A Retro Revamp: YAMAHA XSR900 Custom

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "YAMAHA XSR900" custom by Webike community user "Orion". The owner particularly appreciates how this bike combines a retro look with the latest technology. He also feels confident in its versatility, as it can easily handle light dirt trails, making it a reliable all-rounder. According to the owner, the bike is also an excellent base for customization, and as seen in the photos, it has been transformed into an even more photogenic machine thanks to his customization.

At the front, a bikini fairing, which is a popular dress-up part for naked bikes, has been added to change the bike’s appearance. The owner chose one from Puig. This modification also significantly reduces wind pressure on the upper body. Additionally, by installing a YAMAHA Heritage Exterior Set and a FUNNY’S CUSTOM SERVICE Tail Cowl Kit, the bike has been given a more nostalgic, cohesive look. To complement the design, the wheels have been fitted with MDF Rim Stripes in mirror gold, creating a unified feel with the gold lines on the exterior parts. Another standout feature at the front is the US YAMAHA Radiator Guard, prominently displaying the XSR logo. The radiator core is a delicate component that can easily be damaged by small stones while riding, potentially reducing cooling efficiency and leading to increased engine temperatures. This part is crucial for maintaining optimal cooling performance.

The exhaust is a YOSHIMURA Machine-Bent R-77S Cyclone Carbon End Full Exhaust. At low RPMs, the unique thrum of the three-cylinder engine is noticeable, while at mid-to-high RPMs, it produces a crisp, sharp sound. The overall reduction in weight also contributes to a lighter, more nimble, and enjoyable riding experience.
