Thanks Alex for your review. Maybe try a different mic for the helmet. We can hear you but it’s not pleasant.

From “The Fast Lane” to TFL - really enjoying the growth of the channel! Everything motoring! Fun stuff!

You have great videos, straight to the bike and info no fluff . glad your doing bike reviews not just vehicles.

Great review with lots of info. I appreciate the demo of the setting modes etc. Phenomenal bike. Have one on order as of yesterday. Pumped to transition to it from an SV650.

Nice! Very cool Yami! Great review Alex!

This was a great video. Lots of information in here. I want one of these!

Amazing bike Alex, for sure want one now

very good review

You can basically ride 24/7/365 in SoCal, I'll miss that. While the politicians screw up the state with horrible laws against bikers freedoms. One of my favorite rides is on hwy 49 through the hills with actual turns through the mountains.

Great review for a great bike.

Thanks Alex, I'm going to look at one tonight. Appreciate this channels content! Keep up the good work.

The best walk through and rewiew i have seen. And i just bourght one 24 model 👍👍

Great review, lovely content. XSR900 , definitely value for money at 10,000

It's too bad that Yamaha has XSR900's available for a press event but nothing available at the dealers for regular folks to buy. Seems rather stupid to have a big press launch and no inventory. As the saying goes, "you can't sell apples from an empty cart".

Would have bought one last Friday if I could.... Called about every yammi dealer in Alberta I could find on Google.

It’s interesting you’re all having the exact same issue I am. Dealers can’t even tell me with certainty if they will receive by 2023….

@Tangible Reasoning I love how people try to correct other people on things in their life. NO. I have a 2022 Yamaha XSR900 I got it with 2 miles on it. It doesn’t even have 1000 miles on it yet. I got it from Mukwanago Yamaha.

@Tangible Reasoning could send you videos and pictures if you like. I put a two brothers exhaust for an mt09 on it.

WOW ! Finally real competition for the likes of Triumph's Speed Twin, Kawasaki's Z900, Honda's W/E and definitely new Mottos Guzzi's V7. IMO Yamaha has a real winner with this new XSR 900. I predict that it will become the best selling motorcycle in its class for the foreseeable future. As an owner of a 2015 Harely Super-Low 1200T, a 2016 Motto Guzzi V7 Stone and a 202 KTM 790 Adventure S ... I love my KTM, but am conflicted on whether to sell my Harely or Motto Guzzi to be able to purchase the new XSR 900. just saying

hey guys, thanks for the great review, thrilling footage and very helpful info. trouble is now I want one, but none for sale within 300 miles of me Tucson, AZ and I have a 2021 street triple rs that I like a lot and wondering if you had to pick one, based on performance (not looks) which would you pick - street trip rs or xsr900. thanks JS

Great Review. Sub'd.

Thank God for blessing me I will buy one for myself

That is a sick curvey road. Awesome video

Good vid...

The exhaust sounds much better than my stock R6 that I used to have.

I love the bar end mirrors, I can see behind me much better now.

A great comparison video would be this Yamaha vs the Kawasaki Z900RS!

Great looking bike.

11:35 everybody. I was starting to wonder if Yamaha wasn’t letting people film under the seat.

cool bike nice roads

This is better than the new Monster. Good job Yamaha. Where was my invite to Tuscany?

Old guy here. This took me back 35 years to the beginning of my Colorado Canyon riding when I bought the 1984-85 Yamaha Seca XJ750.. It was an awesome entry but within weeks I realized it was to heavy, not powerful enough and needed another gear. Sport bikes were booming so naturally I jumped the first one available; it was an Interceptor 500 cc with 6 speeds. Yeah, in the canyon was better but the interstate runs up and back evened things out. In an odd switch I spent the next 20 years running a fully dressed big bore nearly daily through every canyon from Utah to Denver. In a those years I remember only having one near incident and I was running fast and hard as always. I had entered a canyon turn at bit better than interstate speed and caught a crosswind so strong I couldn't overpower. I had plenty of room to hang inside pulling on n the opposite bar, it was a left turn, I had to scramble to reposition into the downshift as the outside curve with it's rocky river bed started encroaching into my view. That experience brought back reflections of my first windscreen build on the Seca 750, in retrospect it was to large for canyon riding.

