Yamaha XSR900 First Ride Review
www.revzilla.co...
One of the hottest new bikes of 2016 in one of the most enjoyable cities in the world. Sound like fun? Yeah. Lemmy thought so too! So when Yamaha invited him out to California for a first ride review on the newly-unveiled XSR900, it was far more than just a way to escape a rainy Philadelphia Spring.
From the moment that it was simultaneously announced last November in both Milan, Italy and Los Angeles, CA, the 2016 XSR900 has captivated the hearts and minds of avid motorcyclists on multiple continents. Fast and lean, yet all-day comfortable with a signature throwback aesthetic, the XSR900 has garnered rave reviews from top to bottom since moment one. After getting his hands on the bike and putting down a quick 150 miles, Lemmy compiles his thoughts together in this Yamaha XSR900 First Ride Review.
For the full RevZilla video motorcycle review treatment, be sure to stay tuned! There is much more to come on the XSR900 when Lemmy and the team can get some more time on the bike later this year.

You guys really are setting the bar for production value on motorcycle media, keep it up!

Great review as always Lemmy. The XSR 900 is an awesome bike and with the engine from the FZ09 you know this thing is a hoot!

@MrJacqueslouwvermeul 8 лет назад

Love Lemmy's enthusiasm and general way of speaking to the public. Keep it Rocking big boy!!

@giff74 8 лет назад

Another great review! You guys are the gold standard these days. I can't wait for the long version. I love the XSR900, it's like they took an FZ-09 and threw an old school look on it. Lemmy is right, lots of different riders should like this bike.

@AmbassadorZim 8 лет назад

+giff74 thats actually exactly what they did, its the FZ09 frame and engine, just a different look and ABS/TCS

@dahveed284 8 лет назад

Nice review and excellent video. Production values have really improved in this channel over the years. I'm really interested in this bike. Looking forward to a more exhaustive review coming this summer.

@MrBbs67 8 лет назад

I originally had a Honda Nighthawk 700s, then upgraded to a Kawasaki ZRX 1100 both great bikes in the Universal Japanese Motorcyle category, and no other bike has come along that has really intrigued me since.... UNTIL NOW. Great review, and spot on in terms of how this bike transcends buyer age.

@scottpiligram18 8 лет назад

his review is so butterly smooth and clean..i like it!!

@pinkie5839 8 лет назад

Nice review Lemmy! As a Street Triple R owner this bike is right up my alley....and it is always nice to see a fellow big guy riding something other than a block of iron.

@the8jrfan 8 лет назад

Yay Lemmy!!!!

@melsilva9158 8 лет назад

Nice work Lemmy! I really enjoy watching his work. He always seems so enthusiastic and unpretentious.

@RideByNight 8 лет назад

Lemmy is a champion reviewer.

@awesomo9262 8 лет назад

you make some damn entertaining reviews i really enjoyed it :)

@lilyuen 8 лет назад

Lemmy makes the review feel so uplifting. Even with his subjective opinion about styling that other people may not agree with. Lemmy would make an awesome high school teacher for mechanics or something.

@Vv18_._ 8 лет назад

whether it was negative or positive for the bike, i knew it was gonna be a good review, bc Lemmy is a bigger dude. i dont wanna see 5'10, 175lb guys everytime. i wanna see big dudes and even small/short guys

@guyowen9727 7 лет назад

Your videos are the best on RU-vid. Thanks

@richardedwards8648 8 лет назад

I'm a 40 something and I bought one of the first ones my dealer had. I love UJM bikes and I'm glad Yamaha has brought it back in a way better way than Honda did it with the CB1100. This bike hauls and is super comfortable. Love this bike and I don't mind that I have to change a few cosmetic things. I customize every bike I own anyway.

