the front fairing and the seat cowl would totally transform this bike

Yeah the fairing looks good, and has some vintage style to it.

Congrats on the purchase. I just leveled up to the '23 XSR900 in blue from the 2017 FZ07. I just passed 1k miles here in NC and ordered the Yoshi AT2 exhaust yesterday. I look forward to your mods and inspiration on the build.

Congrats man! Can't wait to hear the exhaust upgrade, hope you do it properly as just revving it stationary with no load is just sad. It's would be nice to see and hear a mountain pass rip!

Thank you, Alex, and Congrats on the sweet ride.

That race kit looks pretty sick! Go for it amigo!

I lucked out and was able to snag a 23 two weeks ago down near Tampa. I'm in love with this bike! I was looking at the exact same exhaust! I bet it would look really good on this bike! Looking forward to future content!

Beautiful bike! Thanks for posting.

I've had this bike for over 6 months with an M4 Exhaust and while I thinks its the best sounding exhaust for the xsr900, it's also ridiculously loud. I don't mind it since I ride with earbuds though. Also, the fairing and seat cowl are nice, but I'd take a look at S2 Concept fairing for an even more classic cafe look. Hope you have fun with the XSR!

I got mine a week or so ago. I've already done the airbox mod, sprint filter and flash. Waiting on an exhaust now. Spark full titanium and sc project s1 are my favorite ones but no one state side has them in stock. I've also done the gp shift pivot from vcyclenut, tail tide from nrc, clear tank grips and protector. I have scs to 1 but otherwise exact same settings. 750 miles and it's been the best bike I've ever owned. Previously I have ninja 650, 636 and a 2017 r1 and this beats them all for usability and comfort and just riding joy. My youtube history is about 30 xsr/mt09 videos a day so whatever you make I'll watch lol

@@Rufio1975 nope. It's effectively the same thing without the dyno. Vcyclenut has done extensive testing on pretty much every exhaust/intake combination so you just tell him your mods and he flashes a map he designed for those mods on his dyno. It's cheaper than dynoing and if you're like me without a dyno near its the best/only option. Im really happy with the results.

@@admireinspire Right on. Thanks man. Much appreciated.

I just went to my local dealer and saw the 2024 with its beautiful colors (white and red with gold wheels), and I am infatuated. I have a 2018 SV650 that I love (and it’s my favorite paint scheme of that bike) so I’m torn. I want more power and tech, but I love my current bike and how it looks. Do I need more power? No. Do I want it? Yessir.

I would strongly suggest getting the cowling. It greatly transforms the look of the bike into a more retro bike.

Enjoy! Road trips are good content. Exhaust is hideous, so def. go with your idea of change there. And rare do I say modify a bike, but your ideas are spot on. Although, I might not mess with the levers.

I love your new bike! I was wondering if you could make any suggestions for equipping this thing with luggage for some weekend touring?

2023 XSR900 here.. blue/gold wowie!! A total home run.. The Standard by which all other 900ish bikes are compared..

Congrats!

That gosh darned HORN location...it's like a spot on the TV that once you see it you can't not see it!!

Exhaust recommendations: If you haven't purchased a system yet, look at the M4 system. Uses a belly muffler and a side exit tip muffler combo. Looks quite good. Looking for the most horsepower with ECU flash? Not sure what brand offers that, but Akrapovic usually does a good job with their headers.

I have the M4 exhaust on my xsr and it's all black and i love the understated look while it also sounds fantastic winding up.

Picking mine up on Thursday 😁😁😁😁😁

love it, hoping they bring back the black and the GP accesories.

Good Choice! I pulled the 2023 blue as well. Golly, wish I could buy stock in XSR900.. Can't imagine what isn't perfect here. I added a small wind deflector around the screen, might go a little bigger, Thinking another inch lower on the pegs, tires are fine for my skill level (Intermediate). I like a seat with a shelf.. The quick Shifter is The Standard, and will obsolete automatic transmissions for drag racing at least. Ford has Rev Matching in their new Mustang but you still have to use the Clutch!! Worth an easy half a second! Bitch gets her own bike, there will be no passengers on this bike.. I like the stock muffler.. all tucked up underneath, out of the way. Might do a Tail job but not there yet. I made a parking "Holster" for the garage. The Blue is good, but probably would consider a red bike. ONE Complaint!! The Steering turn radius is very wide for garage handling. No idea why they did this? The XSR is a Great Choice. My next in line was the Triumph Street Triple, not so much the Kawasaki Z900RS.

I have a 2023 MT 10 and I love it!! I traded my 2022 Kawasaki Z900 RS cafe for it. I did demo this bike also (2023 XSR 900) and it is a great bike. Very very good!! BTW the Michelin Road 5 and 6 are great tires. I put the Road 6 on my Z900 and they were night and day compared to the OEM Dunlop GPZ 300. My MT 10 has Bridgestone Battlax S22 as OEM and I love them so far with just 1000 miles on them. I will probably go back with the Battlax S22 or S23 when it's time. I just really like the profile of the tire. The turn/tip in is sooooo good. So sharp and they are very confidence inspiring.

Own a '22 raven XSR900. Great bike. SC Project exhaust are good. I am waiting for that. Also running the Michelin ro ad 6 daily. May get a set of track slicks soon. Was running some Bridgestone before.

