I like how everything improved the 2021 MT09 except the looks. I sold my 2017 MT09 and I really miss that engine. So glad Yamaha didn't go crazy on the looks for the 2022 XSR900! This is an instant buy for me!
It's like Honda cb650/1000 r neo classic
Yamaha just destroyed the design of the mt series
Nah I like the New MTs. They now look nothing like the kawasaki Zeds.
@@promit8562 MT 07, 09, T max, they used to be beautiful, and then boom the facelift destroy it all
Last edition xsr900s ugliest sister
Superbly done! I'm happy for you, to see this channel has grown so much, and the content has evolved into some pretty premium stuff. You're a natural orator to boot!
Awesome! Thanks very much Philly! 👍
Currently own a 3rd generation MT09 and so glad to see YAMAHA's other models getting an update. This bike looks sick. Beautiful blue color with gold. And design is simply more legendary 😍
this is One modern classic bike that I would love to Own, all the improvements that they have done from the previous model are huge.
This is the most detailed breakdown of this bike I've seen yet and the damn thing hasn't even come out yet! I'm definitely excited for it and I'm glad I didn't run out and but an MT09
Thanks Adam! 👍
Being an owner of the 2016 xsr and gutting literally all of the futuristic stuff for more of an 80s heritage styling, I am so appreciative for this analysis. I'm glad that Yamaha is taking the platform in a different direction, and now wish that I didn't have to spend almost 3k in modifications to make mine look and perform like what is now coming straight off of the assembly line.
Great review. Showing different height riders in relation to how they fit on the bike, ability to touch the ground, is a great idea. Well done!
Thank you! 👍
@@BikesILike this is super idea, that no-one pays attention to!) Great job
Great video. I didn’t notice all of the styling cues until you pointed them out. It is a really great looking motorcycle.
That triple is a beast. I’ve own a 2015 FJ-09 with the CP3 and It was always a blast of torque, power and reliability! Zero problem. I switched to maxi-trail (ST XT-1200es) in 2020; best bike ever! Yamaha means… everything. Great channel, mate.
Thanks JF!
I got my 2022xsr 900 Saturday! It’s a blast to drive even in the warm Florida rain!! Superb machine no doubt.
your the only video i saw who shows what it looks like depending on rider height. i appreciate this. thank you so much! keep it up!
Thank you, will do! 👍
I had the first xsr (60th anniversary edition) it handled beautifully, i love the look of the new one too. I will have a test ride as soon as i can.
Excellent video, particularly liked the rider fitment guide at the end. Very complete information, I too consider the new XSR to be much better judged stylistically and well featured, a very nice machine although an extra colour choice might’ve been nice but the blue is pretty sweet.
Thank you!
This is how should every comparison video be like! Thank you and hope you keep doing this type of video
Really great video and really great bike. I think I may finally make the jump from the xsr700 to the xsr900. I love the throwback 80's vintage styling cues.
I got a 2016 XSR900 and I'm still a happy camper.
The 2022 XSR900 model looks amazing - anyone who gets it will be a very happy camper.
This is what I was looking for a detailed comparison...well done..thanks ❤
Had an XSR700 and loved it, did loads of mods, always fancied the 900 but not enough. I'd have the new one in a heartbeat.
Hey thanks for the pictures of seat height/ride height to rider fitment, no one else I've seen does that and it's very helpful. Yeah I'm looking into this version over the mt-09 myself
Thanks a lot for your profound comparison between the new XSR900 and its predecessor. It only confirms my decision to order it without test riding it. Kind regards from Germany.
Fantastic video, incredible amount of useful information here that surprisingly I have not come across in its totality elsewhere. Great work!
Thanks Joseph!
Man, I remember when you had 5k subs, BIL, and the content keeps getting better. Good on ya, is I think the right thing to say.
Thanks Al! Yep spot on! 😁👍
Awww yea, another in depth kickass video. Im still trying to find the bike I want. And because you stay up to date on releases. I always get the best info here. Thanks again big man.
Thanks 90's kid! 👍
It needs a painted cover on the pillion seat. I would also like a color matched lower cowling to cover some of the pipes. I agree on the cruise control. Should be on all bikes that have throttle by wire.
Very nice. Though i did like the RD type paint scheme on the earlier bike. The heady days of blue smoke and more power than you thought possible.
