LOL, you guys in England have roads from when 1 horse was going one way, and another horse was going another way. West Virginia has some roads like that. Dangerous bit. A lot of the roads in New York are designed for Model A Fords and haven't been upgraded. When you go to Arizona, all the roads are so new they are super wide.

I've got an XSR125 and wanted to graduate up the XSR range to a 700 or 900, but in the last few iterations I think they've ruined the looks. The headlamp is too small, the seat has gone all stubby. The engine looks like it dominates the entire visual. I think it is ugly. It looks like a seat popped on top of some HR Giger-esque monstrosity. I think my XSR125 will be my first and last XSR.

Love my XTribute, my go anywhere bike and take it back lanes, green lanes, added some crash bars, soft bags, noticed your seat lower Rob, I’ve got the XTribute which has a taller 840mm seat and def makes a bit more plush than MT07, and covers up a bit that budget suspension The motor is prefect for on and off-road, bounce it off 10k redline or just low revs on loose stuff. Super fun motor, Brakes are great and think the Brembo MC makes the difference over MT07 Would love to see a new one with more like the Tenere ability but staying well below 200kgs, a XSR Desert Sled 😎 Looked at the Fantic Cabarello but sadly fell short on off-road ability

Tbh Chinese bikes and Indian bikes are pretty good. Take CFMoto and New Triumph Speed 400 for example.

Motomorini RE Triumph KTMs are certainly not crap bikes. Also 70-80% of the parts on an Aprilla/Ducati/Suzuki/BMW are produced in China or India. 300-900cc Japanese bikes or the bigger Triumphs are mostly made in Malaysia and not actually in Japan or the UK.

The worst thing in the Universe in 2024 is that motorcycles refuse to have a proper 6th gear overdrive. Why are people tolerating low geared streetbikes with no overdrive in 6th? An overdrive transmission would negate 99% of vibration by putting an actual load on the engine. It should be turning 3000 rpms at cruising speed. We need to stop tolerating these horrible low gear ratios.

Better to get a gen 1 vmax for less than 20% of the cost of this confused bike - it’s an identity crisis, multiple personality disorder bike that doesn’t know what it is and wants to be all things to all people and therefore ends up being not really one thing or the other. It is trying to be a supermodel with 6boobs and 4 booties in one body - sounds exciting for a one night stand, but would you marry it? By the way did this reviewer say “life is too short for boring bikes”? Boring bikes? If you think there is such a thing and need this kind of bike to have fun, then this bike will soon get boring too, and soon you’ll need a 9 cylinder bike with 14 wheels, 40 rider modes, and 999 levels of traction control with 6 separate tft screens to keep you entertained on the road.
