Yamaha XV950R For Sale

Insurance Costs: 5 of 10

Current Prices: £8,400–£4,050

What Is It?

The Yamaha XV950R is an A2 licence friendly cruiser style bike and is powered by an air-cooled 942 cc 60° V-Twin engine, producing 51 bhp at 5,500 rpm and maximum torque at just 3,000 rpm. The engine, from the XVS950 Midnight Star, is a stressed member of the frame and the air intake is on the right side of the engine adding to the retro looks.

Features include:

Steel tubular frame with belt final drive
298 mm wavy disc up front with two piston caliper
298 mm disc at the rear with single piston caliper
ABS system
41 mm KYB fork with 135 mm travel
Dual rear KYB shocks with 110 mm travel
2->1 exhaust system
LED tail light, LCD dash
Self cancelling indicators
5 speed gearbox

Compared to the standard XV950 you get better piggyback rear shocks, a buckskin covered seat, tank graphics and ABS as standard. The 12-spoke 19" front wheel takes a 100/90 tyre and the rear 16" a 150/80.

Accessories include the Akrapovic slip-on mufflers (£580), mini fairing (£289), stiletto seat (£253), bobber seat (£451), steel braided brake lines (£63), cool vintage style performance air cleaner, spoked wheels, leather panniers (£388) and LED indicators (£52).

2014-2015: Grey, green
2016-2017: Blue, grey
2018-2020: Black/grey

2015: XV950 Racer is the same bike but gets you the flyscreen, fork covers, lower front indicators, lower clip-on bars, a 75 mm higher seat, Aluminium side panels and pillion seat hump / cover.

2017: SCR950 is a scrambler style XV950R with a flat seat, wire spoked wheels (17" at the back), fork covers, taller braced handlebars and higher rear mudguard.