@Blindspotnj 6 лет назад

Killer review! I just picked up a 2016 in silver,Ive had lots of bikes but this covers all the bases for me. I also own a Triumph Bobber. I’ve ordered the 60th anniversary yellow gas tank panels, and fenders to get that color I love ,tail tidy and bar end mirrors. Thanks for a great review

@RicardoR5 8 лет назад

Man Lemmy has that thing inm him that makes people like other people, he's a nice bloke, make more videos with him

@LASadvgrrl 8 лет назад

I really am interested in this bike..Love the Ducati and would love a scarmbler with knobbies as a fun second bike..nice job Lemmy

@planedr 8 лет назад

Lemmy was spot on with the demographics it's aimed at. I'm 50 and I want to trade my Street Triple in for one of these. I have my Harley for when I feel 50 and my Triumph for when I feel 20. My buddy has an MT-09(FZ-09) and being the same basic bike, except without the fueling issues. I've ridden his and an XSR and I like the XSR better. It looks better and runs better. The suspension felt the same to me.

@seanord 8 лет назад

Yeah, Lemmy is pretty great. Keep the good coverage coming, nice job.

@mikhailtessier1 8 лет назад

Really hope you guys will do some more videos on the xsr900! some part videos would be awesome as there aren't really any on youtube yet.

@M3RRIH3W13 8 лет назад

I'm in my 50's, I loved UJM bikes. UJM's were easy to maintain, cheap, plentiful, and user friendly. This bike adds nice tech, wheels, and suspension for reasonably cheap. A lot of UJM riders are eBay masters stockpiling parts for their favorite bikes. I'm fine with 115 hp on a light naked bike. I think the manufacturer that goes full UJM at the lowest price point, will win this new segment.

@Tware8100 8 лет назад

PLEASE DO A FULL DUCATI XDIAVEL REVIEW. Love Lemmy's way of reviewing bikes.

@T0BBi94 8 лет назад

Lemmy looked soo happy in the beginning! :D

@latinleon85 8 лет назад

After seeing this and a bit of digging on the internet I realized that in Europe they have the xsr700 (fz07) but with that look. I want that!

@schlooonginator1227 8 лет назад

God I want this machine. As a complete motorbike noob,this appeals to me much more than the traditional "classc" bikes by Harley, Triumph and Ducati. Am I right in the assumption that the non Japanese brands have a more "cult" like loyal following within this segment? I am assuming so hearing about the abundant after market for those bikes. While I do admit the other bikes have a more authentic vintage style and a more older style too, this bike really appeals to me. Somehow I never imagined a Japanese bike ever being "classic" but looking at the older Yams and seeing this I really like the look of both and think they simply pulled it off perfectly. I mean, the thing is a beast! What bike in the vintage class could ever approach this thing even with thousands in afer market? I like sleeper muscle cars and this bike is like that, a sleeper, at first glance it looks mellow but really look and you see a wolf in sheeps clothing, love it.

@adammccurdy7481 8 лет назад

Been waiting for this one!

@JustJesseOfficial 8 лет назад

I'm gonna be getting a permit soon and I'm super interested in this bike. It seems really stable, calm until you piss it off. I hope to see the full review later this summer.

@crossofintimidation 8 лет назад

I was thinking of getting an FZ-07, but after seeing and hearing this bike, I am reconsidering.

@hammar324 8 лет назад

When you said aesthetics I thought you were going to mention that the swingarm looks way too modern and out of place on a "classic bike" but that's because it was lifted straight from the FZ-09 along with the frame. But you can't really complain, that's part of the reason it's so cheap, because it's an FZ-09 with a cafe conversion kit done to it.

@Motoadventurespr 8 лет назад

super cool review Lemmy. Thanks

@Ladon68 8 лет назад

As soon as I get back from JRTC, this bike is mine!

@stevecummings3228 8 лет назад

As usual your review is awesome! Way better the Motorcycle.com or MotoUSA. Keep it up!

