SCR 950

2018 Yamaha SCR 950 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Yamaha for the classic motorcycle segment, the 2018 Yamaha SCR 950 relies on a 942 cc (57.5 cu in) v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 51.4 HP (37.5 kW) at 5,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 79.5 Nm (58.6 lb-ft) at 8,100 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 54.6 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the SCR 950 measures 252 kg (556 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.2 HP/kg (4.9 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,575 mm (62 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 260 km (162 miles) between fill-ups.
