The Yamaha XS360 was Yamaha’s first four-stroke engined motorccyle in the small segment and was among the earliest to be factory-fitted with alloy rims, and a rear disc-brake. The design follows the line set by the XS500, however it is clearly different at the tail.
It became a short-lived model since it soon was to be replaced with the bigger bored and 4hp stronger XS400, witch earned some popularity in Germanys 27hp insurance-class. Though different in outer looks, is the engine remarkably identical with the some older Honda CB360 Twin.
