2017 Yamaha Xvs 950 Xr-A - Scr 950 V Twin EU4 Black Motorcycle Cruiser Petrol 950 cc; crossing motorway bridge in Greater Manchester, UK
A chassis and engine borrowed from a cruiser; the SCR does. It has an identical steel tube frame, 41mm forks, short-travel twin rear shocks, single front disc and the same 942cc, 51bhp air-cooled 60° V-twin as the XV950, XV950R and XV950 Racer series. To give the SCR package a scrambler’s looks, a new rear subframe lifts the 950’s flat seat height to a more conventional 830mm over the XV’s laid-low 690mm, and new bars and pegs straighten up the SCR’s riding position into what is a comfy, natural, uncomplicated stance. Wire-spokes on aluminium rims (with aforementioned Bridgestone Trail Wing tyres), a slim 13-litre fuel tank, steel mudguards and number boards on the side panels complete the SCR950’s scrambler image. But after 80 or so miles of thumping, thudding, clonking and scraping Yamaha’s new street scrambler along a mixture of twisting Mediterranean roads and loose gravel trails, two things are crystal clear: firstly, Yamaha couldn’t build a dull bike if they tried and, secondly, the SCR950 is a pretty basic machine.
