August 10, 20169 yr Hello, Just want to share an unofficial News. I had a chat with Yamaha customer service and asked about the New Yamaha XSR Models. I have been told that Yamaha Thailand is already working on it to bring these models to the Thai Market. I dont have any Dates but they used the word "soon".
August 10, 20169 yr $9490 for std. colour I read ....so about 300,000 baht plus all that import duty here. Shame it will end up at god knows what... 450/500k? Mate in Oz just bought a Yamaha bolt, 409k here, less than 300k in Oz. Nice looking bike though this XSR900. However Ill wait a while to see if the Z900RS comes into play maybe 2018 (and when Ive got the spondoolies to chuck at a nice big toy).
August 10, 20169 yr Its a nice looking bike to add to the 850cc triples family - now the FZ09/MT09, FJ09, and XSR900......... I wonder if we will see the SCR950 too!

Yes, Thai Import Duty is so bad. If it would contribute the countries roads itself it would be okay. But since a big amount just lands in the pockets of the high ranking officers its just a big shame.
August 10, 20169 yr Motorcycle Thailand already posted the Thai/English parts catalog and free to download English Owner’s manual, which mains that the Yamaha XSR900 is actually coming. One of the editors I connected replied that tomorrow Motorcycle Thailand will reveal more information…
August 11, 20169 yr Not a pretty bike! But if it starts everytime, performs well and is reliable I guess we can overlook the styling.
August 12, 20169 yr In Thailand MT-09 is 400 K THB in Europe, The difference between MT-09 & XSR900 is 1.5K eur so, the price for the XSR900 will be between 460k-500k THB

August 15, 20169 yr YES made in France for the XSR700, the market is for Europe but for the XSR900, i dont know...maybe made in Japan or ?
August 18, 20169 yr Was looking at one in the Yamaha agents showroom here in Singapore a couple of Months ago. I like the tank, it reminds me of RD250/350LC. Apart from that I wasn't overly impressed, probably cos I had just been drooling over a new MT-10. Still prefer the looks of the MT-09.

If it is coming to Thailand there has to be a Japanese production line. The Thai - Japan FTA is the reason Japanese made bikes are now here at relatively reasonable prices. There is no EU - Thailand FTA covering motorbikes. This has reminded me of Honda's very economical CBF 1000F which is/was only made in Italy. Needless to say, it never came to Thailand.

The CBF 1000 F is aimed at quite a different type of rider (someone like me!) who wants a bike set up for longer distance riding with greater comfort and smoother power delivery. Alas, never to be in Thailand.
