Yamaha Xsr 700

The Yamaha Xsr 700 has a top speed of 180 km/h (est. — note: manufacturer does not officially publish top speed), produces 75 hp and weighs 186 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.2/10.

La Yamaha XSR700 a été introduite en 2016 dans le cadre de la gamme « Sport Heritage » de Yamaha, alliant l'esthétique rétro d'un café-racer à une technologie de performance moderne. Il est construit autour du moteur bicylindre parallèle éprouvé de la MT-07, héritant de son ordre d'allumage à 270 degrés pour une conduite pleine de caractère et de couple. La XSR700 a rapidement gagné en popularité en Europe et au-delà en proposant un ensemble néo-rétro accessible, élégant et polyvalent à un prix compétitif.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

🔧

Battle-Tested Engine

The XSR700 shares its 689cc parallel-twin engine with the MT-07, one of Yamaha's most proven and reliable platforms. This means a massive parts supply, well-documented maintenance history, and mechanics familiar with the motor worldwide.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The XSR700 holds its value exceptionally well due to high demand and limited depreciation in the retro-modern segment. Used models typically sell for 80-90% of their original price within the first two years.

⚠️

Watch the Exhaust Headers

A known cosmetic issue on used XSR700s is discoloration and minor corrosion on the exhaust headers, especially on bikes not regularly ridden. Always inspect the headers and check for any signs of oil leaks around the cylinder head gasket on higher-mileage units.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion

8.2/10
Idéal pour
Experienced riders wanting style without reliability compromise

"A genuinely excellent used buy if you inspect carefully first."

$5,500-$7,500 used

The XSR700 is essentially an MT-07 wearing a cafe racer costume, and that's genuinely not a bad thing. You're getting one of the best middleweight parallel twins ever made — smooth, torquey, and bulletproof reliable — wrapped in retro styling that actually holds up. The CP2 engine pulls hard from 3,000rpm and never feels stressed, which matters when you're threading through traffic on a bike you bought secondhand and don't fully trust yet. Used examples are plentiful and generally well-treated. These attract riders who care about aesthetics, so most are garage-kept with sensible mileage. Watch for cosmetic mods gone wrong — repainted tanks, aftermarket exhausts that drone at motorway speeds, and dodgy bar-end swaps. Check the fork seals and brake fluid condition; both get neglected on bikes ridden occasionally by style-conscious owners. The seat gets firm on longer rides and the mirrors vibrate badly above 70mph — two things you'll need to address immediately.