I wonder if the MT09 seat might fit..

Quick shifter. Nice

Have you noticed the flappy tail light assembly?

Europe has the Yamaha xsr 125. That's the bike I want here in America.

What driving mode and tcs settings did you use?

How is the night vision and cornering visibility at night with that headlight?

Dzus seem overkill now. If you constantly accessed that panel, it should last forever. I haven't had problems with plastic knob and rubber o-ring. I like the XSR range.

What cameras are you using?

it's styling is now what a MT 09 would look like if built in the 90's vs the old this is what a 70's bike would ride like with a modern engine and suspension. Before I'd pick the Xsr now I'd pick the MT 09.

I absolutely love this bike. So cool! Way better looking than the mt09. That seat looks great too! How comfortable is it though?

The rear seat is a homage to 90s supper bikes.

Tail allready available from powerbronze

Interesting that they chose to use a cable clutch instead of hydraulic....

I believe they cheaped out on that one. Just like the compression adjustment on the rear shock

You mentioned D Mode 4 for a new rider. How would you compare that to a Mt-07? Could this be someone’s first bike after taking the MSF?

Start on a 300 or 400 cc you will become a better rider in time. Plus when you get better there will be plenty of better bikes out there.

I had the old one, and I don't think I'd recommend the new one for a beginner. Another reviewer mentioned that it's not very confidence inspiring, and so was my old one. There are bikes you just get on and ride, but with my XSR I always needed a little while at least to get comfortable with again after prolonged breaks.

To be honest with you, it’s technically not a beginner bike, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start on it. I would honestly tell you to get this rather than a smaller cc. Let me put it this way, if you know you gon be reckless and try to ride on Mode 1-2 the don’t get it. If you can refrain from that and learn on it through mode 4 and move up then definitely do it. Getting a smaller cc, you are going to want to move on from it within a month. But totally up to you 👍🏼 Ultimately be safe Champ

Great fan of the engine and electronics of this bike, but not a fan of the looks, especially the "quasimodo" hump seat cowl look alike, hideous exhaust that doesn't have any retro style cafe racer vibe. Blue side panels that somewhat connect the mainframe and subframe right below the seat, they are also exposed to constant rubbing against your leg, will soon see how good of a paintjob was done on those pieces, they better put many layers of clear coat on it!

Bads: Turning radius is very bad. Seat is rather hard. Throttle mapping poor. Front brake very touchy. No turn cancelling? Sound? Goods: Power. Handling. Sound? Not a fan of the triple sound. Just finished my day ride in Germany with this bike. I would not buy it. Also, it laid down on me several times. Due to poor throttle mapping, it likes to jerk off idle as though it has a ton of chain slack. Yes I checked the chain for slack. This dead spot in the throttle makes it hard to set the front wheel down gently when doing wheelies. It slams it down! Wrist pain for sure. Love the power as I was near sea level so it makes 25 percent more power than where this tester is.

Geez they couldn’t use the same exhaust as the Mt09 that can is fugly 🫣

Does nothing for me. But the carving of the canyon was a cool deal. Just need clearer camera work to make it super.

Looks like a nice road but pretty wide open for a "canyon". On this road take your true sportbike of choice. On a more traditional, tight canyon setting, you would be hard-pressed to beat an NSR250 or similar 2-stroke sportbike from the 1990s--how are you going to beat 65hp and 280 pounds on a truly race-worthy chassis?

those are 2 completely different genres of bikes not to mention displacement and purpose. You shouldn't even be comparing the two.

I don't like the way it displays the fuel level, extremely poorly thought out by Yamaha! You didn't say anything about the chair after a long journey, how do you feel?

I think not my favorite but hey, someone might buy it.

heavy for canyon carving

I'm sorry but that seat destroys the look of the bike. Put the old style seat and fender on and this would be 100%
