Interestingly, I rode the new XSR900 and MT10 SP (new gen) the same day back to back. MT10 SP was first and I noticed it was massively better than the old gen. For reference, I test rode the old gen twice and didn't like it at all. The new gen has much better tech, cool intake noise, comfortable, SP suspension felt good, up/down quickshifter was nice but still felt heavy and cumbersome to me. Hopped on the XSR900 and everything felt tighter and more direct. More playful, less bulky, still very comfortable, stock exhaust has a nice note to it, tech just as good as the MT10, and I liked the look better. Outside of the additional power and possibly a little more comfort for long distance touring, I saw no reason to go for the MT10 over the XSR900.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

XSR isn't under-powered. And with that bombshell: money is saved on tires, insurance, fuel, oil, potentially service costs. I bet some aftermarket upgrades are going to cost less, like a header pipe. There's about one 1L naked bike that rides the ragged edge of diminished returns for cost, that being the GSX-S1000. Everything else (MT-10, etc) cost a LOT more to get that 5%-of-the-time thrill when the cops aren't looking.

[@rosco950ss7]

Great comparison Chase. Its good to see two different bikes being discussed and compared. Too often Reviewers only compare bikes in the identical class. I was looking at an MT10 or a Ducati Supersport 950s completely different machines. was a hard choice and I still wish I had both!

[@TylerCharest]

Great video and thoughts, as usual! The windscreen on the MT-10 and the storage are game changers. I love the looks of the XSR, but for a daily rider I'd agree that the MT-10 is the way to go.

I have owned my stock MT10 for nearly 2 years and absolutely love it, been a massive seller for Yamaha here in the UK, however as you stated the lighter flickable XSR 900 is on my wish list think it may be more suited to my riding ability, tough decision would be nice to have both lol, Cheers Chase.

[@aaronsmith9106]

I have an xsr700 and I absolutely love it. I would have to go with the xsr900 because that's my style of styling for a bike. I also love the way the triple sounds.

[@stephenriggs8374]

Great review video I appreciate this and the comparison I’ve been strongly looking at an MT 09 but you have convinced me I need to look at other aspects instead of falling in love with a bike for it looks

[@jorgefvargas7029]

I wouldn’t let my MT-10 go anytime soon. But I do like the looks of this XSR. Maybe after a year when more custom parts are available or is been tested more, I’ll consider check a trade. For now I’ll keep my MT-10 :). Thank you for posting this kind or reviews man, it does helps us riders to keep up with models and gives us enough info to have conversations about it. Keep posting them brotha

[@ericmcc75]

OC. Great pick. It is hard to beat everything the MT-10 offers... aside from MPG, but the smiles is more than worth a fuel stop every 100 miles. I tour and camp off my 2017 FZ10. No wind screen and it is amazing!!! Keep up the great content, Chase.

[@ronedee]

I like both bikes, and decided the XSR was a better choice for me. I have the FJR1300 for touring and commuter when needed. So a sporty, around town and weekend blasts w/friends seems the logical way to go w/ this new gem. IF, I didn't have the bigger bike also? Probably would've went w/ the MT10.

[@mt09madness]

OC: Get a polarised sheet for your screen man. I have the gen 2MT09 and yeah screen does look like an old game boy. But there's alot of options with polarised sheets and you can make that screen look alot better!!

[@That1J1]

Mannn I feel that, I landed on the XSR after test driving everything else in it's category. After a disappointing ride with the Thruxton RS, I couldn't stop thinking about the XSR. It's my rider life now 😎

[@markhall3434]

That QShifter makes another Sale! The Twins are Thumpy.. not very rev happy like the triple. Somebody needs to do a test in the quarter mile.. the QS has to be worth half a second? Some transmissions can't be shifted very fast to boot. How does the XSR900 w/QS match a liter bike without?

[@That1J1]

@@markhall3434 quick shifters imho are a matter of convenience more than anything unless you're doing some serious competitive racing. Anything that is not a liter bike is not going to compare to a liter bike, they are made completely differently from ergonomics to engine and throttle design. If you're doing track days for fun the XSR is nice to get out on and open up, but that is about it. You can ride it fairly aggressively, but if you're going harder why not get the MT or something designed for racing instead?

