The new Yamaha model announced on October 28 with the phrase "THE KING IS BACK" was the "XSR900 GP" in the US Inter colors reminiscent of the "YZR500" and "YZR750" that Kenny Roberts, aka "The King," used to ride.
Adoption of "Legendary Yellow," inspired by the "US Intercolor
Yamaha's Sport Heritage Series pays tribute to the most iconic Yamaha riders and machines of past eras, while at the same time offering riders the latest engine, chassis, and design technology. The XSR900 GP is the flagship model of the series and is inspired by Yamaha's champion machines from the golden era of Grand Prix racing, resulting in a breathtakingly beautiful machine.
The new "Legend Yellow" color is reminiscent of the YZR500, which was ridden by King Kenny in the WGP.
The lightweight 200 kg chassis and the sporty riding position created by the separate handlebars are reminiscent of the "racer replicas" of yesteryear.
The 2026 XSR900 GP will feature an upper cowl reminiscent of the "golden era" of Grand Prix racing in the 1980s.
The passenger seat is fitted with a seat cover that matches the body color and, combined with the 1980s-style angular rear end design, completes the racer look.
The yellow base with white lines and black "strobe lines" will be a tribute to the "US Intercolors".
The wheels are also painted gold, similar to the "YZR500" of the time. An undercowl to match this color would also be a great option.
The exhaust system does not have a conventional silencer, giving the side view a compact appearance.
It has more advanced equipment than the "YZR500" of the time, including a delta box frame and inverted forks. The black "GP" letters on the upper cowl stand out against the yellow color.
The white paint on the front view is reminiscent of a number plate. The rear view's compact tail design creates a racer image.
A 5-inch full-color TFT display. The user can choose from four different display themes inspired by the racing bikes of yesteryear, including an analog-style tachometer.
The CP3 engine, Yamaha's pride and joy, is a parallel three-cylinder engine that combines the latest Yamaha technologies, including an R1-derived six-axis IMU, cruise control, a third-generation quickshifter, and an A&S clutch.
The side panels under the seat are secured with racing-style D-ring fasteners. The suspension is fully adjustable front and rear and is made by KYB.
The lightweight aluminum wheels, painted gold, are shod with high-grip Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23s.
