Could the XSR300 bring back the 'Race Developed' spirit in everyday riding?
RD350 was a 'Race Developed' or 'RD' as it was known, being developed from Yamaha's racing program. The bike enjoyed a reputation for thrilling performance that could be enjoyed on public roads due to this heritage. With the XSR300 being slotted in as a spiritual successor, the question becomes whether or not it can bring that same race bred excitement to the modern, street legal package. Can a 300cc parallel twin provide the type of heart pounding acceleration and raw feel that made the RD350 so iconic? Has that racing spirit been diluted by a pursuit of refinement and emissions compliance? Now, let’s think about how the XSR300 would juggle performance, safety, and the expectations of today’s riders craving that ever elusive “Race Developed” feel in their everyday rides.
No way. Modern bikes are too sanitized. You can't get the raw, on the edge feeling of a two stroke with today's tech.
