Is the contest still open? The official rules say it ended on September 15th, 2023. Hope it's still open!
I don't know why it makes me so happy to hear your praise on the bike I own but I've been enjoying mine for the last 15 months. Glad to see your perspective matches my experience.
This bike is just perfect for the road, the style department and for the wallet 🤗
I know what you mean, I’ve had mine for 12 months and it’s still awesome and a great ride every time i get on it. I was testing a secondhand H2 and wanted that but then I gave this a ride and fell in love with it, placed the order right there and then.
I just got mine a few weeks ago. It is a fantastic bike.
You don’t know why you’re enjoying hearing someone reaffirm your purchase decision? Okay.
Yamaha build a XSR 1000
25:37 You can also twist the throttle forward, past the natural resting point, to disengage the cruize control
Your first XSR review convinced me to buy one & I LOVE IT. Wicked fun bike.
The bike is great, I gotta get back in the saddle. Life isn't the same without my second gen 650 :(. Been loving your content for a while now bro. Your what the community needs in the way of motorcycle content. Thanks for making it fun!
Been riding for about 6 months and my first bike was a 01 shadow. I am so glad I did something like that to learn and practice. I just picked up an XSR900 yesterday. Tons of power, tons of fun and it feels so easy to ride. I am so glad I progressed through my bikes the way I did. Absolutely love the XSR.
Such a perfect package, owned this bike for 5 months and am so in love with it
You ever owned a super sport?
I have been riding for 20 years and have had several motorcycles from cruisers to super sport and this is by far my favorite to own. This bike also gets more attention than anything else I have owned.
Rode one the other week, with that exact color. really looks nice in person. it's a forever bike.
I’ve had mine for bout a couple of months and love it 🫶
STOKED about this one. I bought wifi on the plane just to purchase some stuff and get into this. rented this bike in Arizona and convinced me to WANT to get back into riding.
Upgraded to this from a ninja 400. Wow is all i can say. I love them first gear power wheelies.
Took mine to the track this year. was an Absolut blast, gonna go again next year when the season starts again :D
Love this channel! Sold the Goldwing and ordered a XSR 900 for next month. Yeah, Michigan might have snow in a bit, but who can wait?!
Papa Yams! You are the Motorcycle Big Daddy!👍🏻
Thanks Papa!
Wow, that's a big change in bike types!
Good move trash that 850 plus pound of dooky @@JW-bw8nj
Sold my ultra classic got a low miles hornet
I got one too. Just hit Estes park. What a blast!!!
Riding it for over a year and I'm happy with my choice. It's my first "big bike". Earlier ridden XSR 125 :). I'm very interested in seeing it on the track and You are my last hope here. No one seems to think about it as a performance machine as it is. I'm tired hearing comparisons between XSR 900 and Speed Twin 1200 or sth. Please take it to the track!
Waiting for the GP.... That thing is just drop dead gorgeous!
Dammit. I might have to buy a Yammie hat to enter for this bike. Such a fun video and bike. Yammie was obviously having a blast. That bike is beautiful.
I have the base MT which I prefer looks wise over the XSR. Still pisses me of that it’s their only bike using the CP3 without cruise control but I digress. The quick shifter doesn’t work in the final 3-500 rpm’s. It’s like a safety feature. Not sure if it can be changed with a tune. I go by the counter going orange because you can set where it comes on. So I use that as a shift light since even in daylight you can see it clearly without looking down. Also I’ve said this in other videos about the new platform. I would suggest breaking in the exhaust over a few thousand miles before deciding if you want to change it. It gets pretty loud over time and does all the cracks and pops. I think changing the exhaust is more of an esthetic change than volume change. I personally don’t mind the look and I love the sound so I’d rather put my $1k somewhere else.
What’s a shift light ?
Love to see some love to the Gen 3 Mt09!
This bike is a beauty 😍
Your commitment is unmatched! 💯 ♦ "Dream big and dare to fail."
The MTs are a great family of bikes but it is special how the Heritage family take the MT platform and add a certain element of life to them that I can't quite out my finger on. It is nice that the Heritage family has started getting small displacement bikes great stuff oh yea love the review too.👍👍👍👍
My favourite colours, glad to know it rides as good as it looks 👍
Love these bikes, almost got one over the Speed Twin.
Yeah, these are really nice motorcycles. I really like mine. Perfect all-a-rounder. You got to quick-shift BEFORE you hit the rev-limiter though.
Love you from 🇳🇵 bro..!! Love your content ❤️
I've made a review and a couple follow ups and I'm always one to gripe and complain but like you said I struggle to find faults.... my key takes a lot of force to pull out sometimes.....😂 best I've got
This is actually my first bike and I absolutely love it and have been enjoying it since June. Also it sounds great with a toce full exhaust.
@jtgscout4295 Curious to know if you had any prior riding experience? I'm planning on getting this as a first bike. I have no previous riding experience besides the MSF and a few practice rides.
If you are the type that just has to redline the engine, don't get it. You wouldn't believe how fast life is coming at you at redline.@@nickonajite9799
@@nickonajite9799I’d be scared with that much power. It takes so much riding and practice to get shifting right, parking, highway, local street. I got a 650 cc as my first bike and I love itttt. Also I’d be ready to upgrade and drop more money for this 900 cc with more experience and confidence to handle it better as those bikes deserve to be ridden well.
