2024 Yamaha XSR900 Review | More fun than the XSR900 GP? 

I couldn’t agree more with your observations! Thats why I bought one! Thankyou for not wasting too much time on specs and instead focusing on how the bike makes you feel….appreciate that. Subscribed.

Picked up my XSR 900 on Friday and I love it. I'm only 5ft 3, so the seat height of even the GP version is too tall for me. 810mm is the most I can handle. Given that limitation, the XSR900 is possibly the best bike I've ever owned. Smooth and comfortable, and I can still get the ball of a foot down when I stop. I don't see it popping up in too many videos these days, so thanks for reviewing it. Keep up the great work :)

Your review was spot on. An everyday man's honest opinion! I think it's pretty much a perfect everyday sport bike. I'm hoping to purchase a Tracer 9 GT+ for touring. Yamaha has a unicorn here. I hope they don't mess it up. Cheers.

I have 2500km on my 2024 XSR900; I previously owned two first-gen models, a 2016 & a 2018, as well as a XSR700, MT07, and about 42 other bikes since 1969 😀 (I am 60). The 2024 is a superior motorcycle from a rideability standpoint, yet is still a traffic-punishing, hooligan machine when I so desire it to be. Anything we buy will be outdated by one to four model years down the road, so it is important to buy what fits your riding style and appeals to your perception of what a motorcycle should look like. That being said, anyone who criticizes a motorcycle before twisting the throttle, may be missing out.. and certainly this is true in the case of the second gen XSR900.

I’ve owned one others for a year or so and your review sums up my experience with it. An awesome bike, good for around town but then loads of fun on weekend drives too. A sensible sitting position though the seat lacks some cushioning. Glad you enjoyed it..!

Hey Dan. Good to see you. I opened this as I watch a lot of motorcycling videos. Immediately recognised you. I'm the Damian who used to work with Tim Davies at Bromley Bikes. I'm also a convert to motorbikes, only had my full licence a couple of years. Still riding mtb, in fact I'm off to Morzine in a couple of weeks. Hope you're good - looking well. You've gain a follow 👍

The headlight mounts should be blacked out

Nice articulate ride impression, thanks. Because of this, I have subscribed

TBH Im kinda surprised with your comments on comfort and suspension. I had the bike for 4 days and I found the suspension very hard and harsh (it was in factory setting), it was working well just on the smooth roads otherwise it was jumping like a goat. And the seat... it was just wooden plank.

I want this bike so much..

Nice Review Mr Mid-Life-Crisis, I hope to see more! I decided on the 2023 Blue version. As you said, it's got the engine, handling, low weight, flickability, electronics, and comfortable riding position! What more could you want...um...erhem a comfortable seat perhaps, yes indeed that was the first mod, some aftermarket Corbin leather cusioning for the aging rear end.😅

Lovely tank

The street triples a great bike but it just doesn't have the mid range grunt of the cp3

Great review. How tall are you? Wondering if at 6ft 3 if it will be a good fit. Thanks

Great review. I prefer the looks of the last gen XSR900, there's a weird amount of just "dead space" in the design. Look at the slab of black on the frame, the weird headlight proportions. If they got the looks a bit more together, it'd be the bike for me. It is floating in an awkward space between reto and neo-retro / retro-futuristic. It needs to commit one way or another.

👍

Torn between the xsr900 and the z900rs cafe. But lately the triumph bobber has piqued my interest. Dilemma😂

Nice engine, but I personally don't like the looks. The new 2024 MT09 is better looking but for me I would opt for the Triumph 765R as its more road biased and it's also a triple. 😊

Good review bud. I am about your age at 47 and havent ridden since I had kids 20 years ago....but i am buying one of these beautiful machines hopefully next year. Perfect mix of low end torque and top end hp with ~120hp peak. Upright riding position and wheelies anytime I feel like it on a bike that I find beautiful. Tail tidy on the arse end...yoshimura exhaust and an ECU flash makes these things literally the perfect motorcycle to me. They make nice aftermarket mirrors that go down instead of sticking out so far as well...honestly i would prefer to just have the mirrors that stick up from an MT09. So many ways to customize this bike. Hello from Charlotte, NC USA on this 4th of July!! Liked and subscribed

good review but the chest mounted camera view showing your other Gopro rather than the road ahead is not the best. Maybe go for a helmet mount to show a riders perspective of the road ahead.

Why ur front cam is on ur belly? angle is bad

I miss the tonality of the engine compared to my current CB1000R motor.

Unfortunately old electronics, old gen quick shifter, odd ergo, tiny tft. GP is cutting edge but not that comfortable. After testing 2024 GP & MT09 which is hands down the best mt09 sofar either wait for next XSR 900 evolution or buy mt09 2024

My son has one witch he loves, and i must say if i could I'd buy one two ❤️💪👍😉😉😀🏁🏍️🛺🐑🇵🇭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
