What do you guys think about the XSR700, wouldn't you want to win it? If you do, you should head over to yammienoobmerch.com/ and use the code YAM10 for 10% off and 2X entries Also: I flubbed my lines a bit during the Kawasaki Z650 specs: it DEFINITELY only makes 48.4 ft/lbs of torque and NOT 84.4 ft/lbs of torque!

I am entered in the contest and God I would love to call this mine. I have been riding sense I was 13 and now at 52 this would be a great way to ride to the end days of my riding. I had to sell my last bike 6 years ago for medical reasons ( not looking for sympathy) and have been really craving getting my ass back in the saddle, ASAP. Thanks for all the videos you do. A+

Having owned the MT-07 how would you compare them? Are they different only in looks, given that the platform is the same I think.

This is my dream bike for now. Powerful, stylish, reliable, and fun.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Track slayer, a cruiser/touring/dad bike guy and a dirt/adv boi. You guys are turning into an American The Bike Show!

Started riding since my late 20's (am 38 today) and not driven that many motorcycles , but bought one of these (the gun metal colored tank) 1 and a half years ago , after riding a Vstrom 650 2011 blt for 7 Years, and I can definitely tell you the XSR 700 still brings a smile to my face.

Have and love my 2019 XSR 700. lol I literally ran out after passing my MSF course and bought this bike after months of research. It is my first bike and I just put 1k miles on it and just like any bike, modding it will unlock its potential. If you want it to look and sound like a more expensive or more sporty bike, you will of course have to put some money into it. I got it for 7200 out the door and immediately threw a Yoshimura R77 full system exhaust along with K&N Air Filter, Fender Eliminator, LED headlamp and turn signals in front and back and radiator cover up. I am about to do a custom tune but I do have some popping and it is a bit twitchy in first gear still but way better than stock. Right now it looks and sounds amazing. It handles beautifully, I am about to upgrade the levers and put some knobby tires and do some light off-roading with it. I can also take twisties easily and it was very smooth at 120 mph. Do not underestimate this bike, it moves. Also the new guy Andrew is awesome, you should have more of him. And I also agree that Ducati Scrambler Icon is totally the main competitor for the XSR 700 as far as specs, price and aesthetic and was my 2nd choice.

Did you guys had any experience before you get this as your first bike? ( other than the test) . I fell in love with it and thinking of getting it as a first but not sure cos in the video they say the throttle can be aggresive.

Video quality is way up man im loving watching this channel grown and evolve over time! awesome content

As a more recent Patron and currently bikeless... this looks so incredibly awesome.

I own this bike, the 60th anniversary version, and i absolutely love it! The look is amazing (but subjective of course), suspension and exhaust can be better but damn it's so much fun to drive. First and second gears can rip your arms off because of the torque. It's a joy to ride it

I 'm almost 5 mins into the video and so far you've done great job of talking me out of even wanting this thing. Change the forks, the shocks, the breaks, the exhaust...

I don't understand people not liking the looks of this bike. To my eyes it's a great balance of aggressive, UJM, steel tube frame... I even like the cannon headlights everyone seems to replace. When the last kid goes to college, this is what I'm picking up if they still make them in a few years.

They are reviews and mildly inspirational! Just started riding, in love with it. Thanks to your videos! Keep up the awesome work man!

Haven’t ridden the XSR, but I hopped on a new MT07 as my first bike after the MSF. Had extremely limited motorcycle experience but I knew from videos like this to show restraint as I started out. This engine is beautiful and I don’t ever see myself tossing this bike aside. Highly recommend MT07/XSR700!

What’s your inseam and height? The older models were too tall for someone 5’8/9

This was/is my first bike fresh out of the msf course lol. Love it

I flew to Gran Canaria in 2018 as a new rider with my helmet & gear in a suit case. I rented an XSR700 from a cool little shop in La Palmas and spent three full days thrashing it around the near perfect, empty mountain roads, often above the cloud line. I was hooked. Flew home and bought a CBR650R but that XSR was the moment motorcycling clicked for me.

Wanna tag in and say love having a new face on the channel. I like the multiple personalities and perspectives that have been brought on!

Andrew's reaction to the XSR700 is everything I needed on this cold ass Canadian day

I am loving the new stuff man! the quality is amazing!

