Yamaha XSR900 is a retro style motorcycle designed by Yamaha Motor Company and released for the first time in 2016. It is loosely based upon the FZ 09 sport/standard motorcycle but has been redesigned and restyled to produce a motorcycle in the "Sport Heritage" category.
Background
Yamaha brought he XSR900 to market in 2016, releasing it in two variants world-wide. The first; a 40th Anniversary Edition, painted in the classic black and yellow, utilizing a gold, inverted fork. This paint scheme is a nod to the classic "chain block" design made popular by Kenny Roberts in the 1970's.[1] The second, a more muted aluminum tank over black frame and black inverted fork.[2] The Yamaha XSR900 and FZ 09 share the same 847cc liquid-cooled DOHC inline 3-cylinder engine with a Yamaha's cross plane crankshaft. This engine was tuned to produce 115.00 HP (83.9 kW)) @ 10120 RPM and 61.46 Nm (6.3 kgf-m or 45.3 ft.lbs) of torque @ 8480 RPM. [3] This new model brought several new features with it when brought to market. These included the addition of new user changeable throttle control mappings, a new ECU, Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS), multiple traction control modes and stiffened suspension.

The 2017 XSR900 was little changed from the 2016 model.
