Our take on this /// Verdict

The Yamaha XSR700 is a compelling package for those seeking a blend of retro styling and modern performance. With its 689cc parallel-twin engine, this bike delivers a snappy, low-end torque and a broad powerband that makes it versatile for both urban and sporty riding. The seating position is comfortably upright, and the bikes handling is agile and responsive, although it can be a bit tricky on bumpy roads due to the lack of damping adjustments on the rear shock. The updated front brakes with 298mm discs and Michelin Pilot Road 5 tires significantly enhance braking and grip. However, the clutch could be lighter, and the seat comfort is a bit lacking for longer rides. Overall, its a fun and capable bike that is well-suited for a variety of riding scenarios.

Price

The 2024 Yamaha XSR700 is expected to be priced around 7.50 lakh in India (ex-showroom). When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can escalate to around 8.5 lakh to 9 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing positions the XSR700 competitively against other mid-size naked bikes in the Indian market, such as the Honda CBR650F and the Kawasaki ER-6N. While it may seem a bit pricey compared to some of its competitors, the XSR700s unique blend of style, performance, and features justifies the cost for many enthusiasts.

Latest Updates

Wednesday, 23 October 2024 02:39 PM The 2024 Yamaha XSR700 has seen significant updates, including a new LED headlight and a repositioned round instrument panel with a reverse LCD display. The dual front brake discs have been increased to 298mm, and the bike now features Michelin Pilot Road 5 tires for improved grip and ride characteristics. This enhances both the safety and performance of the bike. I think these updates make the XSR700 a more appealing option for riders looking for a blend of classic style and modern tech.

Tuesday, 25 June 2024 02:41 PM Yamaha has maintained the XSR700s retro-inspired design, drawing influence from the classic 70s XS650. The bike features exposed aluminum details, retro-influenced bodywork, a stepped seat, and old-school round lighting and instrumentation. This design appeals to those who appreciate timeless style without sacrificing performance. I believe the XSR700s aesthetic is one of its strongest selling points.

Monday, 18 March 2024 05:30 AM The 2024 Yamaha XSR700 is powered by a robust 689cc liquid-cooled DOHC inline twin cylinder engine, known for its crossplane crankshaft concept. This engine provides a unique power character with outstanding low to mid-range torque and exhilarating high RPM pulling power. The bikes engine is praised for its responsive and linear throttle experience.

Monday, 18 March 2024 02:05 PM The XSR700 comes with a minimalist design that allows for extensive customization with aftermarket parts and accessories. This feature is particularly appealing to riders who want to personalize their motorcycle to reflect their individual style. The bike also includes a standard 12-month limited warranty, with an option for extended warranty coverage.

Monday, 18 March 2024 05:23 PM In terms of safety, the XSR700 is equipped with a standard antilock braking system (ABS) that prevents wheel lockup during hard braking, enhancing control and preventing accidental skids. This feature is particularly valuable for newer riders or those unfamiliar with the bikes handling.

Thursday, 15 February 2024 10:53 AM The 2024 Yamaha XSR700 is priced at around $8,899 in the US, but for the Indian market, it would likely be priced in the range of Rs. 7-8 lakhs, considering import costs and local taxes. This pricing makes it competitive with other middleweight motorcycles in the market. I think the XSR700 offers great value for its price.

Saturday, 20 January 2024 03:58 PM Yamaha has emphasized the XSR700s sport-oriented geometry and refined ergonomics, making it ideal for both urban landscapes and winding country roads. The bikes narrow frame design and 410-pound wet weight contribute to its light and nimble handling.

Sunday, 10 December 2023 04:42 PM The XSR700s engine, while not the most powerful in its class with 72 horsepower, is known for its torque-rich performance and accessible power delivery. This makes it an engaging ride for a broad spectrum of riders, from beginners to seasoned enthusiasts. I think the engines character is a big part of the bikes charm.

Saturday, 25 November 2023 11:42 PM Yamahas decision to keep the XSR700 relatively simple, with minimal electronic aids, has been praised by many riders who appreciate the raw riding experience. However, there are speculations that future models might include more advanced features like ride-by-wire throttle and riding modes.

Sunday, 15 October 2023 04:33 PM The XSR700s styling, which includes a heritage-inspired round LED headlight and retro-influenced bodywork, has been a key factor in its appeal. The bikes visual appeal is further enhanced by color options like matte black and Yamaha blue.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 11:19 AM The Yamaha XSR700 is certified to deliver a mileage of 23.1 kmpl, which is respectable for a bike in its class. This mileage, combined with its 14-liter fuel tank, makes it a viable option for daily commuting as well as occasional long rides. The fuel efficiency helps in keeping the running costs manageable, making it a practical choice for those concerned about mileage and overall cost of ownership.
