Yamaha reveal new 2027 XSR900 colourway inspired by pink YZF750R

With excellent handling on any type of road, the XSR900 feels right at home on long straights and the winding roads every rider dreams of. Equipped with a modern suite of electronic systems, it offers the rider exceptional control in any situation. Thanks to the sporty Quick Shift System (QSS) and cruise control, you can ride exactly how you want on this powerful 3-cylinder machine.

Yamaha have revealed a spectacular new colour option for the 2027 XSR900, with new graphics inspired by the pink Yamaha YZF750R of the mid-1990s.

The retro-styled naked triple keeps its existing 890cc CP3 triple engine and mechanical package unchanged for 2027, with the update focused entirely on styling.

The new scheme uses a silver chassis set against a white base, paired with pink accents and blue detailing on the tank and side panels – a direct homage to the pink-liveried YZF750R that Yamaha say “inspired a generation of riders” at the time.

The XSR900 will be offered in two colours for 2027: this new livery, badged Neon White, alongside the existing Midnight Black option. Yamaha have not yet confirmed UK pricing or availability.

Beneath the new paint, the XSR900 remains mechanically identical to the current model. That means the same 890cc liquid-cooled CP3 triple, a lightweight aluminium Deltabox-style frame, KYB suspension, radial-mount brakes and a six-axis IMU-based electronics package with multiple ride modes, traction control, slide control, lift control and a quickshifter.

Autonews own review of the current XSR900 praised it as “very hard to fault” as a road bike, awarding it 4 out of 5 stars; it’s currently priced from £11,104 in the UK, making 118bhp from its CP3 engine.

Chassis and handling...The XSR900 features a lightweight Deltabox-style chassis and a long swingarm. This design aims to combine stability with agility. Its sporty foundation is complemented by high-quality suspension and powerful brakes.

Frame: Diamond-type

Front suspension: Telescopic fork

Rear suspension: Link-type suspension with swingarm

Front brakes: Dual 298 mm discs

Rear brake: Single 245 mm disc

Front tire: 120/70 ZR17

The combination of a lightweight chassis, sporty wheel sizes, and high-quality suspension makes the XSR900 well-suited for a dynamic riding style. At the same time, the model remains focused on versatile road use.

Electronics and rider aids...Although its styling pays homage to Yamaha's heritage, the XSR900 is equipped with modern electronic assistance. Various rider aids help the rider harness the available performance in a controlled manner.

Standard equipment includes integrated riding modes, cruise control, and the Quick Shift System. Additionally, the XSR900 features advanced electronic rider aids and a 5-inch color TFT display with smartphone connectivity.

The dashboard provides the rider with access to key riding information and connected features. This ensures the technology meets modern expectations without compromising the motorcycle's classic character. Design: a modern interpretation of Yamaha's racing heritage
