Yamaha XSR900 Abarth

Post by D6Nutz »

Just been chatting to a bloke in the carpark at work with one of these. Limited run of 695 bikes, with only about 50 coming to the UK.

Stunning looking bike in the flesh, and sounds amazing with the triple burbling through the akra cans.

To add to the wibble factor he had also thrown the rizoma catalog at it, all fluid pots, bar end mirrors, levers, grips, and I think rearsets.

Bad photos by me also...ImageImage

It's cool in a quirky way.

Like a Buell that actually runs is.

I like that, the tailpiece is a bit marmite, but looks as if it ought to have a jet pack where the rear light is. Very Flash Gordon. 8)
