Just seen the list price of the XSR900GP lower fairing/belly pan - £623. To my mind that should be fitted as OE.

Which version is on sale?

The crap one, or should I say the one that doesn't fit full width with the upper fairing. It's a single piece unit and I found it on an official Yamaha site.

Blimey.
I'd try and do a deal to have that thrown in or discounted.

I'm also off the NEC to see this bike, just spoke to a couple of mates and it was EICMA or the NEC and the NEC is the least hassle.
I forgot to suggest we stay in the hotel next to the motorcycle museum and do that the evening before.

I'm looking forward to getting a sit on this GP version and unless the ergonomics really don't suit me then I think I'll end up buying one, it's the first bike I've been keen on for ages.

Yes, I like the look of it as well, but want to see it in the flesh. Probably just catch the train to The NEC on the day. It's less than an hour from my place in Stafford.

Just read the lower fairing on the GP bike is an official Yamaha accessory. That's taking the piss in my book.

needed slightly lower bars to put a bit more weight over the front end

You'd hate the MT then, about 2 inches higher. It's longer than the MT, uses the Tracer 9 swingarm. I'm thinking of test riding one (normal XSR)

Looks like they have carried over these colours to the 2024 XSR900. The blue is now no longer an option.

For the life of me, i don't know why you lot don't like it.. i'd LOVE one !!

Knox have posted a walk-a-round video on their FriendFace.

1. I didn't notice it in the pics, but the shade of silver the frame is painted is so 80/90's Deltabox.
2. Above the yoke clip-ons, with quite a rise on them.

But not enough to actually buy one.

Well no, as I don't ride bikes these days. There's not a single bike I'd buy currently.

But if @Potter buys it, I'll ride it

When I had no intention of buying a bike I fancied loads of different bikes, now I've got the money to buy any bike I want, I'm a lot fussier, I seriously looked at the XSR as a bike to replace the GSXS, and as a bike there's nothing wrong with it, but it was just too ugly.

[mangocrazy]

I'm not even sure if I'm in the market for a new bike or not, but what I need is for a bike to not just tick all the boxes, but grab me and say 'fucking buy me, you cunt!'.

Funnily enough, nothing really does at the present.

[weeksy]

Not that long to wait matey.... Get it paid for, then wait..

You'll love the engine..

That fairing lower/bellypan really should extend to the full length of the top fairing, the 'race' seat looks like a real afterthought and I've never been a fan of stubby cans, but the rest of it looks good. On the plus side this is probably a pre-production prototype, so if enough people bend Yamaha's ear they might finish it off properly before it goes into volume production.

If you watch that MotoBob MT09 video in the EICMA thread he goes into detail about this version.I think he said June delivery for the UK.

I'm definitely going to have a good crawl all over the XSR GP when it comes to the NEC, and quiz the sales staff about this 'n that. Paintwork looks proper snazzy.

[KungFooBob]

Official pricing apparently...(well it's from CMCs Friendface)

[Supermofo]

Are there other changes or are the charging £2.5k extra over an MT09 for a body kit?

[KungFooBob]

The current XSR is £10,610.

A bit more expensive than the MT, so its only nearer £2k

[Count Steer]

That little Rayzr looks quite bargainacious.