@@nickonajite9799 First of all, Be Afraid. Bikes will kill you quick. Trust me, I lost one of my sons to a motorcycle crash. Second, don't be afraid... What I mean is, you must give motorcycles the respect they deserve and not ride them beyond your skill level or overestimate your skill level. As well, though, you can't ride around in terror of your death, either. Be cool, and enjoy the freedom that a motorcycle gives you, and enjoy the ride. Let your confidence build slowly in your control and ability. My first bike was a 1900cc Yamaha Roadliner. Factory, it was a dream to ride with unmatched torque. After race intake, full length V&H Pro Pipe, minus the baffles, and a raunchy tune, it became the undisputed King of my riding group which consists of all big boy Harleys. Faster, smoother, more HP, way more TQ, half the price and nearly 200 lbs lighter than the nearest bike to me in weight. I have since bought another 1900cc Yamaha Raider. Rode it across the Midwest from Iowa to eastern Ohio with my wife just to see a concert. I said all that to say this: everyone I knew counselled me to get a small bike for my first bike. Should I have? I can't say. What I can say is that a small bike isn't a guarantee that you will live. Only you can do that, and you must have some self control and realistic idea about what you are capable of. In reality, the same driver that runs into you on your bike at any speed will kill you just the same as if you were walking, and that is the one thing you cannot look out for enough. Ride what you are comfortable with. The best way to do that is to get your license and go to a dealer and get to know them and take different bikes for a ride. Ride them around town and the highway for as long as you can, depending on how confident you are in your control of that machine. When you get to feeling more nervous about the possibility that they might think you have stolen it than you are nervous about crashing it, you may very well have found your first bike. Have fun.
love the bikes you get for these videos/giveaways!!!! what a dream it would be to win
I bought an original red 2014 FZ-09. List was $6,999. I paid $6,499. Best value ever at that time. And the lack of “refinement” was never noticed in the midst of roarty three cylinder fun. I blitzed mountain roads, toured on it, all with unlimited fun! I traded it for a Z-H2 in 2020 and got $4,900 on trade!
Hey Yammie, how would you compare this to the Thruxton RS? Comfort, Fun factor, Overall experience, Daily Commuter, and your preference?
Anyone looking for a smaller more sporty XJR should look no further. The MTs are great but the XSR is just a beast!
Damn that thing looks sweet!
Yamaha also brought the front forks down, which is awesome
fav new motobike for sure!
As someone who owns a 23 MT09 also experience the lockout with the quick shifter very often pretty, frustrating not sure of the cause and that's my only complaint in the 7 months of ownership so far. I owned a gen1 FZ09 and this bike is leagues ahead of that one. I've actually experienced my 1st track day with it. Just because of the confidence this new platform gives.
That things awesome yammi
I want to look into the smaller brother XSR700 as a first bike
I like this bike. Been looking at a few different bikes and this one is looking like a top contender.
They look awesome no doubt. My 1190RX has 102 lb ft of torque and 80 @ 3k rpm it is one angry motorcycle.
As a owner of one of these I would love to see you take it on the track yamm !
My buddy is about to get one of these in a few weeks. It looks like a great bike. It's sort of like a Japanese version of the MV Agusta Superveloce.
Ordered mine yesterday ;-)
Go Driver mode 1 to get those spicy launch
I’ve had some pretty serious Lust for one of these for a while now.
I've been looking at this as my 2nd bike from a Z400. But they have been elusive, unobtainium, unicorns.
Hey papa yam! Have you ever thought about doing any tracer 9 gt content? I think it's a fantastic bike and there isn't much content out there on the platform! I thibk youd be great to put out track reviews, hooligan activities, and light touring content
I love this bike
Hey yammie, could you do a comparison with the MT-09/Sp version and which edges out among the three. Thank you
Got this bike a few months ago. Always have issues with the quick shifter from 1st to second. Sometimes throws me in neutral.
Owned exactly this bike for about 6 months, loved it so much. Got an offer i could simply not refuse and sold it. Put 8k kms on it in the 6 moths, daily driving, track use and fun rides. It was a complete package for me, the only downside was the suspension being a little soft for my taste. Ordered a 2024 triumph street triple 765rs to replace it being delivered in july 2024. The RS should be a fun replacement little bit more hp but less torqe and better suspension.
If you have the chance test drive both and make your decision based on what you like more or if rs is worth the larger price tag for you.
I’m comparing the two.
RS - brakes,handling
Mt - cheaper , torquier
Which would be better for the highway ?
Engine wise the xsr would probably be easier for highway miles because it has more torque. However I think the RS is better because the seat is alot better. The xsr stock seat kinda sucks, after driving 600kms in a day your ass wil hurt on the xsr. The RS seat is alot wider so I think it will be better. Ill find out in july, I will sometimes have long highway trips since I wil be taking It on some long distance trips.
I'd love to see you take the XSR900 to the track.
