Yamaha secures XSR GP designation

Yamaha has applied to the European Intellectual Property Office for the rights to the name “XSR GP”. They seem to be preparing a special model of the XSR.

 

Exactly what Yamaha has in mind is as yet completely unknown. An upgraded version of the XSR 900, with higher quality components and increased sportiness, would be possible.

Very likely would be an XSR 900 with partial fairing in retro style, as exemplified by the Triumph Speed Triple RR or the Honda Hawk 11. Thus one could serve the current trend of the Retro sports.

Since there is no number in the name designation to indicate a displacement size or a specific model, it could theoretically also be an XSR700 or even an XSR1000, although that is probably somewhat less likely.
