Yamaha XSR900 details, naked-bike retro style, 850cc engine

Yamaha's booth at the VMCS 2016 year attract many visitors, not because of the appearance of the car race MotoGP M1 or the YZF-R1 which is the XSR900. This is the naked-bike retro style is developed based on brother FZ-10. Muscular styling is still characteristic of the FZ line combined with the engine block 850 cubic strongly, but with XSR900, you will be owning a more dramatic style, just mix the classic phase medium little bit dusty cafe-racer.
First impressions when looking at the fact that XSR900 is the pits, strong and a bit nostalgic. If you are already familiar with the Yamaha FZ series on XSR900 also there is not much difference, in addition to the nostalgic styles mentioned above. The details in the XSR900 looks are emphasized in the past, including as headlights and taillight round, perfect gas tank aluminum milling type scratches and silver metal cladding details on either side of the hull.
In addition, the reverse journey front shock absorbers also does not use the same gold color as the FZ-10 which used black uniform with the chassis, the engine and the main airport. Clusters of exhaust XSR900 also be perfected different than the FZ-10, on the FZ-10 colored bright metal discharge pipes longer on XSR900 is completely matte black paint with Silver accents to create shots.
XSR900 's central clock cluster has a circle instead of the hexagon as on the FZ-10. Although geared to the classic style but it does not use traditional analog clock that uses an electronic screen to show the parameters. The signal lamps placed around, quite similar to the Scrambler of Ducati.

One thing is somewhat regrettable that the rims of XSR900 still uses the same casting as nan FZ-9, if Yamaha powered rim spokes, the style was also emphasized. Personally I prefer a nostalgic car use rims spokes than cast. The XSR900 's ring sizes 17 ", 120 tires mounted front and rear 180.
XSR900 use similar motivated block FZ-10. That is the kind of 3-cylinder in line, 847 cc, liquid cooled, gasoline injection with electronic throttle control chip technology Y-CCT. The engine has a maximum capacity of 113.4 BHP at 10000 rpm and maximum torque of 87.4 Nm at 8500 RPM. The gearbox is a 6-level categories. The prominent feature on XSR900 includes traction control, anti-lock brakes, hard ABS and adjustable damping.

Does Yamaha Vietnam don't yet have genuine distribution plan XSR900 in Vietnam, perhaps the airline wanted to probe the market demand and then make a decision.
