2016 YAMAHA XSR900
FIRST RIDE
P94
me this is the perfect naked bike traction
control system as it is there should the
back end step out, but it still lets me un-
leash my inner child when there is some-
one to show off to. And on the XSR900
people will be looking at you.
In the "King Kenny" 60
th
Anniversary
paint the XSR900 looks amazing while
the brushed aluminum and slate blue
schemes are also very retro stylish. You
can even add a set of the accessory drop
bars (taken from the XJR1300 Racer) if
you want full-on retro, but this makes what
is a wonderfully practical and fun bike as
standard into a cripplingly uncomfortable
one for the sake of fashion! Personally, I'd
keep the XSR900 standard and spend all
my days riding the wheels off it and grin-
ning like a fool rather than attempting to
customize and inevitably screw up what is
a great bike. CN
