[XSR700 News]

Maybe Yamaha hasn't confirmed the XSR750 for America because they plan on launching the XSR900 shortly?

VisorDown is reporting that Yamaha has effectively confirmed the larger XSR when they showed Roland Sands, King Kenny inspired, FZ-09 Custom.

If you remember the XSR750 debuted with a special Faster Sons one-off custom. Yamaha is using the same language to describe the Roberts racer replica.

Yamaha Motor Europe Product Manager Shun Miyazawa all but confirmed the project would become production reality: 'Roland did a fantastic job with this build, respecting this philosophy in great detail. This has given us a huge confidence and, as with Shinya Kimura’s concept, has again confirmed our direction and bike building philosophy. We are working on future Faster Sons products and this concept is going to help us to accelerate bringing future products to the market.'

If that's not enough for you VD is reporting that Yamaha has also filed trademarks for a host of web domains relating to XSR900.

So which would you rather have, the XSR 750 or the larger XSR900 triple?

Last we saw the XSR900 triple we only had a glimpse of what it'll look like but I don't think they came out with the specs for it. I'll have to compare the specs betweent eh XSR900 triple and xsr700 befoer deciding.

Launching the 900 first before the 700 is smart, since higher trims are almost what everyone finds to be the coolest even if its what they don't actually need or sometimes can't afford. Slotting in the 700 right after helps to get some cross promotion going on.

Will the 900 be available in Europe too? Doesn't seem very fair if they get both the xsr700 and 900 and we only get one.

Looking back at these pictures.... got to love how that seat is shaped... and that's not something i say often:

 

[Traffic]

hey check it out someone rendered the XSR900...

 

[GogglesMcoy]

What is that white piece attached to the seat?

I can get used to that look, only thing I would rid of is the rear fender so that where it ends is just with the tip of the seat.

 

[GogglesMcoy]

I want the faster son seat on the XSR900. Best of both world in comfort!

 

[YamahaFan]

Me too but i'd probably have the faster son seat done in some different material and in a different color. Maybe some brown leather, with that yellow it should go well.

 

[TrueNorth]

WOuld they do both> I am guessing they will release one and then depending on sales success they will release the other in due time.

 

[YamahaFan]

Both because it proves to be viable.

Revzilla just stated that the XSR900 will hit dealerships in April, 2016 and the 60th Anniversary model with the yellow and black paint will be available in May.
I would still prefer the XSR700.

yea NA is probabaly not getting the 700 now, how much room is there for 2 customs... doesnt the 09 dominate sales here too anyways?

 

[YamahaFan]

Rock slate looks the best to me and most likely what i would go with unique in a way since you don't typically see that color scheme around.
