Checked
One of nine VXR model years verified, which needs a check against the maker's own document, which the row names, and an engine figure; all nine name a source below.

Some Yamaha numbers are measured sizes rather than the number in the model name: a GP760 is held as 753, a GP1200R as 1131, a GP1300R as 1296. None of these figures has been checked against a Yamaha document unless a cited source states it.

Not your year? For other VXR years: VXR Pro (WRB700), 1993 to 1994.

2011 1812 Fuel injection Four-stroke Sit-down CORRECTED 2026-09-10: this file used to carry a 2010 VXR row. Yamaha's own press release of 1 November 2010 calls the VXR a 2011 new model, and Yamaha's own 2010 lineup page does not list it at all. The apparent conflict was never real: Yamaha's Japanese chronology indexes by on-sale date, December 2010, and its English page by model year, 2011. 1
