At the heart of the 2024 Yamaha XSR900 classic motorcycle, Yamaha utilizes a 890 cc (54.3 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 119 HP (86.9 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 93 Nm (68.6 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 133.7 HP per liter and a 3,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (10,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the XSR900 measures 193 kg (425 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.62 HP/kg (1.62 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,495 mm (58.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.8 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 292 km (181 miles) between fill-ups.
