13 Questions Answered About The New 2022 Yamaha XSR900!

[@stubbingtonmarigold3032]

Not a beginner bike. Learn to throttle on something that will pull the wheel up if you mess up - NOT SNATCH THE BIKE OUT FROM UNDERNEATH YOU. Learn to judge your corner speed at 25 mph , not 60.....

[@motobob]

Yeah sorry I think I should have been more direct about that: Beginners Should Buy The 700. Pinned this comment for others to see 👍

[@garethsmith1436]

I bought an XSR900 after passing and have been on it for 3 years. I think it is a beginner bike so long as you aren't 22 and going to drive it like crazy. Its pretty easy to ride.

[@motobob]

@@garethsmith1436 good to hear! I guess that's what I was trying to say in the video - it massively depends on the rider.

[@Tijmen.W]

@@garethsmith1436 This, in my opinion, is spot on. I started riding a year ago. I'm 26 and have experience on dirtbikes. I started riding (manual shifted) mopeds at 16. Al this 'experience' helped me to develop myself a lot more/better than a 'real' beginner with 0 experience would have. I currently still own my first bike, a Yamaha FZ1-N with 150 horsepower. For me this is a great bike, but it's also not that good of a beginner bike imo. I also rode the MT-10, MT-09 and XSR-900 multiple times. The MT-10 was my bike of choice, but a bit to expensive at the time, that's why I bought the FZ1 instead. With all this said I think Gareth and MOTOBOB are absolutely right. And in addition to that I truly think riding experience on for example mopeds or dirtbikes can be a huge factor as well. For me the XSR-900 would be a perfect beginners bike, but of course it is not for everyone. Stay safe fellow motorcyclists! 🏍

[@delasse3178]

i started on a Ninja 1000, this bike seems like a piece of cake with all the driving aids and multiple modes. I didn't have power modes on my Ninja 1000, I just jumped right into it and had to take it a step at a time. Doing that with driving aids + modes isn't going to make it harder for a beginner, and, awkwardly enough, there's a whole lot of people buying liter bikes as their first bike. To be honest, if you're not going to be messing around right out of the box, it should be fine for a lot of adults with minimal riding experience. Though I recommend all people taking a riding course first regardless of what bike they are buying. Having an experienced rider teaching you precautionary measures, cornering and line of sight type of stuff is more prevantative than hopping on a 400 without a single class under your belt.

The xsr is good option on the big retro bike segment,. Design wise the previous bike looks much better compared to this new model. The front looks good but i am not a big fan how the bike looks from the rear section particularly the seat design😐👎👎. the old bike still looks more pleasing and proper retro. Apart from the design everything is nice on this bike it has very good engine that has impressive performance and sound, good features.yes its retro designed MT09, still it manages to standup against its competition, Overall this new XSR 900 is a bike for those who wants to ride solo.

[@GIGABACHI]

That miniscule headlight and BREAD LOAF seat. Proportions ALL over the place. 👎😒🤮 Otherwise, a perfect motorcycle. 👍

[@yoog]

I feel this gen is not quite as classic retro as the previous gen. It's more 80s looking and I feel it's still good looking.

[@camerongeater5404]

No heritage???? Yamaha has a rich heritage of building race and race-inspured machines! This bike in particular was designed using the FZR750 OW-01 race bike as reference, including the blue paint! I personally like this design language of thoroughly modern bikes, that are very clearly inspired by old bikes without outright trying to imitate them.

[@g0ral]

i think this bike is hideous, but as always time will tell. if yamaha find buyers then there will be more ugly bikes. if not we will see facelift next year

Jeeees …Yamaha you really need to sack the seat designer.. 1st the non existent seat on the tenere now this nightmare, most of the XSR buying punters will be wanting some padding on their old arses!🧌

I'd say Yamaha's headlight designer needs replacing first.

[@funguseater40]

I just dropped a deposit on one, so this is very useful information cheers👍. As for the seat, I'll see how it goes but a decent seat upholsterer could add an inch to the pad and that would take some of the rear depth down, although I like the looks. One question, does it come with a USB connector? 👍

You can get one as an accessory or part of a pack.

Hmm define 'retro'... doesn't really conjure up anything old, like the original RD350. It does have a vague resemblance to a RD350LC in Candy Blue, but it's a big stretch. That seat is ugly, no matter what, first order of business is building a replacement.

[@Unkownktm]

No reference to longer swing arm which changes the ride a lot from previous model?

[@peterkoning21]

How ould this bike oe out of the fatory with that UGLY seat ?????????

[@Cinoism]

Back when I was younger, people my age went with 600cc or 1000cc supersport. All of us survived motorcycling. Maybe because in Asia, we have been riding scooters and dirt bikes years before getting on supersport. I think XSR900 is fine especially when it has wheelie control.

