It was just being used as an example because the Exup (when it came out) was towards the top end of what was available and that's what I was hoping for with the 900GP.Taipan wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 2:39 pmI was struggling with going from a 2020s triple back to an an old nail from the 80s. How on earth can anyone say the XSR is shite and then go looking at EXUP ffs! You can only dream of getting a EXUP into anything that goes stops and handles half as well as a XSR! Apples and oranges, more like apples and jellyfish!
I saw the 900GP advertised last year and I thought it was going to be something really special, towards the top end of the market, an XSR but with top end running gear and additions and I have twenty grand to drop on a bike if it lights my fire. When I first saw the 900GP I thought that was going to be the bike for me, but it's disappointed me. On paper it's beyond the limits of my skill on track or road, but it doesn't feel special, or look special when you get up close, it just looks like a budget bike and that isn't what I want.
I wanted an exup, I wanted a blade, I wanted a 916, etc, they all made me feel special when they came out, the 900GP doesn't and that's why I'm disappointed.
