Yamaha has revealed a new XSR900 SP through a filing with the US NHTSA. The bike shares its 890cc inline-triple CP3 engine and 117.4hp output with the standard XSR900, but is said to be under consideration for a premium chassis package akin to the MT-09 SP, including DLC-coated forks, an Ohlins rear shock and Brembo brakes. It's expected to arrive as a 2027 model in the US.
