2018 YAMAHA XSR700
FIRST RIDE
P56
The XSR700 actually debuted in 2016
in Europe and Australasia, and only now
have we seen it get the stamp of ap-
proval for the U.S. market. The reason
being is the bikes running around in
Europe were made in the European fac-
tory, whereas the bikes we have in the
States come direct from Yamaha Japan.
The rear

comes off and
voila, you've
got yourself a
custom bike!
Even for a rider of
Rennie's 6'1," the XSR700
is a very comfortable fit.

the cockpit compared to more modern naked bike designs.
