Yamaha VXR: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Yamaha VXR is a race-ready, lightweight personal watercraft designed to accommodate three riders. It emphasizes performance and control, featuring Yamaha's innovative Ride Control System, which enhances maneuverability and rider confidence. This model integrates advanced throttle technology and electronic systems to deliver a responsive and intuitive riding experience.

Ride Control Technology

At the core of the VXR's innovation is the Ride Control System, a computer-assisted digital control mechanism utilizing two throttles. The right throttle manages forward speed, while the left throttle controls reverse speed and deceleration. This dual-throttle setup allows riders to decelerate with the bow raised and to reverse without removing their hands from the handlebars, improving safety and ease of operation around docks and marinas. The Boat Control Unit (BCU) detects handlebar turns during deceleration and adjusts thrust accordingly for precise directional control. Additionally, the system includes a true neutral gear for enhanced control and safety.

Electronic Features and Instrumentation

The VXR is equipped with electronic power trim adjustment, controlled via thumb switches on the left handlebar, which adjusts the jet nozzle angle to control the bow position. A digital dashboard provides real-time information including gear position, RPM, speed, fuel level, and trim settings. Security is enhanced with an electronic remote fob that locks and unlocks the ignition and offers an engine limiter mode to reduce RPMs for less experienced riders.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

The VXR features a sleek, aerodynamic design with premium automotive metallic flake paint and a hull and deck constructed from Nano XL material, resulting in reduced overall weight. The footwells are spacious and lined with Hydra-Turf, providing a padded, non-skid surface. The seating is sculpted for a sporty fit using varied materials to maximize grip and comfort. A large rear platform facilitates easy water access and provides comfortable observer seating. The aft-facing seating area includes multiple handholds and a ski rope tow-eye positioned below the observer seat.

Maintenance Access and Storage

The VXR offers convenient maintenance access through removable seat sections. The aft seat lifts to reveal the battery and freshwater flush connection, while the front seat section provides access to the engine compartment and service points, including the oil dipstick, air filter, and oil filter. The 18.5-gallon fuel tank is located forward. Storage solutions include a watertight forward compartment with a locking, gasketed hood, a helm console storage area for small items and water bottles, and a rear storage compartment beneath the removable rear seat featuring a watertight container.

Dimensions and Specifications

The Yamaha VXR measures 131.9 inches in length overall with a beam of 48 inches and a dry weight of 767 pounds. It carries 18.5 gallons of fuel and is powered by a 1.8-liter, four-stroke, four-cylinder, electronically fuel-injected engine specifically designed for watercraft applications.

Performance and Handling

During on-water testing, the VXR demonstrated impressive acceleration, achieving 0 to 30 miles per hour in 1.8 seconds. The top speed recorded was 66.5 miles per hour at 7,400 RPM, with a fuel consumption rate of 13.1 gallons per hour at that speed. Noise levels were measured at 62 decibels at idle and 84 decibels at 20 miles per hour and 4,000 RPM. The craft exhibited exceptional stability and a sporty ride quality, attributes that, combined with the Ride Control System, make it well suited for avid riders seeking performance and control.
