Overview
Yamaha XV 950R
Yamaha have unveiled their new
custom bobber duo, the 2014/15 XV950R and XV950, both of which get styling
inspired by Yamaha bikes of the 1980s and a 942cc air-cooled fuel-injected
8-valve V-twin that produces 80Nm of torque at 3,000rpm. Compact and stylish,
with a low seat height, the XV950 models deliver a refined and agile ride.
Yamahas unique flat line style and use of exposed metal components accentuates
the bikes pure simplicity while the V-twin motor provides both spirited
performance and unquestioned reliability,
. Stripped back and stylish, the XV950 model provides a perfect entry into the world of customisation while the XV950R injects a further element of sporting ability with twin piggy back shock absorbers, a buckskin-look seat cover and the use of a painted stripe along the fuel tank, it adds.
While the Yamaha XV950 and XV950R certainly look a few decades old, they do get a few modern bits LED rear lamp, anti-lock brakes, ceramic composite plating inside the cylinder, forged aluminum pistons, new 3D maps for the ignition timing and fuel-injection, LCD instrument panel and a 2-into-1 exhaust system that fully noise and emissions norms compliant. With its double-cradle steel frame, 41mm forks, adjustable twin rear shocks, 298mm brake discs (both front and rear), 19-inch (front) and 16-inch (rear) wheels, and a newly designed belt-drive system that uses a carbonfibre core for improved rigidity, the XV950 is an interesting mix of the old and the new. Also, a range of accessories being offered by Yamaha Akrapovic slip-on exhaust, mini-fairing, stiletto seat, stainless steel brake lines, performance air cleaner cover, wire-spoke wheels, and springer seat and fork cover etc will probably ensure that XV950 buyers will be able to customize their machines the way they want.
