Yamaha Motor Europe entered the beach race at Margate Beach in the UK with the XSR900 GP and XSR900, and came away with a podium finish. Riders tore up and down a quarter-mile straight, spinning up the rear and kicking up sand to the crowd's delight — an unusual outing for production neo-retro machines.

The setting itself - a beach instead of a racetrack - is already so moving. Competing for speed, yet with a festival-like atmosphere somehow. The combination of the XSR900's looks with kicked-up sand is a fantastic image.

Sliding the rear the whole way on a beach, crashing would hurt, but it's fun to watch.

A quarter-mile there and back. Spinning the rear on a road bike kicking up sand, that setup's ridiculous.

How far is a quarter mile exactly...?

Margate's beach-race culture, great that Europe still has this kind of thing around.

The XSR900 GP on a beach, afterward the whole bike and engine's gonna be caked in sand, gonna cry...

That's just something you accept, it's a festival, don't sweat the details.

A production neo-retro XSR900 tearing through the beach to a podium is way too great.
