Yamaha SCR950 2017

The new SCR950 further expands the wide range of "Faster Sons" retro bikes. A visually extremely successful, minimalist bike with beautiful scrambler elements. When riding on asphalt, you only notice that the XV950 cruiser serves as the basis because of the low lean angle. The engine, on the other hand, pulls well and the brakes, each with a 298 disc at the front and rear, make a good effort. Off-road, however, the suspension elements quickly snap due to the high weight of 252 kilos. All in all, an interesting and very finely executed interpretation of a very early scrambler.

Credible scrambler look

comfortable seating position

powerful engine

adequately dimensioned brakes

uncomplicated handling

Apart from ABS, no electronic features

chassis fails quite quickly

comparatively little lean angle clearance

Just like its sister Street Twin, the Street Scrambler also receives decisive updates to the engine, chassis, brakes and ergonomics. And even though the greatly increased power has a positive effect, the bulbous torque is almost more pleasing. The chassis is of a very high quality, offering a lot of comfort and stability. A small drawback of the Street Scrambler are the footrests that touch down early. On the other hand, the look is perfect. If you love scramblers, you will like the side-mounted exhaust system, the wide fork and the overall higher-quality finish.

Engine with plenty of torque in the middle

comfortable chassis

good brakes

excellent ergonomics

up-to-date electronic features

smooth clutch

cool scrambler look

Brake needs manual force

footrests drag early

instruments with small digital display
