WEll assuming they make it into an XSR900 then yeah, i'm all over it.

Better ABS and a full up and down QS... that's me sold... anything else is a bonus.

The new frame looks prettier, should neaten things up on the XSR if they use it.

Have they left the end can off? Where do the gases come out? :hmmm: Ridiculous rear light hanger kills it a bit, but apart from that, its a nice looking bike.

Looks like the exit hole goes down towards the road.

Looking at the spec you'd have to expect a price hike. Adjustable suspension, new frame/engine, and lots of tech. Sounds good though.

Being a cheap skate it might mean some nice deals on the current models at switch over time :D

Well that sucks. I often wonder why manufacturers so that, presumably as people think adjustable = better, when they'd probably be better off with non adjustable better stuff. Obviously only if they are going down the do it cheap option anyway.

Having said that the MT09 always seems to get mentioned in a bad way in the handling/suspension front in a way the XSR/Tracer don't. Must be the riding position/geometry of the MT as your XSR was bob on.

Absolutely, I don't understand why the MT is slated but the XSR us ok. Sure, it could be better, but it's fine as stock.