[@markhall3434]

@@That1J1 we agree to disagree! QS as good as the XSR is worth trading in a liter bike without for. NOBODY shifts as fast as the XSR QS. XSR W/QS might beat a typical liter w/o QS to 120MPH . I'D be interested in the results. Prove me wrong!

[@markhall3434]

Ok.. at $10,300, I'd hazard to say no gasoline street legal, non Chinese brand new from dealer bike can beat it in the quarter..

[@markhall3434]

What you think is the cheapest any liter bike that might compete? A new mt10 goes for like $15K.. any CF moto chinese liter bikes worthy of note?

[@risingphoenix1187]

I knew you would stick with the MT10. I would have done the same. The ergos, engine, practicality and sound win it for me hands down. Good video. Keep up the good work. 👊🏿✌🏿👍🏿

[@D-Unit1117]

What a great video, very informative. I do think bikes are subjective I prefer the XSR-900 I have one on order in black and I can’t wait to get it mid august!!

[@jamesh9744]

I have this exact same 22 XSR900, and while I haven't had any issues with the scroll wheel or dash, the very short fork lock is the only thing I don't like about this bike. It is without a doubt my dream bike in every other way, and like you with your MT10, it totally revitalized my love of riding after 10 years. I've had two '07 SV650's, a '20 Vstrom (650), and a '98 DL650, so the move to the XSR was a huge one for me. Can't wait for the after market to spark up, but for the time being MOST of the stuff that fits an MT09 also fit the XSR900. And then there's tons of universal fit stuff out there for the little mods.

[@dg8062]

I bought the new gen '21 mt09 last year and then found a screaming deal on a '18 mt10, you know how that goes. I can't keep them both, VERY tough decision but I'm leaning towards the mt10. I watched till the end, I think you've helped me make my decision.

[@scottrolph5023]

XSR 900 has my vote. The lack of wind protection on a naked bike doesn’t bother me unless I do more than 20 mins on the highway. Which isn’t where I want to ride regardless of wind protection. Multi day trips with my buddies where we spend most of our day between 30-80mph on back roads, I’ve never wished I had wind protection. I ride a Triumph Speed Twin 1200 and I ride it rather spiritedly (Ohlins suspension helps).

[@gezginendurocu]

Speed twin is more money than xsr900 ı know different style ı like both bike but Yamaha gives you too much thing for money... triumph give you style and big low tourque...what do you think ? Which one is attractive and playful...

[@salskars6637]

XSR 900, all day, hands down. Velocity Moto, fairing kits are awesome too. (if one is inclined).

[@alesterpadua7884]

I'd go for the XSR 900. MT-10 is too big for me. If you seen how tight the roads and traffics in Southeast Asia, you'll understand

[@richardwarsinske7064]

For you and your current situation I can see why keeping your MT10 makes the most sense. Depending on what you end up doing with your ADV bike plans could change the situation though. If you end up with and ADV bike that has good weather protection and highway comfort then the XSR or some other smaller more sporting bike would be a better fit for you.

[@ceejaypilot4226]

OC-Right with you brother on that already customized CP4. The sound alone makes hairs stand up and split... Bring on the muscle car vibes...

[@smibru]

I have the FZ-10 and I want the XSR 900 so I'm glad you made this video. Some the things you stated on the video were right on the money, but the brakes on the FZ/MT are horrible. I leaning towards getting the XSR 900 because I personally like a lighter bike, but I don't think I'm ready to give up my FZ just yet. I guess I will get a windscreen and upgrade the brakes and keep rolling and get the XSR 900 in the future!

[@remcojansen6920]

good video, I have the xsr900 myself and I am completely in love with it, I was just wondering what do you think of the saddle? I found it too hard myself.. I had it reupholstered and thicker padding in it. thanks for the video.

Bought my 22 mt10 after trying out a few bikes including the mt09, totally agree this will be the bike I want to keep for a very long time.

[@hellraiserrec19]

It would be cool if Yamaha did a single sided swingarm on the xsr900

[@markhall3434]

hmm.. would single sided weigh more? Those swing arms and entire forged aluminum integrated frame is gorgeous.

[@chiguy_]

OC: I think you nailed it when you said (in essence not verbatim) the day to day usage a heavy bike just feels better than something that is lighter. if I wanted a fun weekend thing then the xsr 900 is what I would go for.. but the bigger bike yes. as for the Gas mileage on the MT10 that is something one can not only get used to but figure the sweet spot on a LONG long trip. anyway MT10 for me if I had to choose just between those two.

