Retro and neo retro bikes have seen a big trend of customization. Riders sometimes want to make changes to their machine to suit their personal style or to increase performance. Yamaha’s XSR series has generally been built with customization in mind, with easily removable body panels and a modularity philosophy. This method is simple to modify and supports aftermarket support. But how much customisation can you have on the XSR300 remains to be seen. The scope of modifications can be limited due to factors like complexity of modern electronics, emissions regulations, safety standards and so on. Also, aftermarket parts for a new model are not necessarily available and cheap right away. Buyers are probably wondering how much they can make the XSR300 their own, and if Yamaha will have customization options available officially or work with aftermarket manufacturers.
