On Track With The 2022 Yamaha XSR900

#motorcycle #trackdays #yamahamotorcycle
Given the 1980s Yamaha GP bikes that inspired this completely redesigned Yamaha XSR900, we thought a day at the track with one was in order. So with the blessing of Yamaha Motors USA, the invitation by Track Day Winner Motorsports, and the exceptional photography of Highside Photo, we hatched a plan.
The new Yamaha XSR900 is a fantastic street motorcycle, but how would it handle on a dedicated race track? We took it to the legendary Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta to find out.

Appreciate the video man, but people want to hear the bikes not the loud music blaring.

We can plainly hear the bike, and the music helps muffle the wind noise. Plus, we don’t think it’s very loud.

@@roaddirttv sure thing, thanks for making it right. And for the wind noise, you can look up how to reduce it with your respected editing software. Or the media mod for GoPro with an external mic works great too. Cheers!

Very cool! It’s such a great bike.
What settings did you use on you suspension clickers for the track? Judging by the tire wear, it looks like you tightened things up a fair bit.

To our knowledge, they were factory settings. We didn’t mess with the suspension settings prior to the track day. For the rider’s size and limited track experience, fore and aft settings were pretty well dialed.
Nice video! Can you share what camera you are using?

iPhone 11 for the intro and conclusion, GoPro Hero 9 for onboard, but you’d have to inquire of Raul Jerez of @highsidephoto for his still shots.
Love mine, get it in the legend blue it will grow on you.

Be sure to check out the HJC i10 Robust helmet that matches the blue/yellow of the bike, as well as the OneX USA Pro Race gloves. Perfect pairings for the XSR900! Links in the description.
Tempted to but one, how is the seat for comfort and suspension on bumpier roads

Like many modern retros and naked sports, the seat is kind of stiff. The suspension is adjustable, front and rear.
Thanks for the great content. I am literally going insane waiting for mine to arrive.

We’ve learned our lesson, to not let background music overwhelm the bike’s sound.
I’m not one for gold, but I think the black with gold wheels would have been nice. If I could customize a seat….👍🤪🇨🇦

We just love the look of the blue with yellow accents, like the old Christian Sarron GP bikes of the 80s. But agreed, on black, those gold wheels would pop.
Would’ve been a great video, but unfortunately, I agree with the comments that, adding the music ruined the video for me. Couldn’t even watch the rest of it.

What's with the zip ties? Sorry, kinda of ignorant to this.

Жыл бұрын
Many track day outfits won’t allow helmet-mounted cameras out on track, and make you tether somehow your bike-mounted camera rig. I didn’t have a braided cable GoPro tether, so a guy at the track day gave me a few zip ties to fashion a looped tether they would approve. Looked silly, but it worked,

Be better without music
Good video marred by the inclusion of god awful music. I’d rather listen to wind noise even if you don’t have a good level on the exhaust. Trust me it make the difference between watching the video. No body want music on a video like this.

He is giving his opinion in the comment section of your video. If you feel insulted that's your problem. The same problem as your lame ass slow track preformance and obnoxious music to hide the fact you're barely giving throttle. Delete your video if you feel insulted by this comment.
