I have one.. But sometimes we want something a bit 'different' and you can't get different without something happening to do that.
Aye but going by your history, as soon as your happy with it another bike will catch your eye ;)

DOn't get me wrong here, i'm not unhappy with the colours of mine, i think it looks ace.... This one just came up and i had "oooooh, that would look sweet"

I'm leaning towards waiting until i can find panels on Ebay.

There was a CB500 painted grey like the XSR in the first post - it looked superb, that really is a good colour for a bike.

Funnily enough I was talking to a mate about XSRs and he said I love this one. And sent a pic of your colour :thumbup:

I do like the Mars bar type new one and the white/red as well. Not so keen on the blue. The fucking state of most of the downpipes on XSRs though :o Was looking at 2 2020 bikes with 500-1000 miles on and the downpipes were completely shit. It made the ones with aftermarket pipes appeal. The Z certainly wins on pipe finish!

Well, i could go into my garage and show you something funny.... if you count the set i have fitted to the bike, i've got 3 exhausts for the XSR :D

one on the bike, 1 brand new and came off a 0 mile bike and 1 Cerakote'd

The panels don't look especially complicated, I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
