Re: 2022 XSR900
Couple of bits I'm not keen on. Overall it's gone more RD/LC than full on café racer which may be good or bad depending on your views.

Re: 2022 XSR900
My eyes won't go past the swollen ass seat.
The yellow/black US Yam colours would generate more want with me. I usually like understated colours,but that's a bit bland.

It reminds me of the blue N2/F2 YPVS 350
You could put an FZ750 fairing and seat on it and have a nice looking bike

Re: 2022 XSR900
Quite nice, lovely colour. But back end. Flatter seat and some blue plastic behind it. The lack of bodywork behind seat is getting more common, but slightly flawed I reckon.

Re: 2022 XSR900
I wonder if the paddock stand has skewed the angles of the seat a little, it may not be as bad as we think.Dodgy knees wrote: ↑Wed Nov 03, 2021 8:08 am Quite nice, lovely colour. But back end.

Re: 2022 XSR900
Nope it's still bad.
I think they're trying for the Giullari look, but it doesn't work.

Re: 2022 XSR900
I've just come back to it this morning thinking "surely not......" and unfortunately, it's awful. What the fuck have they done?!

Re: 2022 XSR900
I like it more than the old XSR900, but I didn't really like the old one - so it's not a high bar to clear
Lovely colour though.

Re: 2022 XSR900
There's some nice details. The bar end mirrors and the Brembo radial MC, etc.. it's just the seat killing it for me, but I suspect there's aftermarket parts companies all over the world jumping for joy.
The exhaust looks to be a single piece system, not good if you just want a load end can.
I wonder if the rear end from the 2021 MT-09 would fit, and would it look any better?

Re: 2022 XSR900
On the other XSR900 models they're a round retro style clock with a digital display. A common mod is to get a relocator bracket which moves them down into a far more pleasing position. Although that does mean you can't fit a screen then

Re: 2022 XSR900
That's the same on them all now, MT07, MT09, XSR700, XSR900, has been for years. Single piece and if you want just a can, you get the saw out.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed Nov 03, 2021 9:56 am