That Yamaha CP2 engine is a gem, any bike they put it in is a 9/10, they should be extremely proud of it.

love the channel and all the work you 2 do.. the enthusiasm is infectious and I've learned how to be a safer rider.

Love mine, and I'm 50 and been riding 33 years - had VTR1000Fs, an SV1000S, TRX850s, a ton of LCs and this is my favourite of the lot, plenty fast enough for a 300 mile a week commute and fun in the sun. Looks the nuts with a Vintech tail light and an Evotech tail tidy on. That said, will be getting the XSR900 next.

I prefer quiet stock pipes. Why? So I can leave the house at any time, of course. On a loud bike, I'm kind of limited to around 8am to 9pm, because I don't want to piss off all of my neighbors and turn them into enemies. A quiet stock bike could still do that but I have a better chance of being stealthy and slipping away unnoticed.

XSR has definitely turned heads when my mate let me ride his. Goodness me what a gorgeous bike.

Really liking the newest member to the team, he has a lot of character!

i never been tried to ride a bigbike, but i'm riding motorcycle since 1996. i really love to watch bigbikes content.

Own a 2018 model, first one my local dealer uncrated, bought it right after they assembled it. For a true beginner I’d agree or warn that the throttle is just a bit snatchy so watch out your first time on it and ease into that wrist roll. I’m 6’2” 195 and this was the best middleweight around town bike from a fitment perspective (flatter seat a plus IMO). Yes, wish the suspension was firmer and I do need to put an exhaust on it (sounds like an angry sewing machine when I ride with my HD buddies), but it’s a great 3-season commuter bike for LA where we can split and filter as it doesn’t throw off a ton of heat.

I'm 37, returning rider after 8 years, was in between z650 and XSR 700, but you guys cooled me off with the talk how fast it is :) I don't want to wrestle with it, hopefully z650 is more relaxing for weekend rides, even though this Yamaha is more for someone my age, right :) Btw, this type of motorcycle review is the 1st of its kind I saw on yt and I've seen a loooooot. Great job guys.

Being a Ducati icon owner I love that every bike review noob does turns into a scrambler review. Sure makes me feel like I bought the right bike. Hard to have an ounce of buyers regret when yam gets hard for it.

I remember how indifferent the guys were when they first rode it then after the exhaust change there was a revelation!

I've been watching your videos for YEARSS. And every time I start getting interested in a new bike, I can always count on a Slammy Tube, Shammy lube, Yammy noob review.

I liked the camera man getting in on things. Really digging this channel. Of I could win the bike. I'd enter. You guys get consistently better.

A great bike with all the European flair, technically advanced and free of unexpected early mechanical issues.

Good video, but to be fair I'd like to point out a detail when you compared the XSR to the Z. The Kawasaki still had the factory exhaust on it and the Yamaha had the aftermarket. I think it would be a fair comparison if they both had factory exhaust.

Heya Yammie N Spite. As a not so beginner rider I now have an xsr700, red like yours. I find the seat height just about right with my inseam of just about 32" I can flatfoot easily enough. I have ridden for about 4 years, started on a honda cbr 125, then honda shadow aero 750, then harley flht now this. By far the xsr 700 is best of the bunch. Yes, it has excellent throttle response and is very torquey. I think new new riders might find this to a bit overwhelming. I have intentions on road trips as the bike came with hepco & becker side bags adnd i have a kriega 30 l bag for behind the seat. My buddy who I travel with has an FZ07 decked out for touring too. I plan to get an exhaust and a flash tune next year but until then i will putter along. Thanks for ur vids, they are extremely helpful and informative. FACT, there are excellent highways to tour here in British Columbia. PS i am 59.

This bike looks like a bastard of a first bike quite frankly. Btw thanks for the “breakdown” on this “weird” bike. I enjoyed - no we enjoyed - going down the rabbit hole with y'all.

Allright, i absolutely fell in love with when i scrolled the website of yamaha

Such an awesome review, thank you papa yam 🍠

Just bought one! Can't wait to pick it up

Too me. That is the most sweetest looking bike to date. I am fan of the old style bikes. And this has the style of the classics with the Tech updates. I just hope it stays on the market like the SV 650 has.

Its like the perfect combination of a good old timer and modern bike.

