Well no, but the Dragster is double the purchase price.

Re: New Mt07
Its all hypothetical for me as i'm unlike to ever buy either, so the purchase price doesn't' come into it. Looking at the bikes being compared, when it comes to looks, the MT may slay the 790 but its miles from the Dragster!

Re: New Mt07
I'm excited to see what the new 7/9's will look like in XSR guise.
I quite liked the XSR700.

Re: New Mt07
I don't. Odd looking bike (sorry weeksy ;D ) and I'm not sure what its supposed to be? It has cruiser (Bolt) lights? Is it a road bike or street moto/semi adventure bike or something? Seat is high, but flat and not at an angle? WHat type of bike is it supposed to be?KungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 9:44 am I'm excited to see what the new 7/9's will look like in XSR guise.

Re: New Mt07
I'd struggle to tell the differences at a glance, if you hadn't have said they were different bikes I'd have assumed it was just a different angle and not looked for the extra downpipe.

Re: New Mt07
Does a bike need to have a type ? Maybe it will sell well coz it doesn't have a label.Taipan wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 10:59 amI don't.

Because they're just a fashion item.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 11:23 am Seems kinda weird that the 900 has USDs but doesn't get the smaller bike's wavy discs.

Re: New Mt07
All bikes have a type, sports, retro, naked, cruiser etc. I'm just never sure what the XSR is supposed to be?Yorick wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 12:34 pmDoes a bike need to have a type ?

Re: New Mt07
Really ? With that headlight and tail unit it's clearly a retro ?Taipan wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 12:49 pmAll bikes have a type, sports, retro, naked, cruiser etc. I'm just never sure what the XSR is supposed to be?Yorick wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 12:34 pmDoes a bike need to have a type ?

Re: New Mt07
And I've just realized that I'm talking bollocks, as when I typed that I was thinking of the MTs (even an MT03 is apparantley a Hyper Naked )- XSRs are in fact
" Sport Heritage " bikes..

Re: New Mt07
You can get unbelievably cheap Chinese systems for MT09/XSR900. I mean £185 for a brand new stainless akro copy. How bad can it be? Its even got the loop!
