What's up everyone, the 2018 Yamaha XSR700 just arrived at the shop and I am SO EXCITED. This is a new model in the Yamaha Sport Heritage series for 2018, and so far for me it checks off all of the boxes. Just like the Yamaha XSR900 from last year, this motorcycle takes the technology from an already amazing motorcycle in Yamaha's FZ series and adds vintage flavor.

The Yamaha XSR700 is based off of the awesome and popular Yamaha FZ-07 series that has been so popular the last couple of years. They took the innovative and minimalist frame, motor, swingarm, and suspension from the FZ-07 and then added vintage inspired upper pieces to give the bike a whole different look and feel...and it WORKS!
This is just a first look, I will do a full XSR700 ride and review soon. So far I love the #xsr700 just as much as I did the XSR900, way to go yamaha!