At first look l hated that seat/ back end but I’m getting to like it more and more, helped by all the changes you so entertainingly show.
Always fancied a triple, and love Yamaha- first bike a FS1-DX , sadly restricted.
Great summary of the changes, and I agree that the new gen is much more appealing (especially the new dash)
Thanks Mark! 👍
Excellent run down. Just went to my local Yamaha dealer and Im seriously considering getting one of these. Best bike in its class and price range ✌️
Very well put together video Sir. 😊 I’m loving the new Yamaha XSR-900 as well.
Thank you!
Really like the deep analysis on the styling changes!
Thank you!
Thank you for the very nice presentation of the new XSR 900 and for the comparison of the two bike models. Job, very well done! The rear peg gets its inspiration (I think) from the MT-01 design, launched in the year of 2005, which had also a similar solution. Just Brilliant!
Thanks Brito! There you go. Everyday I learn something new. 👍
@@BikesILike besides the excellent video you’ve made, you’re also a true gentleman.
You got a new subscriber of the channel!
@@Fernando90054 Thanks very much Brito!
I love how you put this video together! Clean, useful and to the point. Subbed!
Thanks Steve! 👍
Very comprehensive review. Some things O had not thought. Love to see a test review.
Thank you! I will try! 👍
Nice report! Especially the close look to all the details and improvements. Thank you very much. The bike has a great design imo. There is no other around there with this nice 80s look. For me this is much more unique than a 900 kawa for example. I do like it really much. And after 17 years now i'm thinking bout selling my fz6 for this wet dream 😌 good job! Greetings from Germany to all the riders ot there 🤘
Thank you! And hello Germany! 👍
I own a 2020 mt09 got it because I couldn't get the dream bike xsr900 but now the time has come when this one comes out will definitely try to get my hands on it! Great video!
Thank you! 👍
This was a concise and great review. I especially loved the "way you would look" on the bike photos. I have always wondered about how a person of my height would look on a bike that I have not seen in person. Keep up the great work.
Thanks very much Sandford! I have a whole "Do I Fit" series showing riders 5'3" - 6'4" on bikes. You can find all those videos here tinyurl.com/DIF-Videos
@@BikesILike Thanks mate, will take a look.
Fantastic review. One of the best I've seen. Thanks
Thanks Ian! 👍
The old one looks better
And the engine is top
I like the engine improvements, the frame, the tft screen and the wheels. Dont like headlight, hate the seat, hate the exhaust and dont like that the small aluminium rear mudguard is now gone. For the look of the bike as a whole, i prefer the look of my current xsr9. I'll look forward to seeing it in the flesh, but from the pics i cant see me upgrading to this new one.
Agree 💯!
I own the previous model and agree with you. The old looks more clean and minimalistic, and the engine is simply awesome. The new is cleaner? I do not care, the old one makes 65 mpg driving normally and that is fantastic. The TFT new screen looks superior and the 2022 model has control cruise, end of the story.
@@josevi5835 the only real reason to change is the newer MT frame is fucking amazing, extremely firm, and refuses to pogo stick but as long as you don't push it the old ones are awesome
I was waiting for the 2022 but i guess i will Buy a Discounted 2021. The seat ans tank is really Ugly! But frame look good
Its not just about hte exterior. Look at the TECH included in the 2022. 6 axis IMU, cruise control, improved traction control etc etc. Doesn't even come close to the previous generations. That alot is a reason to upgrade.
Just sold my 2013 triumph street triple R and bought a Vespa in the medium term. I think I will wait for the release of the new xsr900. Great overview. tah
I am glad Yamaha have gone this route this frame looks like it will give improved handling love it great review simple and covered in enough depth for nerds I like it bravo
Thank you! 👍
Holy run on sentence
Very informative, looks a great package for everyone, thanks
Thanks for the FunTastic review ... i was comparing specs with my 2015 BMW R1200R LC. I guess, i'm a keeper.
If you already have a great bike no need to change. 👍
Thank you , for me this is a very informative video looking at the design choices amongst other things, rather than just the next "spooling down stats" clip. I quite liked the outgoing XSR 900, but prefer to have a Euro5 bike. So I grudgingly tried out the 2021 MT09, loved the riding feel, and came around to liking the insectile look. And then this beauty dropped. The high contrast gold-and-blue paint scheme initially looked a bit shtronk, but it has grown on me. I will order mine for next season this week, let's see what the delivery time is to Europe...
