I’m not a sport bike fan but that is bloody nice. Takes me back to 90’s GP bikes. Power valves etc etc

Cannot believe how cool that bike looks. It looks like it came from a Japanese manga. Reminds me the time I saw a Genesis 600 in 96, and I was hooked for ever.

Hey Yamaha, do you include a PILL to take our bodies back to the shape they were in, in the '90s? Beautiful bike. Awesome review.

Would have prefered a larger front headlight and larger tail with storage space like an actual 90s sportsbike, but honestly its about damn time our generations got some of our nostalgia marketed to. I cant wait to see more 90s inspired bikes like this and the katana

Other motorbike channels have journalists who are enthusiastic about bikes. Bike World has petrolheads who are enthusiastic about journalism. The buttomline difference might not be that much, but you guys always achieve to extract that little bit more information about eacht bike that others cannot fathom. Well done, love each of you!

Yes! Pendulum is slowly swinging back from the era of rabbit eared bikes. Latest MT has lower bar and better rider position. Hate those high bar nakeds.

Now Suzuki need to make an XR69 lookalike with K5 engine 😊

Yamaha! Bring this to America. With the gold wheels.

I remember growing up in those times too (and taking my formative steps as a motorcyclist). Good times definitely. Bikes were certainly powerful enough, beginning to handle better than most riders could outrider them, tyres were also becoming very good. Less speed cameras and less restrictions. The music was brilliant.... I could go on.... but definitely a 'golden era' of technologies coming together for the everyday regular motorcyclist. Bikes were much less complicated too. You could actually service your own bike and diagnose issues without automotive diagnostics training! This is why my 'youngest' bike was manufactured in 2007! Keeping it simple. I even have a very tidy '91 Yamaha TDM 850 for that 'garage door' feeling! Now there is a bike they could relaunch for the current era! Happy and safe riding everyone!😊

It looks even better with the belly pan!

So now I wish Kawasaki would do a similar job with the Z900 and give us something rather like a GPZ900R for the 2020s

If they make it, I hope they don't touch a thing about the Z900 powerplant. That, or give it even more power. I don't understand the "need" to reduce power, add weight, just because styling is different from the donor bike. All the reengineering costs money and jacks up the price.

Hey Chad - don't apologise for recalling that wonderful period in time! The last (and only) new bike I bought was in 89 and it was a Yamaha FZR600 Genesis in black because it went faster! Now having seen this I'm seriously thinking perhaps it's about time for another......🤔

Pay attention Suzuki! You've got the K5/6 1000, put it back in sports bike that pays homage to Suzook's 750/1000 heritage and it'll sell like hot cakes. It doesn't need 200hp, 150-170 will do. However, it does need to be light (

When Yamaha released the naked XSR in blue, with the gold rims, I saw the flat tank and said that the bike was screaming out for a frame mounted, late '80s FZR/TZR style 1/4 fairing, and above the triple clamp clip-ons. It's like they read my mind with this bike! Now they need to bring it to the USA...

Absolutely freakin gorgeous, retro done right !

Hope other manufacturers follows this. Making a classic look bike with modern engine & suspension spec.

This is the type of styling and mix of old vs new we all want.

Yamaha, why are you not bringing it to the states🤯

First they all went inline twin and now this styling.... In a few years they will implement both together and invent the TRX850.

I passed my test in 1990 and bought a TZR250 the day after. 34 years later I still own one! This looks really cool. Not sure I like the bar end mirrors or lack of end can though. Also not sure it looks any better with a full fairing 🤔

What a beauty!

Love this review! "That open the garage door feeling says it all"! Looks alone will make me buy this bike when it comes to the states! Nice job. The end of the review with the kids on the street was fun!

Well done Yamaha. A lot of us in our 50's have money to spend on the bikes of our 20's.

It's very pretty. To be fair I like the XSR900F design from Velocity Moto more. Which you can refit to a regular xsr900. Then you've got choice between the regular design or that special one. Not sure on the difference in prices to be fair. Have you guys seen that Velocity Moto design?

Looks Great! but the '23 XSR was $2K cheaper. I guess the suspension is upgraded, but the '23 was darn good. Love the fairing and the larger screen, probably a few mode upgrades. Another winner!

Giving me vibes of my 1989 FZR1000 BUT was really suprised at the price. Just checked CycleTrader here in America and there is a 2016 R1M with a little over 3,000 miles for the same price as this. As beautiful as this bike is I would pick the 8 year old R1M.

Well, I was playing with toy miniature bikes like these in the early 90's... I know one thing, those Ducati engineers that Yamaha took in are just killing it for real! Yamaha's thinking outside the box on a every level, more than all others combined. I like it.

It's good that they made the seat softer than on the regular XSR900. and without that piece of plastic side fairing going between the front of the seat and the gas tank.

Why is the panel gap so big between the upper and lower fairing

Yamaha are really injecting fun into their line up.

It reminds me the fzr400 from the 90's...

They created this futuristic look and it still has a retro flair, Japanese design never fails to impress.

Nice

It's a nice evolution of the XSR900. Looks good, goes good, the motor hasn't gotten any less amazing. Buuuuuuut I can't help thinking that they should have put all this time an effort into an R9 instead. I know people keep saying it, that's because Yamaha keep ignoring it.

Eriçeira, Portugal. I live there

WOW

I've ridden Yamaha my entire life, now on my 8th. Happens to be another R1. Be reminded also that Yamaha is an electronics company, through their musical instrument division. Only Honda can brag the same.

Give it an Air-Cool dry clutch motor and I'm in. The boxer..🥊

this might be the 1st step before endorsing the R9?

I like the black one.

I wish the belly pan/lower fairing was the length of the upper fairing and covered the engine
