The Yamaha XSR900 is a classic optical illusion - with its round headlight, angular tank and attached tail light, it clearly passes for a retro bike. But it's no coincidence that the performance is reminiscent of the potent mid-range naked bike Yamaha MT-09, which is the extremely sporty basis for the XSR900. So the engine is a blast and the brakes are appropriately venomous. Fortunately, the engineers didn't overdo it with the chassis, the XSR900 offers sufficient comfort and the upright riding position is more comfortable than the powerful engine would lead one to expect. All in all, the XSR900 is one of the sportiest models among the retro bikes.

Basically, it hardly matters whether I think the Yamaha XSR900 Abarth is good or bad - the first 95 of the 695 units worldwide were sold out within 20 minutes. So there's no need to worry about the remaining 600. Nevertheless, it should be mentioned that the Abarth version looks enormously good with the carbon fairings front and rear, the Akrapovic exhaust and the suede saddle. The low handlebars are not as comfortable as the conventional XSR900, but fit perfectly with this stylish appearance. The engine, chassis and brakes work just like on the normal XSR900 - in other words, extremely sporty and wonderfully rideable.
