE submitted to Webike Community every week.
The model introduced this time is Yamaha「XSR900」and the owner is "OSAMU user".

With the recent neo-retro boom, motorcycles with a classical taste can be seen in many places. Among these motorcycles, the Sports Heritage category was created as the latest sports model in terms of performance, while maintaining the orthodox naked style in styling. The XSR900 presented here is a typical model. It was released in Europe in 2015 and went on sale in Japan in 2016. Based on the Neo-Retro concept, the overall impression is classical, yet it is equipped with a high-power liquid-cooled inline 3-cylinder engine. With the latest traction control and driving mode switching system, it was also at the forefront of performance as a road sports model. For the 2022 model year, the model has undergone a model change, and in addition to changes in appearance such as the tank and fenders, it has been further modernized with a larger displacement, a new frame, and full-color LED meters.

What I like about the XSR900 is its good looks. It is very important for a motorcycle to look good.
Of course, everyone has different tastes, but the XSR900 was nominated for the Good Design Award Best 100 right after its release.  The company has also won various design awards, including the「Auto Color Award 2016 Special Prize」「JIDA Design Museum Selection Vol. 18」「iF Design Award, and in 2017」it was selected for the top prize of the「Red Dot Award」a global design award. Yamaha models have always been very careful about design, but the XSR900 is the first model to win as many as five design awards. There is no doubt that it is a cool design, even for people who do not ride motorcycles.

Mr. OSAMU was one of those who were fascinated by the coolness of the XSR900. After seeing the design and equipment, he said that he purchased the 2022 model in Black Metallic X color after five minutes of consideration, which could be described as an instant decision. She is very satisfied with the usability of the latest equipment, the careful and beautiful details, and the sense of ownership. The small load capacity and aerodynamic disadvantages are covered by the top case and short screen, and you can clearly see that they are also used for everyday use!

It is also said that fashion is patience, and cool style comes with the inconvenience. However, by arranging various convenient goods such as cases, screens, seat covers, etc., the convenience is high in addition to the luxurious standard equipment. One disadvantage, however, is the small steering wheel angle. Those who have switched from a motorcycle with a wide turning angle should be careful.

Hyakuri Motors was one of those who were impressed by the coolness of the latest XSR900 model.
He was originally familiar with the dynamic performance of the MT-09, which also has an inline 3-cylinder engine, but the latest features and light weight have made him even more satisfied with the performance. His comment that the light weight of the XSR900 makes it an okay first big motorcycle for beginner users who are in love with its looks is also a very encouraging comment!
