Yamaha XSR700 Revealed 2015
- 9 years ago
The 2016 Yamaha XSR700 follows the “Faster Sons” philosophy that led to a concept model produced by L.A.-based designer Shinya Kimura. It pays tribute to the classic XS650 but with modern technology, including the 689cc Twin engine from the FZ-07.
The parallel-Twin engine is the same as the one powering the FZ-07, with an uneven firing interval and 270-degree crank as part of Yamaha’s “Crossplane Philosophy”. Yamaha Motor Europe claims a maximum output of 73.8 hp at 9000 rpm and 50.2 lb-ft. at 6500 rpm. Yamaha claims the XSR700 can get 54.7 mpg, which would provide a range of about 200 miles
The engine is mounted in the FZ-07’s diamond-type frame, but the XSR has a different subframe that doesn’t rise as sharply. The XSR700’s 32.1-inch seat height is 0.4-inch taller than the FZ’s. The suspension appears unchanged from the FZ-07; a horizontally-mounted rear shock offers 5.1 inches of travel, as does the telescopic fork. The 24.5-degree rake and 90mm of trail are also the same as with the FZ-07
Yamaha Motor Europe will offer the 2016 XSR700 in Forest Green or Garage Metal paint schemes. It’ll arrive in dealerships on the continent in November. Yamaha will also offer a number of accessories.
