2016 YAMAHA XSR900 VS. 2016 DUCATI MONSTER 821
COMPARISON TEST
P60
Yamaha has the Japanese
answer. The Tuning Fork house
has been doing a great job over
the last few years tapping into its
heritage and delivering motor-
cycles that are as good to look
at as they are to ride. The Sport
Heritage lineup has been noth-
ing but a roaring success across
the globe, thanks in no small
part to various bike-building
competitions and an ultra-clever
marketing and social media
strategy that's forced this $9490
XSR900 into the minds of riders
across the globe.
Ducati, on the other hand,
has its own take on the conun-
drum. While Yamaha is tapping
heritage to bring you a new bike,
(Above) Nice big,
wide seat on the
Ducati is more
comfortable than
the Yamaha's.
(Right) The
Ducati's bulkier
riding stance
hurt it a touch
in corners
compared to the
easier nature of
the Yamaha.