[@MonstaFreak13]

Depends on use and conditions but ive ridden both and im going with xsr.. the newer models have everything i want and since my new commute is about 20miles shorter each way, i can stop worrying about the smaller tank and lack of wind protection

[@578_]

I currently own a 22’ z900 and am going to try and pick up a mt10 next season if possible! Can’t wait. Won’t sell the z900 tho, sentimental value is too high.

[@JCrozier1]

OC. I'm going to spin it a little different and say that the tracer 9GT plus is a mashup of the two. I would already have one on order if they weren't so damn expensive. Bigger tank for touring, cruise control, heated grips, windshield. All the good stuff and the CP3 is plenty of power.

[@DaBinChe]

Its is still 60lbs more than the XSR900...but once add touring stuff on the XSR will make it around 450lbs, still a little lighter.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

I wanted to like the Tracer. Then I felt like they took an MT-09, threw away 90% of it, and put the CP3 into a massive, heavy, complex, too-touring and not-enough-sport result. Oh it's good. It's sporty. It's quick. But compared to its naked bones, it's quite a bit muted. I was hoping for a Yamaha version of a MV Agusta Tourismo Veloce. A light, sporty, leg-room, more comfortable, more distant capable 85% MT-09 with identical horsepower. It's not. It's like a MT-09 trying to out-FJ the FJ1300.

[@DaBinChe]

@@exothermal.sprocket I was thinking that the Tracer is kinda like Yamaha's version of Honda's VFR

[@BikingVikingHH]

I have your bike’s “Dad”, the 2nd gen FZ1. Has 90k miles and I beat it hard, never misses a beat. Going to rebuild an engine/tranny then add a supercharger instead of getting a new bike. I already had to replace the frame so we’re bonded by blood sweat and tears now lol can never sell her, but I love the mt-10… except the way it looks. To me it’s the biggest tragedy in motorcycles

[@markhall3434]

2023 Blue XSR here.. Thrilled with mine.. went Big Bagger for a few years, so great to be on such an agile and quick bike! The Engine/Frame integration is total genius.. a glorius chunk of black. No Fins.. 3 cylinders is narrower than 4.. very compact.. just about perfect. My 3 cylinder 2 cycle H2 was wider with the fins. A 4 cylinder was very wide with fins. The Quick Shifter really is Yamaha's crowning achievement here. This is the "App" like adaptive cruise control and lane keeping. Absolute perfection. automatic transmissions in performance cars are OBSOLETE now. The new mustang has "Rev Matching", but you STILL use the Clutch! Totally missed the boat.. For sure requires a new manual transmission, but we don't need no stinkin' over complicated Dual Clutch crap. Easy half a second in the quarter (In a car).

Entertaining video! You're right about that cross plane being one of the best sounding bikes, BUT the Aprilia RSV4 is the best sounding. 😁 Keep up the good work!

Had 2 MT10"s (The first was a 2020 that was) stolen) Got a 2021 MTo9 and sold it at 600 miles. I put heated grips and small wind screens on all of them. I liked the sound and power of the MT10, and the way it runs the twisteys . And the fact that you can get a comfort seat makes it so much better for the longer two or three day rides. I recomend gettting a 20170thru 2022 MT10 (and putting on a shift tech auto blipper) is the way to go.

Maybe it’s just me. I don’t mind the screen or the menu selector. I only look down at it to check my speed when I see a cop.

I met a guy a couple weeks ago and he said it starts feeling kind of light around 130 mph.

[@onetrues3978]

OC. Current 22 xsr900 owner. Love the bike. Think the name is too much. Xs9 or Sr9 would've been ideal. Never considered the MT. I was a fan of transformers too, the original animation and toys, not the live action cgi atrocities. I'm also a generation out on understanding the appeal of Pokémon so neither screen really appeals. Would've preferred a square / round offset combo to keep the early 90s aesthetics, show digi menus and a big sweeping needle, plus it would help fill the weird gap between it and the headlight, that is awesome but the lens seems like its a half size too small. If it had two like my 99 speed triple, or if it had a chrome beauty ring around the edge that might help. The black surround does some optical shrinkage illusion i think. I do kind of enjoy the white to green to orange tach sweep though so I'll manage. I don't get the jog wheel hate but youre not the only person to mention it so my hands must just be weird. I was disappointed you didn't mention gas mileage on the SR9 as a positive or negative in comparison to the MT. I seem to burn through tanks fast, but I don't know if its just me. Great videos.

