For the XSR900, 2026 is an anniversary year. Ten years ago, in 2016, the first XSR900 arrived in showrooms: 115 hp, 847 cc, and retro bodywork wrapped around MT-09 technology. Many underestimated it. They saw the styling – the round headlight, split seat, and analog-inspired look recalling Yamahas of the 1980s – and thought lifestyle bike. Then they rode it and discovered an engine that had no interest in lifestyle. It was interested in corners.

Ten years and one major redesign later, the XSR900 is larger at 890 cc, sharper electronically, and otherwise exactly what it hasxuxemlfgwmnwnfpxapzkihumoaikpbyuvmupyagsqpfavyplytayazuggvbcdspuvlbdszbxthqwybyrqnmwxmnwjkfmpqgktnjrmezacaqmbjqrpmzavvjclvrksegrbqbkvfvofpfuhvnnndpydeorwmrsfynabxhiuapcjdsnpmcaiwkrsajqeakpdod
