Conclusion - what sticks
Bravo Yamaha, with the XSR 900 you have achieved a great success. No one will be able to get off after a test ride on this bike and claim not to have had fun! The XSR is a fine motorcycle, very sporty, yet easy to handle and very potent both technically and in terms of performance. In this respect, the price is really more than okay from our point of view. machine!The test bike was kindly provided by Tecius & Reimers from Yamaha Zentrum Hamburg. There is one of currently only two demonstrators in the whole of Germany. But believe us: A test drive is worthwhile even if you live further away. But please make an appointment with Joachim beforehand, because the rush is great! Let's go to Hamburg!