Ive ridden both of them, and own a MT10.. I wouldn't give it up for anything. XRR and MT09 feel like toys to me not as serious as the MT10. That moto GP sound is second to none... Can't go wrong with either. I've owned almost every liter bike out there and needed something similar to that feel. I don't care about electronics and turn them all off with the exception of the quick shifter.

I must say my cb500f has those backlit lcd's or what they are and it really doesn't bother me at all. But I only care to look at the speedo, rpm and how much gas I have. It's probably not good enough for submenues and all that nonesense.

[@chasepeirce9854]

Chase im hoping you can help me on this. Im looking at an austin racing exhaust for my future xsr900 to try and add some throatiness to the cp3, problem is they only make an mt-09 exhaust. do you know if the two systems are the same as long as they dont mount to anything behind the swing arm?

[@mt09madness]

Get an Akrapovic dude! 😜🤙🏻

[@pascalrunolfsson9006]

Gsx 1000 GT if you like it in blue or Ninja 1000 sx ?

[@AmenCornerRider]

OC, I would love to ride the MT 10. I’m a BMW rider but this bike looks so fun.

[@alesterpadua7884]

Why not sell your MT-10 and get the new and updated MT-10 2022?

[@carlosvejar3938]

OC Puig universal Vision windscreen looks very nice on the xsr

[@gatti493]

Hi chase , I have a BMW 1250GS Adventure Rallye 2022 , I am new to bikes and I'm thinking of getting an mt10 but I'm concerned that I will miss my GS , I could get an XSR900 as a second bike , any thoughts ??

[@lovmyevox]

I like both bikes but I think the mt10 is a step above the sxr besides the screen but 2023 mt10 sp looks freaken awesome if I could afford another bike that’s what I would get

[@stevenwijns3844]

Which Ruroc is that and can I get your honest opinion? Thanks!

[@Aaendewy8D]

OC. Can you test the smaller brother XSR700?

[@KadMoto]

MT10 has the best of everything i possibly need ina motorcycle, power, agility, configurability, easy to service, easy to understand, never suprises you. I think yamaha's one of the best creations, that i will only upgarde to 2022/23 model, maybe.

[@kotomakosako]

I ride Z900 2020, I'm thinking of the MT-10 for my upgrade in two years or so. Is it going to be an upgrade worth taking on (and paying for)?

[@Samenotter]

No! Only if you want top end power. Above 150kmh.

[@crawleyman1117]

I currently ride a Harley Sport Glide. But I miss the different riding style my Street Triple had. Plus I don’t know if Forward controls are for me. It’s comfortable, but makes my inner thighs hurt. Now!! Harley have come a long way. The upside down forks on my bike make it SO much more “flickable” than other Harleys. That being said. I think I would choose the MT-10 as well. Just the versatility alone would probably sway me. I also do not enjoy a twitchy throttle, but could get used to it I guess. I like the Speed Triple and the BMW 1000 S as well though.

[@KeithHowells]

What ECU Tune is on the MT-10? 2WDW?

[@Labgorilla]

Which one will you ride during your time off?

[@ToxicGamer86454]

To me it depends on one thing. Do you want HP or MPG

[@04yzfr6]

are those sporty looking bags available for the xsr900?

[@stuarthull5706]

Good decision it’s more important that a bike does more things if only bike

[@markhall3434]

With your MT10 as you wish, and it has a quick shifter.. you got to go MT10.. If it didn't have the QS, might be a different decision. A Quick Shifter is the VVT of DOHC, gotta have it. Cruise control to boot, but not a big deal for me.

[@AnthonyMerryman]

I'm going to need a breakdown of all your different gloves.

[@MentallyManicMoto]

O.c. definitely the mt10. Nice looking bike and as you said you can really make it your own

[@ndperson1]

God I hated the scroll wheel on my 2021 mt09 so much at first. It got better but I still never do it, but I just am a minimalist when it comes to using electronics on a motorcycle anyway

[@christopherlawless6736]

Where can I get that jacket it’s dope!