Thanks for the feedback Claes I really appreciate it! 👍
I am planning to buy xsr 900 and this is very helpfull video, thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent review. I look forward to seeing your test ride. I am very interested in two things. Firstly, what wind protection - even small shield yamaha will offer for those of us who get out on the freeway? Second, will yamaha offer some kind of retro pannier bags for those of us who have to take stuff to and from work. Im keen!
Brilliant review of new brilliant redesign. Well done Yamaha.
Oh, cool machine.. kinda like this more than the mt09
Have some nice details too!
I am currently riding 2017 Suzuki GSX S750. I like my S750, but I wish it is a bit lighter and has a quick shifter for the city ride...
I am seriously considering 2022 XSR900. Hopefully, the aftermarket parts such a frame slider (or cage), wind screen, etc come out soon too...
Nice vid. I love the section at 7:48, it gives short rider like me an idea if I can fit in the bike well.
If you're new to the channel and liked that section. Here's a video list of all the bikes I've covered so far in this series. tinyurl.com/DIF-Videos
And here's the playlist. 'DO I FIT' series playlist: czcams.com/users/playlist?
As somebody who currently has an '15 R1, '14 FZ09, and '19 MT09 I think I'm gonna have to make some room for an XSR finally
Glad I held out of getting a previous gen XSR can't wait for the 2022
You made me love the new xsr 900 2022 than the olds one. Law of attraction, I will buy 1 XSR900 soon
l really liked all the differences you pointed out except the new seat looks off but l get what they re trying to do ,classic rear cowl look . l do prefer the old new frame appearance compared to the 2021 model much cleaner /stiffer too .l love the BLUE /GOLD COMBO TOO
I remember the end of privateer F1. Kenny Roberts on the OW and Freddy Spencer on a NSR lapping my Fast by Gast H2.
That new seat is HIDEOUS! though I believe it's hollow so hopefully someone will come up with a nice looking replacement seat. I still prefer the looks of the old bike :-)
That was a nice review, and thanks for adding inch/gallon equivalents.
You're welcome thanks Rick 👍
Great review, I really want one of these.
Superb presentation of the new model and comparison with the prior one.
Many thanks! 👍
don't say this much, but just loved the review, from useful detailed content to clear and clean images and videos to showcase them. thank you
Thank you very much Farshid! 👍
Great vid thanks! Hopefully they do the same with the 700, the color reminds me of the RZ350 i wanted when I was 16 roughly 30 yrs ago.
Thank you! 👍
This will be my next bike its absolutely a beautiful bike, hopefully this time next year i will have one in blue color 💙 😀
At first, i dont like the seat on this new model. But after observing it for a couple minutes, I got the spark. Yeah, this bike looks good.
If I could change anything about this bike. It would be that the CP3 Motor would use a T-plane crank “actual cross plane for a triple” like the new tiger 900. Those T plain triple‘s just have a much better sound to me and have even more grunt in the low range. Plus they sound more like a cross plane motor. Very akin to the MT 07 and MT 10
Great review great bike I'll dream on but who knows what the future holds. Thanks bil for all the info🙏
You're welcome Barry! 👍
Great changes on the frame. This definetly means there will be a R9 model where this type of frame is even more useful. Same goes for Tank and Swingarm design. Nice comparism!
Thank you! 👍
I looked at it and instantly thought "i wonder what it would look like with clip-ons and a full fairing?" It would make a nice road sports bike, now that the full fat litre sports bikes are getting more and more track focused.
I hope a colour matched seat cowl, belly pan and fly screen are released
O, this is a really good "working on bugs". More wide frame part.. really looks like it came from good old times. I don't know why, but I remember Honda VFR 400, when looking on this frame. And rear part looks harmonious, without this big "knee". Bike obviously ceased looking like a surprised puppy.
Good to see your face! Thanks for your excellent videos!
Thank you too! 👍
7:45 That is a really good idea on a video. I wish I would have thought of that.
Excellent tutorial 👌.
