What a disjointed mess.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

The fairing looks similar to an early YPVS 350 fairing, the seat looks like an abortion, but the whole bike looks pregnant

Re: New XSR900 not ugly enough?
The strange thing is that they are all misplaced styling cues which could so easily be corrected. The yellow fake number plate, the horizontal red stripe which is not horizontal, the sports silencer which is three inches too short, the fuel tank which should have a flat top parallel to the flat seat hump, the red front mudguard which shouldn't be, the bronze/gold wheel rims which should just be polished alloy!

Not a fan of the gen 2 xsr.
They've basically made a sports bike sans plastic, which is not the ethos of the bike.
And as for that thing.............somebody needs a damn good slap!

We just need @Potter to look down the sofa and buy this as the forum bike. I'll look after it for a while.

Fine...if you're gonna be like that, you can buy the Dragster RCPotter wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 2:21 amEven if I had piles of money that I was tripping over and it was getting on my nerves, I still couldn't hand over any of it for one of those.
It's like they purposely designed it to be annoyingly ugly.
How can the human race design something as beautiful as an MV Dragster RC and then with pretty much all the same bits and design cues manage to also design something like the XSR.
