Yamaha Xsr700

The Yamaha Xsr700 has a top speed of 180 km/h (est.), produces 73 hp and weighs 186 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.

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, partageant son cadre Deltabox et ses composants de châssis tout en offrant un look plus classique inspiré du Scrambler. La XSR700 a été bien accueillie dans le monde entier pour sa puissance accessible, sa maniabilité légère et son style intemporel qui séduisent à la fois les pilotes débutants et expérimentés.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

🔧

Rock-Solid MT-07 Engine

The XSR700 shares its 689cc parallel-twin engine with the proven MT-07, a motor renowned for exceptional reliability with minimal reported mechanical failures. Routine maintenance is straightforward and affordable, making ownership costs very manageable.

⚠️

Watch the Throttle Bodies

Some owners report throttle body synchronization issues causing rough idling or uneven power delivery, particularly on higher-mileage bikes. A simple throttle body sync during a service visit typically resolves this completely.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The XSR700 holds its value unusually well compared to competitors, thanks to its retro styling appeal and Yamaha's strong brand reputation. Used examples often sell for close to original asking price, especially in clean condition.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion

8.5/10
Idéal pour
Experienced riders wanting engaging, no-nonsense naked fun

"One of the smartest used buys in the middleweight naked class."

$5,500-$8,500 used

The XSR700 is essentially an MT-07 wearing a café racer costume, and that's not a criticism — it's exactly why you should consider one. The CP2 parallel-twin is genuinely brilliant: punchy from 4,000rpm, smooth enough for commuting, mental enough above 8,000rpm to keep you grinning. Yamaha built something honest here. No gimmicks, no rider modes, just a well-sorted chassis that communicates clearly and forgives mistakes without feeling dull. Used examples stack up well. The engine is famously bulletproof if serviced correctly — check the service history religiously and listen for any top-end rattles on cold start. Rear shock is the weak link on older bikes; budget £200-300 for an aftermarket unit if it hasn't been replaced. Ergonomics suit medium-height riders perfectly but taller guys will want bar risers eventually. Avoid anything that's been dropped hard — check the subframe carefully around the pillion pegs.