[@Pmor75]

If one has to carry a passenger frequently the Z900rs is the better option....For a single rider this one is better or at least promises more fun...

[@josh_ari]

The saddle, shape-wise is great. scooped to keep the rider in place, and puts the passenger up high for a better view. I'm sick of people ragging on the aesthetics of the saddle. However, it is a shame it is so hard and too narrow.

[@fatsafrenchie]

[@martinrollins4471]

really nice bike but think i prefer the looks of my 80s black xsr.some of the upgrades are obviously good thing but the seat and exhaust really do need looking at .

2016 Aniversary yellow ones are the best ones Hit like if you agree with me

[@essexhognose1808]

I don't think the seat is the worst, bit bulky but has the 80's shape and lines to it. Maybe a cowl would break up the large black upholstery. I do however believe that exhaust is far far worse looking from most angles?

[@g0ral]

whoever in yamaha agreed for this stock exhaust is either evil or blind

[@CriticalRider]

Take it with a grain of salt, though. I've seen the MT-09 and the Tracer 9 in person (both have the same exhaust as this) and it's barely visible in real life, it's tucked down there. These videos never do justice to bike designs because they're never shot at eye level, cameras are always low and the look is different from down there.

[@Surbatron]

Wish they'd put a square headlight on this for the authentic 90s streetfighter look. That round plastic waste paper basket looks properly rubbish on this otherwise awesome looking machine...

[@olivervillamar1467]

I love my xsr 900 2023 yesterday I just hit 145 mph for the first time. Will see what happens with a new exhaust.

[@iodineclip]

does it feels more powerful than the z900rs?

I think the throttle response is quite a bit better. And it’s a lot lighter. So even tho it’s only 8hp more or something it feels much more lively to me. Would like to ride them back to back tho

[@busboy3232]

To me it looks like its been dropped so buddy couldnt afford to replace the fairings then he decided to make it a cafe racer. To much mix match going on. Get a Royal Enfield or Triumph if you want that cafe/vintage look.

[@busboy3232]

@@TDB7117 Got 35000km's on my RE interceptor already..Running great.

[@wedie2soon]

@@busboy3232 this bike is not trying to be a cafe bike. It's an 80's, Moto GP inspired bike--and it's lines echoes back to those times. The Yamaha has better reliability and much easier to get serviced, as well. Cheaper and easier to find parts for, also. And the thrill/speed factor by far exceeds that of a 50 horsepower Royal Enfield. I do like the looks of the R.E. GT continental, though. This bike looks much better in the all black paint scheme. Looks a bit like a road warrior bike.

[@veeken777]

Tested this today, Gr8 except for the rock hard and to much forward seat. The 2021 is better in that regard. I suggest for taller riders to tilt handlebars forward about 5 inches so ya arse doesnt keep hitting that stupid rear bump. Im trying the MT09sp Tomorrow. But will probably take the Ducati Scramble 800 Icon in Yellow. 110mph and sooo comfy. And way cheaper and classy looking.

The bike looks great, except the seat. The seat throws me off, and doesn't seem to match the bike.

[@ReezMotovlog]

Beginners = No/little riding experience Advance beginners = Have riding experience / riding on a low CC bike (50cc/150cc/300cc, etc.) I hope more reviewers would include this distinction in their review video because the classification is somewhat important to avoid confusion. I myself consider as an advance beginner, been riding for almost 2 years on my 250cc bike. Recently bought the MT-09 2022, and I have no problem handling the bike even on Mode-1.

They need Yamaha 1200 XSR Scrambler VS Triumph 1200 Scrambler ABS. - Nissin brakes VS Brembo (Europe) - KYB suspension VS Öhlins They did not need XSR900, Z800, Z900, Z1000, Harley Davidson Street 500 and 750. 180cm male is all most need 1200cc+, Not 500cc Banana Motorcycle

[@Firestorm637]

IS IT A BEGINNER BIKE QUESTION. A 100 horsepower 400 pound bike is different from a 100 horsepower 700 pound bike. Many inexpensive beginner bikes are air cooled low horsepower bikes. Liquid cooled bikes might be twice the horsepower for the same cc’s. A 125cc A air cooled Grom weighs 250’pounds and 8 horsepower. In contrast, a liquid cooled YZ 85 is 24 horsepower and 150 pounds. Is a beginner with minimal experience with a clutch? Heavier bikes are tough for beginners. Too much horsepower is tough for beginners. Rider aids like stability control(cornering abs, corners TC) are great safety items for beginners and experienced riders. High seat heights can be a challenge as one leg vs 2 leg, flat foot or not. If you can ride your present bike 100% in all situations, you are definitely ready for a larger bike. Take the time to ride a smaller bike well before moving to another bike that your afraid of. Some of these powerful bikes are not much fun keeping less than quarter throttle as triple digits appear too fast.
