Just because it's an XSR, doesn't mean i love it... but certain bit have merit i think, it's only really the exhaust and tyres i'm not a fan of.

Not too bad, the exhaust is a bit odd, and all XSRs sit a bit high, but it goes together quite nicely.

It is the same colour as my car though, which might be why I like it.

Tyres, nope. Exhaust, nope. Handlebars, nope. You can see where I'm going with this...

Nope.

I couldn't learn to love that.

It's beginning to look like those BMW GS monstrosities,man I so dislike those bikes. Horrible to look at,yuk to ride,I'd try to kill one if I had it. Not to difficult if even half the reliability woes are true.

Nope,not want.

I like it but would rather have that numberboard headlamp with a small LED.

I would prefer the standard grey one than that, and the grey one isn't even my favourite XSR colour.
