[@leanit5756]

For guys commenting on the appearance of poor stability.... as delivered the suspension is a goat rope - the bike is all over the place. However if you dial in some additional rebound damping (a lot more) front and rear, it is a dramatically better bike that you can ride like a nut. One or two more clicks of compression damping in the fork helps too. Unfortunately the shock has too much compression damping and that is not adjustable. However decent roads, it still works fine. If there is a lot of root bumps, water depressions, frost heaves, and broken uneven asphalt it will beat you up a bit.

[@Schaaf]

Good to know!

[@Kreisverkehrdrifter]

Wenn man den Sitz hinten noch etwas abpolstern lässt dann ist das Bike eindeutig die schönere und bessere MT-09. Längerer Radstand und vor allem die eher nach vorne gerichtete Sitzposition sind Pluspunkte, die die normale 09 eben nicht hat. Ich finde das Teil einfach gelungen!

[@Schaaf]

Jep! Danke!

[@4stroker791]

Had the pleasure of riding this for nearly 100 kms. It was a different experience in handling as compared to an MT-09, but it was fun to say the least. Unfortunately i find it a bit uncomfortable to sit on. I've gotten used to riding my Royal Enfield Bullet, and enjoy the upright seating. As usual, great video Schaaf 👍.

[@Schaaf]

And the seat is also quite hard ;)

[@dsofe4879]

I test rode this bike briefly - admittedly at much lower speeds, since I'm nowhere near as skilled and also the roads around here are garbage. I was blown away by the cornering stability, though. Instant confidence boost. I didn't get all the way to the edge of the tire, but the bike just fell in and held a line perfectly for me, on the stock S22 tires. That's the main difference I see here, all the other reviews seem to be on the stock S22s. Maybe the Dunlops don't suit the bike as well? If you ever get the chance, give it another try with the S22!

Yamaha makes a fine single, as they have for 50 years, but this bike has nothing to do with it. Looks like a cool bike, but doesn't have the interesting dual intake and exhaust setup like the xt's and tenere's to give it that extra tone and refinement. That really makes an excellent single, imo.

[@capz3217]

It really is a shame that the XSR doesn't come as an SP variant. Suspension is probably better than on the last gen XSR I had, but that engine deserves a well adjusted setup right from the factory. Difference between stock and the Wilbers upgrade I did on my XSR was night and day, but I don't think I'll buy another bike where I have to change the suspension to get the optimal experience.

from the footage you really can't tell the bike has an expensive full system exhaust from a prestigious brand like akra. It sounds like a stock exhaust

[@ggrandcz]

@@youridv With knowledge you can know it. Stock exhaust is only under engine. There is no way you can put slip-on. Akrapovic offers only 1 product for XSR and that is fully EU approved exhaust, means full of cats and low noise, EU5. That is why it sounds like stock. It is not worth of the extra money in my opinion. EDIT: You are one of those who does not read description, aren´t you?

[@kamsa1243]

Great runs as usual, loose bag strap or not. The induction noises are on display here :D Question because I have to choose between this and the Street Triple RS this month, how was the seat on any of the Street Triple models you've tested compared to this one? I'm aware this one is wooden but I'm interested in how much of a difference there really is. There is an XSR 900 locally in this exact blue so I can sit on it, but unfortunately there isn't a Street Triple, so I can't compare the 2.

The seat on the Striple is hard as well. But the suspension is better on the Triumph. If you're not too tall the Triumph is better over bumpy roads

[@kamsa1243]

@@Schaaf Thanks for taking the time!

[@alexgti79]

xsr 900 stock supension settings was too soft, once the static sag and the dynamic sag have been adjusted you have to work a lot on the hydraulic part. Even setting the fork return to one click from fully closed is still too fast for me. After a month of testing, compression and rebound are one click away from fully closed on the forks while on the rear the rebound is a 1/4 turn away from fully closed, now it finally performs very very well in almost all asphalt conditions.

Do you still use the same backpack as in your tutorial video? If not which one do you use now?

[@Schaaf]

Yes but as stated in this video I couldn't. I used a makeshift bag but my original backpack definitely works better

[@ukaszKokoszkiewicz]

XSR 900 comes on Dunlop S22 tires, the ones you've ridden do not look like factory ones.

[@Schaaf]

they were not

[@AlienSensei]

I'm nowhere near as pro as the other commenters but when you do the walkaround, I look at those wheels and have an impression that the diameter is on a smaller side. It's like looking at someone who's wearing shoes 1 size too small. Perhaps that's the cause of the instability during long sweeps. Prefer the previous model though.

[@Schaaf]

No idea, I'm no pro either :D

Which are the best 300-600cc bikes according to you. I was planning to get a RE GT 650 Any thkughts?

[@kalnwi2023]

MT 07

[@Fittednocap]

Do you prefer this over the street triple?

[@Schaaf]

Nope

[@ljoelmchanley3676]

I'm curious if you have ridden the latest gen MT09sp and what is your take on it? I searched your channel but did not see you on the sp.

[@Schaaf]

it's even a fairly recent upload so your research was a bit sh*t haha

@@Schaaf Yamaha botched the XSR900 after 2021. They are bloody awful now. I love my 2020 in heritage Dynamic white/red. 100% stock. You should see how many people think it's a 250 or a 400 learner bike. Too funny.

[@kangacrew540]

@YAMAHAXSR900 if I had a 250 that rocketed like this I'd be a very happy man!

[@theaustralianconundrum]

@@kangacrew540 It's called under 3 secs to 60mph, 4.5 secs to 100mph and 150mph in 6th around 15 seconds. Great fun.

Hi Schaaf! I'm om the verge of selling my Speed Twin 1200 for this.. Didn't do a test ride yet. My Speed Twin has custom suspension setup for me. What would your advice be?

[@Schaaf]

Do a test ride then ;)

[@rickslijkhuis6822]

@@Schaaf touche..

[@detonate30]

It seems like the front end is kind of wobbly on high speeds... does it affect the handling? looks scary

[@Schaaf]

The suspension simply isn't the best but you can still ride very fast with it

[@detonate30]

@@Schaaf a few tweaks may improve it perhaps...
