Yamaha has teamed up with Fiat’s performance tuning division Abarth for this new XSR900 Abarth limited edition, which was showcased at the 2016 EICMA. A part of Yamaha’s Heritage Sports line-up, the XSR900 is the brand’s cafe-racer take on the regular FZ-09.
While the Yamaha FZ-09 sports a more edgy design, the XSR900 comes with a retro classic design. The 3-cylinder 850cc Crossplane motor makes 115PS of power. Yamaha has still not revealed the pricing of the XSR900 Abarth. However, only 695 units will be available once launched in 2017 in two phases.