Wonderful overview, thanks so much, I'm keen to go check it out now. Yamaha should throw you a t-shirt for the good advertising LOL
Haha Thank you! 👍
Small correction about Yamaha's crossplane crank design. All inline-triples are crossplane (except something like Triump Tiger 900, which has T-plane)
We used to call them 120 degree cranks, before the marketing men got involved :-). Also early Jota triples were not "crossplane" cranks, they were 180 degree :-)
@@uhtred7860 It's what I mean about inline triples is that you don't even have to bother mentioning a triple being "crossplane" or with 120 degree crank. It's a given without saying.
When there is a difference, like in Tiger or old Laverda it's better to point it out.
Drooling after that XSR again
At 182cm, finally I 'fit' the XSR. In 2016, I was disappointed when I sat on the 900, I felt like I was perched on it. The 2022 model has addressed all the issues I originally had and virtually changed everything compared to the 1st model. I much preffered the Kawasaki Z900rs but it simply is no match for the package that the XSR900 is so I stayed bikeless through the pandemic. The timing from Yamaha is perfect, although I will seriously consider a repaint in Kenny Roberts Yellow/Black block pattern and possibly chrome a few bits, and polish that Deltabox frame & the swingarm to break up the amount of black. Enjoyed the review Bikes I like, and have subscribed. Thanks, Sydney, Australia.
Thank you and thanks for the sub!
Please explain what made you feel different about sizing from the gen1 xsr? I'm 180 cm and currently own a 2020. I feel a little snug in the legs and was looking at the new model, but when I saw that the seat is 20mm shorter, I felt discouraged.
I still like the 1st generation, but can appreciate the new generation, especially since you showed the racing heritage.
The new bike has evolved a lot in terms of aesthetics and proposal! I always thought the old version was kind of weird. The new one hit the nail on the beginning of the 80's proposal. Abraços do Brasil.
Obrigado e olá Brasil!
That's the very thing that attracted me to buy the older one it's quirky looking and different the new one looks kind of generic I wouldn't buy it
Good review. thanks
Everything is great except I really prefer the previous subframe that complements the headlight brackets
Im extremely interested in this bike and cant wait to try it out. Do hope they bring out a belly cowl of some sort to hide the rather ugly front of the exhaust
Lol this one is also in my top3, great vid, take care.
great review, I agree with your points
Very well nice review and editing, you totally deserved more subs sir
Thank you! 👍
Excellent comparison! I like the 2021 bike but I LOVE the new 2022!
Wow that bike looks awesome!
Yes this version is awesome I liked it as soon as I saw it
I love my mt09 2021 - but this xsr 900 2022 is hard to ignore. i have to think about a change... the engine ist the killer at all
Great video. I love that bike.
Another brilliant, thoroughgoing review. Hope Yamaha can take a hint. 😉
Thanks Guy! 👍
Excellent overview Thank you!
Thanks David! 👍
What a great video / video style.
The bike is not appealing to me, not only as Yamaha did a great job of shafting me on my latest purchase, but - and mainly - because I have physical problems exacerbated by this style of bike, though I have to say you did so thorough a job of detailing the new bike that I was ALMOST tempted to think about one. ALMOST.
If I were to go for one based on style, I would certainly choose the previous model.
Thank you for very helpful, informative review of the xsr900, makes me think about trading my 2021 street triple rs (which I'm crazy about) ... for 2022 xsr900 .... which would you pick
Great video….both are beauties but the 2022 is better designed for sure….I would gladly buy it!
Excellent video. On first sight of the two bikes side by side I felt that the new model had ruined the look of the bike. Yet , as you honed in on the individual changes, in each case I preferred the look over the previous model. In many ways, it's similar to what Ducati have done with the new Monster.
Thank you! 👍
Getting colder here, icy even.
Your videos get me crazy about riding, you think you could do review rides in Australia? Would be nice to hear you give realtime feedback on bikes while riding the landscape.
Thanks again 💪
I've done 3 ride reviews and I'd love to do more. The problem I have is getting hold of demo bikes. But I will keep trying. Below are the ride reviews I've done so far. 👍

Excellent content and production. I too prefer the new model over the old. although I would want to fabricate a cowling to paint and cover the rear seat matching the tank and also reinstate a traditional sized round headlight. and a bikini fairing , but that is I guess because my preference is classic race bikes. The swingarm and frame are huge improvement the old model looked too much like a robot on a rowing machine (very busy). You articulate the subtle changes well. Subscribed.
Thanks Spguzzi! 👍
First time viewer - nicely done. Looking forward to your ride test.

Much more pleasing to the eye!
