YAMAHA XSR 900 | BEST PERFORMANCE RETRO

[@steve34416]

Absolutely love mine

[@MyRandomLife247]

They're essentially the same bike as the SP you had but different bars and it uses the Tracer swingarm. I love the look of it, personally would've bought this over the SP.

I’ve been watching tests on these and was starting to think they were a commuter bike😂 but after watching yours I’m now happy that it’s a good bike cheers I’m going to pull the trigger and get one now 👍🏻

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Nice one, it is definitely one of my favourite bikes at the minute. It is probably the best production engine for me, maybe better than the Aprilia V4, more engaging than the Yamaha CP4 as well...

[@SigmaJAD]

I ride the same bike. It's a great machine. Dare I say it; best bike I've owned? (And I've owned many). Not the fastest/premium/most expensive/best looking I've had. But packaged engine/fun/vfm/looks? Difficult to beat

[@tankslapmoto9999]

I really want one, I had the MT09sp before this was out, and now I have an Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory. I love the Aprilia, but I could see myself owning one of these - I think that 3 cylinder is one of the best engines in all of motorcycling

Got one last friday. Came from an R6. LOVE IT. Seat does need a little more cushion. Waiting for Luimoto to get there cover for it. Its not bad just gets uncomfortable after an hour. R6 was worse

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Nice one, it's an epic bike. I think It has one of the best engines in production today. Shame about the seat, but as you say, comfortable by R6 standards👍

What made you want to test ride one of these? Tired of the Tuono?

[@tankslapmoto9999]

I love the Tuono, but I do oddly miss the MT09 a little and sometimes wonder if I really need 175 horsepower. As you say the xsr is basically just a better looking MT09, although it does actually feel a bit different to ride, less upright, maybe a bit more engaging in the corners, I was impressed with the quality finish. I dunno what I might do, maybe buy something completely different like a Harley (that Sporster s thing looks cool 😎).

How was the seat? I’ve heard it’s pretty uncomfortable?

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Yeah, not great. It's not terrible, but it could certainly be better. I think the padding is a little thin, and it's not the widest seat, I started to notice it after just an hour in the saddle. It wasn't a case of "I need to get off this bike..." but I'm sure that would set in after 2 hours or so.

Plastic tanks are lighter than metal ones 😃
