Re: XSR900GP
Knox have posted a walk-a-round video on their FriendFace.
1. I didn't notice it in the pics, but the shade of silver the frame is painted is so 80/90's Deltabox.
2. Above the yoke clip-ons, with quite a rise on them.

Re: XSR900GP
Well no, as I don't ride bikes these days. There's not a single bike I'd buy currently.
But if @Potter buys it, I'll ride it

Re: XSR900GP
When I had no intention of buying a bike I fancied loads of different bikes, now I've got the money to buy any bike I want, I'm a lot fussier, I seriously looked at the XSR as a bike to replace the GSXS, and as a bike there's nothing wrong with it, but it was just too ugly.weeksy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2023 8:24 pmWell no, as I don't ride bikes these days.

Re: XSR900GP
I'm not even sure if I'm in the market for a new bike or not, but what I need is for a bike to not just tick all the boxes, but grab me and say 'fucking buy me, you cunt!'.
Funnily enough, nothing really does at the present.

Re: XSR900GP
I don't have any boxes to be ticked, I just want to feel excited about something.
The only bikes that really seems to do it is nostalgic stuff, most modern bikes leave me cold to the point that I'd rather drive the car.
The XSR GP reminds me of drooling over bikes in early 90's Performance Bikes, jumpers for goalposts, etc.

Re: XSR900GP
This looks the business, if that was for sale today I'd jump in the car and have it bought within fifteen minutes.
Unfortunately they won't be in showrooms until April at the earliest, my Yamaha chap estimates probably more likely June, and anything can happen between now and then to change my mind I suppose, but right now I want one.

Re: XSR900GP
That fairing lower/bellypan really should extend to the full length of the top fairing, the 'race' seat looks like a real afterthought and I've never been a fan of stubby cans, but the rest of it looks good. On the plus side this is probably a pre-production prototype, so if enough people bend Yamaha's ear they might finish it off properly before it goes into volume production.

Re: XSR900GP
If you watch that MotoBob MT09 video in the EICMA thread he goes into detail about this version.I think he said June delivery for the UK.mangocrazy wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2023 3:04 pm That fairing lower/bellypan really should extend to the full length of the top fairing, the 'race' seat looks like a real afterthought and I've never been a fan of stubby cans, but the rest of it looks good.

Re: XSR900GP
I'm definitely going to have a good crawl all over the XSR GP when it comes to the NEC, and quiz the sales staff about this 'n that. Paintwork looks proper snazzy.

That little Rayzr looks quite bargainacious.

Re: XSR900GP
Only a couple of hundred or so increase for the MT09s which doesn't seem too bad but the GP seems pricey for a fairing clip-ons and a cowl.
MCN predicted it would be £11.5k back in Oct.

Re: XSR900GP
And to finish the looks off you'll need the belly pan/lower fairing at the bargain price of £623 + VAT.
And those bar end mirrors really annoy me.

Re: XSR900GP
I remember when the MT09 came out at a bargain under £7k. Which fair enough is £9k now adjusted for inflation, and it had some extra leccy bits since. But £12,500 is taking the piss. And that's before you take into account wage inflation which is miles off inflation over that time period.
