And to finish the looks off you'll need the belly pan/lower fairing at the bargain price of £623 + VAT.ChrisW wrote: Thu Nov 16, 2023 1:44 pm 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.
Not a 2024. Which may well be the same, but isn't. So not really a comparison

I sat on the XSR900 at the NEC show and I reckon it's about on the limit of riding position that I could stand these days, but that R1 would kill me in twenty minutes.
A sportsbike with comfort mods gets the best bang for your buck,but it's not so easy to do that to a dedicated sportsbike without making it look like a repaired crashed bike.Yorick wrote: Sun Dec 17, 2023 12:45 pmI was comparing the vast difference in spec for same price.Potter wrote: Sun Dec 17, 2023 12:44 pmIt's a different bike though mate, I'm way past riding around on actual race replicas on the road, the XSR is obviously a nod to race reps of the past, it sort of looks like an endurance racer style but it's very definitely more road orientated than track.Yorick wrote: Sun Dec 17, 2023 12:28 pm Same price

I've toured France many times 2 up on GSXR1000s.
