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.Potter wrote: Thu Nov 02, 2023 2:57 pmWhich version is on sale?mangocrazy wrote: Thu Nov 02, 2023 12:33 pm Just seen the list price of the XSR900GP lower fairing/belly pan - £623. To my mind that should be fitted as OE.
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.Potter wrote: Thu Nov 02, 2023 2:51 pm 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.
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)Potter wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2023 4:16 pm needed slightly lower bars to put a bit more weight over the front end

Well no, as I don't ride bikes these days. There's not a single bike I'd buy currently.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: Tue Nov 07, 2023 8:20 pmBut not enough to actually buy one.weeksy wrote: Tue Nov 07, 2023 3:37 pm For the life of me, i don't know why you lot don't like it.. i'd LOVE one !!
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.weeksy wrote: Tue Nov 07, 2023 8:24 pmWell no, as I don't ride bikes these days.

But if @Potter buys it, I'll ride it
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.mangocrazy wrote: Thu Nov 09, 2023 3:04 pm 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.