It's a great bike for the track, i've have 3 trackdays with it and supersports are surprised when i overtake them ;)
You did a video riding this bike before. or was it just my imagination ? because I totally remember you talking about how great it was in a past video.
Hey, I know those corners!
Right after I typed that you road by my old Apt.
The new Xr900 GP coming out too woot woot
Another similar bike I can think of is Indian FTR. Even the HP. Really want to see a comparison
Conversation at Yamaha
Who makes the best motorcycles?
We do!!!
OK Bob wash the brown off you nose...
seriously who makes the best motorcycles?
Triumph?
OK, we're making a Triumph!
Saw this kick ass video of some guy with a new XSR900 doing some serious twisty road riding at 130+ MPH. He has this Super Cool Fuzzy "Yammie Noob" cup/Beer cozy holder on his handlebars that was taking a Beating, but survived!
You have one too!! Gettin' me one!
Just realized it's to keep your brake fluid cool? Darn.. want a beer cozy!
It's a great bike. Responsive, powerful, reliable, and it rips Yamaha nailed it. No way you're a Yamaha simp, Guy who named his channel after the company that made his r3.
I was wondering how this would compare to the street triple rs? Similar in terms of power and price though they’re both trying to achieve something different. Also have a gsxs 1000 gt on my radar. So confused with the choices.
My very first motorcycle was a brand new R6 and i was surprised by how many dealers try to sell you something smaller for a first bike. I only wanna buy one not another a year later 😂
Coming soon ;) Blue!
This bike has been in production for well over a year and still haven't seen one at the dealer or in the wild, gr mich
Same the only Yamahas I’ve seen at dealers is the r3 and mt03 maybe a few r7 so and mt07s
Yammieeee - Any "Heat in the Feet" ??
As someone who’s had a 16’ XSR for about 5 years now, I lovveeee it. Was thinking about switching it out for the newer version but I much prefer the styling of the older years. Obviously all the new tech & upgrades are nice but not enough for me to justify the switch. Prolly gonna bite the ugly & expensive bullet & jump up to the 1290 Duke 🤷🏽
it looks so good... personally would go for XSR700...
No imu on the 700 tho
Take it to track 🤩
@yammienoob do you think the R9 that is coming out in 2024 would be that triple engine with higher RPM range?
the xsr 900 doesn't really let you use the quicksifter if you're currently at redline
😂😂😂I have to test drive that one 😊
i was driving a cruiser and sold it to buy this one. im not going back
Which one would you buy, the Honda CB1000R or the Yamaha XSR900?
cable with a modern slipper clutch can't be beat.. hydraulic you can't feel the clutch plates touch like you can with a cable. W/ centrifugal assist, you don't need huge clutch springs..
Front end is light, raise forks in trees ala factory 3rd gen, set suspension and your golden.
This already has the Gen3 frame... you sure it's a good idea to change the geometry?
My MT09 SP is already pretty responsive on the front end... how would raising the forks change it?
I love mine absolutely fantastic bike ❤
Want to see the comparison between the 2024 street triple 765
So I have to ask since I recently watched this 2023 xsr900 and your 2022 xsr900 video. Which one did you like more? You really seemed to like both in your videos.
They are exactly the same
Clutch from 1 -2nd then push pressure and redline will click into 3rd
Not sure if its just me but video quality seems low in this video and dark. Did you use a different camera or settings?
You should try SPEED TWİN 1200 ✌🏻😎
This is my dream bike!
I think I really like this bike! What is your favorite-sounding aftermarket exhaust on this engine? Cheers!
And what now?guys help me ,what second bike I should get? After rc390 this xsr 900 or tuono 660?
Oh I want to ride one of these so bad.
me 3 , cp3 .
when you hit the limmiter the quick shifter dosent work.. you need to shit before ou hit the limiter and it will work every time (i have over 20k km on a 21 mt09 and it does the same)
Ya I found a video where he explained that at rev limiter the throttle of the bike is going on and off and it has to be on for the qs so it won't work at very rev limit. I got the vcyclenut tune and he raised the revs just 250 rpm and that little extra seems to give me what I need to manage to shift on time because it hasn't happened since.
Please compare to a street triple!
Buy a show of hands who was lucky enough to land a 2013 (titled 14) , 09 !? I found one and jumped on it. The few that sneaked threw into the US. 😉
Quick shifter up and down? Meaning you never have to touch the clutch for shifting?
I love that motor. The tourque/power comes on a lot like my old V 65 1100😢 Sabre.
It's really nice to be able to pick a gear that will take you all the way through a corner and shoot you out oof the escape like you were showing in 4th and 3rd!!🎉rough
How much difference is it from the 2019 xsr 900
would u say its better then the CB650R?
Xsr 900 are more sporty and fun then Mt 09✊🔥
It's too much power for you.
@@kalnwi2023 🤣🤣
Which roadway is this filmed? I am in DFw with this exact bike!
How does it compared to the Honda CB1000R?
Wamted this bike as soon as i saw it
are you gonna try the Suzuki GSX 8S?
I know I’m crazy I want one of these as my first bike
Is this a good bike for a tall person? I'm 6'1
When are you going to take this thing on the track?