Omg I want that bike but I would be happy for Andy to get it! I think he would also appreciate it!👏👍

Yammie blowing the forks at 6:28 ya gotta ease it down papa

That bike looks awesome it's a beautiful work of art as far as I'm concerned.

I am a 40 year old who hasn't ridden since dirt bikes 25 years ago. In Australia we have a LAMS category bike which sleaves the motor and makes it 51Horse instead of 74. It's a great smile bringer for me as pretty much a new rider and has more than enough zip to keep me happy for the 2 years I have to ride a low power bike until I can buy a Turbo Busa! Cheers Yam

This IS my first bike. Ups 😂🤣😂 I absolutely love it 🥰

I've been on an 04 ninja 250 for four years this year. I'd love to have this bike man.

Just got one recently, aside from wanting a better exhaust, I love it so far!

Owing a yamaha since 2014 and the best bike brand ever,

Hi. 74hp, pogo suspension, wooden brakes, tall seat. Sounds like fun, but if I’d had this as a beginner I’d have been upside down in the nearest undergrowth. But with a massive smile on my face. 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nice. I learned to ride on a MT-07 and I like the scrambler look. They are not kidding when they say this thing just wants to go! I might have to look into this particular model.

I've been an owner of a sexy red XSR700 (just like the one in the video) for two years now. I've bought as my first bike and I have to say, I chose wisely. It's very easy to get a feel of this bike thanks to it's linear power distribution - you won't get any sudden power boosts. And after some time, when you get a hold of what it can do, man does it make you grin everytime you pull on that throttle a bit more that you should. It's fun as hell.

Best bike in the world! We have so much fun together

My 1st bike was a Yamaha Xs 500 = I miss the kick starter!!! that was a FUN bike to ride around Houston TX

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE FEELING BABY!!

Fantastic video. It's a crying shame that here in Australia we have a 'dumbed down' version of this bike. It's an XSR700 but it's a 655cc with 52hp and 43ft of torque as opposed to 689cc with 73hp and 52ft with the worldwide model. With this in mind, combined with the fact that new, the bike is more expensive than the CB650r (totally unencumbered - exact same model you've ridden), the Honda just seems like the bike to choose. If only the styling of the CB was a bit more like the Yammy. Also, it's strange they didn't bring the world version of the XSR700 to Australia considering we have both models of the MT07 here, one for the learners with less power and one for everyone else.

sounds comfy yet sporty

Hey Yammie, have you had any rust problems with the Yamaha MT platforms?

You do not have to spend a lot of money on suspension. Sometimes adding a few more cc’s of oil or a different weight. You can even try 2 different weights separate in each leg. Most people really do not need to change suspension

That’s a beautiful machine!

very fun and allowed to cross on free way, nice video thank you

I got one when it first launched end of 2015 as my first big bike, have ridden it every day till the recent lockdown, when it was vandalized and written off. :( Completely agree with Yams review, I never got around to swapping the suspension but always felt it needed something better. Disagree with spike though; the exhaust is fine if you're happy not annoying neighbors. I've ridden it from top to bottom of the UK and around France and Belgium; and it's not great for touring, needs a windscreen and there's no good screen available (atleast when I last looked). easy to strap soft bags to it every where. Fun on logging roads. It's also a pain to clean, I gave up.

@adiboo8142

Just curious what makes it a pain to clean? Thinking of getting this as my first big bike as well

Noticed you didn't mention the CB650r as a competitor, is that because the CB is a inline 4?

I notice that there is a Booster Plug made for the XSR700. That would probably take care of the off-throttle jerkiness.

I think the XS750 is more the grandfather of the XSR 900, which is also has 3 cilinder engine. I had a '77 650 which was drilled up to 750 which wasn't the end for some. But XS650 and XSR 700 seem more in timeline of each other.

I love this bike, it’s my next purchase, but...only needs a front end swap, rear shock, new exhaust and fuel controller, and has average wooden brakes? Hard not to laugh about the litany of woe the first 5 minutes are, but Andrew’s ride is what sold me.

I’d love one of these. It’s a shame they don’t do a full power version. I’d also like to see the upcoming CfMoto CL-X 700 and see how it compares.

2nd bike I ever rode. Super smooth. Super fun
