2015 Yamaha XV950 Racer launched
A sporty lean-forward riding position and some other unique features characterise Yamaha's new XV950 Racer.
Helping to achieve a retro café racer look are clip-on handlebars, a headlight cowl, rear-set footrests and a single seat unit. A pair of aluminium side panels are fitted too.

Also part of the specification is a revised suspension set-up that offers extra travel compared to a regular XV950's. Furthermore, the front fork gains protective gaiters while the rear benefits from twin piggyback gas dampers.
One component that's unchanged is the 942 cc air-cooled V-twin engine. It still produces 51 bhp (38 kW / 52 PS) with 79 Nm (58 lb/ft) of peak torque and comes connected to a five-speed transmission.
A UK price for the XV950 Racer has yet to be announced, but Yamaha has confirmed that buyers will have a choice of Glacier Blue or Matt Grey paintwork.