Look at the LeoVince LV Race exhaust. I have it on my 2023 XSR900 and a couple of KZread vids on it. Looks and sounds great. Easy and direct fit install with no modifications needed.

Have the Yoshimura on my Gen III MT09. Love the sound and it stays tucked under the bike.

I did the sc project crt exhaust on mine and love it

I almost bought one but found a new ‘22 Street Triple RS for $2200 off and couldn’t resist. I’m thinking about getting Road 6 also.

Killer bike. Would have held out for one if I didn't find a great deal on a Street Triple.

I prefer Bridgestone S22's for more spirited riding and better grip, Road 5/6 are definitely great sport touring tires though just expensive. On my gen 1 XSR900 I had a full Akra racing loop exhaust system with a 2 Wheel Dynoworks ECU flash and that transformed the bike/sound of the CP3 beautifully and let it sing at higher RPM's and bark down low. If the R9 doesn't come out I'm definitely considering a new gen MT09/XSR900 again as a 2nd fun bike because the CP3 was by far my favorite motor to ride on and I really miss it.

Nice Bike!

I have a 2021 MT09 and I have the MIVV x5 exhaust and its amazing.

I've never been afraid of scraping my mirror, The total hp kit is what we need-like the 24 gp in Europe.

For those that have an xsr and want the oem cowl set, theres a guy on ebay thats based out of europe that sells and ships to the states! Yamaha doesnt have them available stateside

Where was this filmed? Beautiful scenery!

I have the TBR exhaust from the mt-09 on my xsr and it sounds great

Hey I'm down in littleton! Have the 23 xsr900 and my bro has the 21 09sp with the sc project exhaust if you want to do a comparison!

Alex, TAKE IT OUT FOR A RIDE IN THE NEXT ONE... 🙏....IT WOULD BE COOL TO HEAR THE BIKE GET USED PROPERLY ON SOME BACK ROADS ..... TAKE US FOR A CHILL ROAD TRIP SOMEWHERE..🙏😁✌️ HAVE A BEAUTIFUL MONDAY EVERYONE..

Great looking bike! I would replace that front master cylinder...the OEM one looks like a wart!

The aftermarket parts from Brogue and others that are becoming available for the 22+ XSR900s totally make that bike an awesome addition to the fleet. The headlight is plastic, the tail and seat have to go... So much you can do to make it yours. What aftermarket parts do you crave?

I have Road 6’s on a Tracer. They’re very versatile and confidence inspiring. 👍🤪🇨🇦

What exhaust did you wind up with? Does it sound much better?

I'd love to see someone install steel braided lines on one of these. I love my XSR, but the front brake is a little spongy and the rear shock needs an upgrade.

Let's see some Colorado mountain riding. Nice bike good choice

Is the Road 6 better than the Battlax S22 the bike comes with? I have the same bike and I really like the S22s but I see a lot of people using the Road 6s.

First of all: fly eagles fly. Second, great choice, just picked up this bike myself. Had the first Gen this one is definitely a more grown up version. Lol. Will be keeping an eye on future content

Did they ever release the fairing and cowl, or did they pull it make the GP more desirable?

what do you know about all the videos of the new mt09/xsr900 where the chassis breaks?

How is 2 🆙 , are passengers more comfortable than mt09 ..??? And is the ride really compromised with a passenger..??? Would love❤to hear about passenger complaints and rider feedback , thx 🙏 in advance

They should have just released this bike with the race kit. Looks much better

I am considering both what’s the difference in the riding experience?

How about an install of a Yoshimura fender eliminator kit? To me that’s about the classiest one for the bike.

Cool bike besides that funky looking seat. It’s like the design team gave up with they got to the tail end.

How’s the long distance mileage from Connecticut to Florida per-say?

Yamaha Cafe Race kit would make it look neat.

I actually agree. The groove on the outside will contact the road first, then channel the water to the center of the tire. That can't be right.

My father in-law test rode one, and said that it would probably wheelie under full throttle. Is that the case?

Road 5/6 can be spirited riding on dry?

I already own xsr700 and i don't want to keep the same round headlight styling. Otherwise this 900 would be my next bike.

I am between the Kawasaki z900 SE and the xsr 900. Having a tough time choosing. Either way I have to order it and wait

How about going beyond the normal flash and pipe and seek out something internal like cams? Makes for a bigger project that you might be able to stretch over an episode or two. 🤷🏻

Can you install a cafe racer kit on it. That would look sick!

Well I bought 23 in black

Is the front tire directional? Cause the tread is going the opposite of the rear lol

How many hour of ride time can you last on that seat? It looks thin

Wait until the us kit comes out with an Augusta appeal

Any updates on the xsr?

I was about to say the SC Project..😅

I was seriously looking at this motorcycle until the recent redesign. That seat is fugly and fugly enough that I ended up purchasing an MT-09.

Interestingly, Zack at RevZilla rated the MT07 above the XSR900, and various sources picked the MT07 over the MT09, especially as a 'funner' bike! Next I have to find comparisons between the MT07 and SV650, which is my personal 'slicer and dicer' on Skyline Drive (renamed Tree-line Drive by moi as the government has allowed the mother nature's wilderness to block most of the beautiful views along the drive and even at many of the "overlooks") The question is whether the MT07 is $8,000 better than my $1,500 SV650? Edit: watched a video today where the content creator explained why he picked the SV650 over the MT07 and I agree with his reasons.
