YAMAHA SCR950 & XSR900 Motocrossers would definitely relate to the fatbar handlebars and then to the distinctly sat-on rather than sit-in ride position. And its roomy cockpit: seat, ‘bars and footrests all suit a taller rider nicely. And the motocross rider would definitely relate to the instantaneous power delivery, which feels immediate, much like a 450 ‘crosser does. It’s a potent, playful package. This test model came fitted with an optional Akrapovic exhaust – a brand often found in off-road – and so it played a nice melody, not too loud but attention-grabbing, so you’re alert to the beast-within from the get-go. We started out in the sharpest, raciest of the three rider modes that you can choose from (simply called ‘A’) and it was lively. In the London traffic too lively, as it brings the power in hard and fast. Why was it too much? Well, this is no modestlypowered middleweight, it’s clearly borrowing tech from its Big Bro, the R1, as this motor has the same crossplanecrank concept motor, and at 850cc it is virtually three-quarters of an R1, and so it pumps, very easily, a claimed 115bhp – double that of the SCR950 and then some. So it’s a very real hotrod of a bike when you want it to be, and especially in Mode A. In Standard ride mode the whole plot is fortunately a lot more controllable and yet just as exciting as you’re inclined to play with it more. The third mode, ‘B’, feels like a rain setting and it really lowers the whole game, maybe it’s something like a learner restricted output too, because it feels drastically restrictive. For us Standard is just right. There’s so much joy in this bike, though. It feels alert and capable and reassuring. You’re a sharper, keener rider on the XSR900. Snappier too, for like the SCR950 it attracts public attention – it is a bit of a looker, on the quiet. This thing has modern brakes or nearly-modern, they look to be of the Sumitomo ‘blue spot’ four-piston caliper type we used to see on R1s w www.rustsports.com 25
