P116 FEATURE I HAXCH MOTO YAMAHA XZR900 great bikes of the time, like the YZR500, YZF750, TZR250 and FZR400. It seems to have really landed at the right time and had a big impact of people under 40, because those were our formative years and the ones we remember as kids. "I got obsessed and looked at so many pictures just to guide the whole build. It's a tricky thing to do, but somehow to capture that design language of what Yamaha were using in the '90s but then reshape it all to start from scratch for a completely new bike, it's great to hear when people see certain things in it. I'm really happy with it." CN (Above) The back-end is pure YZF750, so much so that even Colin Edwards would be proud. (Below) Front and rear comparisons of the XZR show just how slim the build is.
