Exposed underpinnings give the XSR900 a retro look that’s common in the standard class, but that isn’t a criticism—this is a handsome bike. It’s powered by a revvy 847 cc, 3-cylinder engine that easily triggers wheelies. It’s also equipped with powerful brakes, an assistant-and-slipper clutch, and adjustable front and rear suspension. These features and others make this bike one of the most entertaining standards in recent memory.
