Overview
Yamaha XV 950 Racer
Yamaha have added one more machine to their 'Sport Heritage'
range - the new XV950 Racer. The bike is powered by Yamaha's 942cc air-cooled
60-degree V-twin that produces a mere 52bhp and 79Nm of torque. Forged aluminium
clip-on handlebars, new switchgear, rearset footrests, short and low chassis,
singe seat, side number plates, Akrapovic exhaust and racy ergonomics complete
the package. Yamaha claim that the XV950 Racer's suspension has been newly
developed for better handling. Available colours include blue and matt gray.
Seat height is now 765mm, 75mm higher than the standard XV950 and XV950R models, and according to Yamaha, the new ergonomics have helped to centralise mass for improved handling.
As well as a new cover fitted to the steel rear fender and a headlight surround, the Racer has new switchgear, different levers, and newly positioned indicators mounted on the lower triple clamp.
The front and rear suspension has also been developed specifically for the bike, offering more travel than the standard models.
