Official Yamaha distributor Hong Leong Yamaha Malaysia has announced the availability of the CBU 2016 Yamaha XV950CR cafe racer in the local market. Priced at RM55,000 including GST, this street-cruiser comes in a style reminiscent of American flat-tracker race bikes.
Adorned in Yamaha’s racing colours of yellow, black and white, the 2016 XV950CR carries a 942 cc air-cooled, four-valve V-twin that puts out 52.1 PS at 5,500 rpm and 79.5 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm. Fuelling is taken care of by EFI, and power gets to the ground via a five-speed gearbox and belt final drive.
Based on the standard Yamaha XV950R Bolt, the XV950CR cafe racer comes with a single-seat, with the rear seat covered by a removable race cowling. A metal finish number plate acts as a side-cover, and a small fly-screen surrounds the headlight, while the front fork is covered with rubber boots in the retro-racer style.
The 2016 Yamaha XV950CR cafe racer is available at authorised Yamaha dealers, and retails for RM55,000, including GST, and excluding registration, road tax and insurance. The standard Yamaha XV950R Bolt retails for approximately RM52,500 and is only available in matte grey.

HD rival. Good option for easy rider type. Maybe the exhaust can be improved by chrome coated. Thanks Yamaha bring this baby to our shores…
Still have to wait beneath the bridge during the rain. Get a car!
Damn that price point. They’re obviously targeting Ducati Scrambler buyers. But I’d still go with the Ducati because of the glorious air cooled V-twin.
Very true. Ducati scrambler looks a lot more better.
I do not understand why motorcycle in Malaysia can be so expensive. Whose pockets are we filling up?
The dealer’s and manufacturer’s. Dun be stupid and compare this with kapcai. Its like comparing Saga and Perdana, then complain why Perdana much much more expensive even though oso got 4 wheels like Saga
Ya true john straight to the point …. good questions
Sorry is milobun
Exciting stuff.
Mohan, please do a comprehensive ride experience on this bike!
A cruiser converted to a café racer. Yamaha could have put more effort into the chassis rather than adding a café racer style single seat and slapping it with retro graphics. Rear is too low. Still looks very much like a XV Bolt cruiser after all.
It is the Bolt
yahama Malaysia, if you see this, I’m still waiting for any news on the XSR900
Why Yamaha not production water cooled for this bike?
Malaysia are hot wheather country!
