Against established retro bikes, how will the XSR300 fare?

The XSR300 is going to blow the competition out of the water, I think. They’ve had time to learn from other people’s mistakes and Yamaha’s engineering is among the best, as shown in their products. It’ll still nail the classic look, but it’ll probably have better performance than most retro bikes.

Will the XSR300 be moddable as much as the original RD350?

I'm optimistic. It's understandable, Yamaha knows their audience for this bike. Even if it's not as open as the old two-strokes, they'll probably build it with some kind of customization in mind.

Could the XSR300 bring back the 'Race Developed' spirit in everyday riding?

I think it could, just in different ways. The spirit of the "Race Developed" today, however, is more about precision and control than raw power. The XSR300 could nail that.

Will the XSR300 handle like modern sport bikes?

With the upright riding position, it actually might have an advantage in tight, technical roads. Less aggressive ergonomics can sometimes give you more confidence.

Could the XSR300 help bring younger riders into the retro motorcycle scene?

I think it has a shot. The key to making it work will be to market it as a lifestyle choice, not just another motorcycle. If you make it Instagram worthy, they will come.

Latest Updates

Monday, 04 November 2024 10:46 PM Yamaha has introduced the 2025 XSR900, which will be available in Raven or Heritage White and is set to arrive at dealers in April with an MSRP of $10,599. The new model features a powerful 890cc liquid-cooled CP3 engine, a new 5-inch TFT display, smartphone connectivity, and enhanced ergonomic touches including an updated seat design and new handlebar shape. I think these updates will make the XSR900 even more appealing to riders looking for a blend of performance and comfort.

Monday, 04 November 2024 08:11 AM The 2025 Yamaha XSR900 includes several technological advancements, such as new customizable Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) ride modes, a Back Slip Regulator to reduce rear wheel lock-up, and a new Yamaha Variable Speed Limiter. These features are designed to enhance the riding experience with more control and safety. I believe these tech upgrades will significantly improve the overall performance and safety of the bike.

Tuesday, 15 October 2024 07:33 PM Yamaha has also updated the XSR700 for 2024, although the changes are more subtle. The bike now features a new LED headlight, relocated indicators, and new Michelin Road 5 tires. The dashboard has been relocated above the headlight, and there are new fork settings and larger brake discs. I think these minor updates keep the XSR700 fresh without altering its classic appeal.

Friday, 20 September 2024 06:01 AM The 2024 Yamaha XSR700 retains its 689 cc twin-cylinder engine, producing 74.8 horsepower and 68 Nm of torque. The bike is known for its linear power delivery and agile response, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced riders. The ABS braking system and multifunctional digital instrument panel add to its safety and convenience.

Sunday, 25 August 2024 06:59 AM The XSR700 is praised for its combination of vintage style and modern performance. It features a round headlight, sculpted fuel tank, and flat seat, along with modern components like LED lighting and a digital instrument panel. The bikes ergonomics are designed for comfort and agility, with an upright seat and wide handlebars. I think this blend of old and new makes the XSR700 a unique and attractive option.

Tuesday, 30 July 2024 07:06 AM Yamahas XSR series, including the XSR700, is known for its customization capabilities. Owners can easily adapt the bike to their personal style with a wide range of accessories, from sports exhausts to aesthetic kits. This flexibility is a major draw for riders who want to personalize their bikes.

Saturday, 15 June 2024 07:14 AM The 2024 XSR900 features a 889 cc liquid-cooled 3-cylinder engine that produces high torque and a distinctive sound. The bikes fuel injection system increases efficiency, and the assist-and-slipper clutch matches the higher output of the EU5-compliant engine. I believe this engine setup makes the XSR900 a powerful yet playful ride.

Monday, 20 May 2024 06:00 PM Yamahas Faster Sons philosophy is evident in the XSR series, which combines the values and style of Yamahas past with todays technology. The XSR700, in particular, offers a neo-retro design that is both stylish and affordable, making it a compelling choice in the Sport Heritage segment.

Thursday, 25 April 2024 02:55 PM The XSR700 has been compared to other bikes in its class, such as the Kawasaki Z 650 RS and the Triumph Trident 660. Despite the competition, the XSR700 remains a popular choice due to its unique design, powerful engine, and advanced technologies. I think its retro charm and modern features set it apart from its rivals.

Friday, 15 March 2024 07:36 AM Yamaha has emphasized the importance of maintaining the classic look of the XSR series while incorporating modern technologies. The XSR700s design, including its round headlight and sculpted fuel tank, is inspired by 1970s motorcycles but includes contemporary touches like LED lighting and a digital instrument panel.

Discussions and Questions Yamaha XSR

Is the Yamaha XSR125 suitable for beginners?

17 April 2025 17:30

The Yamaha XSR125 is highly suitable for beginners due to its several key features. It boasts a comfortable upright riding position, mid-controls, and a relatively light weight of 302 pounds, making it easy to handle. The bike has a seat height of just over 32 inches, which is accessible for newer riders, and there is also an optional accessory package with a lowering link and lower seat for those with shorter inseams. The engine is a 124cc liquid-cooled single cylinder, producing 14.8 horsepower, which is purposefully unintimidating and fuel-efficient. Additionally, the bike features a six-speed gearbox, slim KYB forks, and a steel deltabox frame, all contributing to its nimbleness and stability. These characteristics, along with its stylish retro design and affordable price point , make the XSR125 an excellent choice for new riders.

Will the XSR300 be good for a beginner?

27 January 2025 10:16

I believe it will make a nice beginner bike. A newb should find the upright riding position just fine and the 300cc engine will be manageable. Also, it’ll be cool enough that you won’t feel like you’re riding a ‘learner’ bike.

Will the XSR300 carry the torch of the RD350?

27 January 2025 10:16

There's no way it'll live up to the RD350. That bike was lightning in a bottle, something special made at a special time, and it can’t be done today with all the modern restrictions. The RD350 will never have that raw, wild character, but the XSR300 might be good.

Submit an Answer

How customizable will the XSR300 be?

27 January 2025 10:16

Half the fun of owning a retro style bike is the amount of customization it allows for! The XSR300 will be designed accordingly and I’m sure that Yamaha knows this. I can't wait to see what people will do with it.

Is the Yamaha XSR300 worth the wait?

27 January 2025 10:16

It all depends on what you’re looking for. Maybe if you’re dead set on that retro Yamaha look and feel. However, the motorcycle market is moving so quickly that by the time it's out, there could be better options. Honestly.