@Kaspurr84 8 лет назад

I'm keeping my eyes on Honda to hopefully re-launch the CB1100 with some tweaks for 2017, it was discontinued in 2014 but rumors are it's coming back. Loved that bike but the 2013 introduction showed it needed some improvement here and there. Like dual side exhaust being standard instead of an option on the 2014.. But no denying the sound and feel of an air/oil cooled inline 4 is some true heritage

@MicroMyApple 8 лет назад

It sounds like you guys are using a new microphone! It just doesn't sound like the Lemmy I'm use to hearing!

@Arill0 8 лет назад

Looks like my Honda 919 on paper. Guess Honda was ahead of its time in 2002-2007.

@KT-nl7rp 8 лет назад

Yamaha has always kept a couple retro UJM's in it's line-up. Thinking of the XJR1300

@daithilacha1 8 лет назад

Biggest problem with the Honda was its bland looks and modest HP output, less even than this smaller engine Yamaha. It kind of felt like it lacked character in a typical Honda way, though it performed efficiently and was reliable. Kind of like a typical Honda product.

@CycleCruza 8 лет назад

Looks like a 70's bike. Imo, FZ-09 looks better. The big question: Is the suspension better than the FZ-09?

@RevZilla 8 лет назад

+CycleCruza Lemmy hasn't ridden an FZ-09 yet, but Yamaha claims the XSR's suspension is different than the FZ-09's. Hopefully that means it's better. -DrewZilla

@CycleCruza 8 лет назад

RevZilla Thanks for the reply!

@gauravm90 8 лет назад

Fine piece of craft

@charged 8 лет назад

I'd actually applaud Yamaha for using parts bin turns and tails on this bike. Don't spend any development money on those parts (and pass the cost on to the customer) because those always the first parts anyone replaces and customizes on these types of bike.

@j.whiting7177 6 лет назад

Everyone loves Lemmy!

@huskynu13 8 лет назад

Lemmy, you look so happy in this haha Please tell me you guys are going to put the new 2016 MV Agusta Brutale 800 through its paces.

@RevZilla 8 лет назад

+Herling David Romero Adrianza There are a ton of bikes we'd like to review, so it's possible the MV could be among them. -DrewZilla

@EverythingisFire 8 лет назад

You should do a review on the Yamaha-"Bolt" in the mean time, Lemmy!

@kobayashimaru8114 8 лет назад

I really want this to be my next bike

@recpro7847 8 лет назад

We just got ours on the floor today. Feels good, but as with the FZ10, the parts bin thing is apparent.

@AdamSVT 8 лет назад

I really like this bike.. great starting point..

@nn.4410 8 лет назад

Would love to see Lemmy review the Yamaha Bolt XV950! He did a great review on the Sportster, the Bolt should be no problem

Perhaps we will! -DrewZilla

The only thing I don't like on these modern interpretations of classic styled bikes is the single digital clock. I like my retros with dual clocks and I like them analogue

@RevZilla 8 лет назад

+JoeGo101 Once dealers sell down the rest of the 2015 FZ1 models, Yamaha might bring over the MT-10 (FZ-10). Perhaps it'll arrive for 2017. -DrewZilla

It's for me. My wife doesn't want me to have a sport bike, I'm not in love with my Triumph Speedmaster, and I need to split the difference. And I'm partial to Cafe Racers. And I'm tall. And I want one. Now.

@nazhif1 8 лет назад

Really can't decide which I love more. The Duc Scrambler or the Yamaha. The Duc has a brilliant V twin & well it's a Duc. The Yamaha is a better bike to live with everyday & probably cheaper in the long run

@cameronanderson6119 8 лет назад

+nazhif1 Yamaha, all the way.

@nominalvelocity 8 лет назад

I never could understand why Yamaha went all team blue a while back. Yamaha yellow and the classic speed block pattern is where it's at.

@YAMR1000 4 года назад

All the cons are a plus because mods are just half the fun

@DustyCowdog 8 лет назад

How about a comparison with BMW R 9 T? Nice Video!

@RevZilla 8 лет назад

+DustyCowdog Lemmy hasn't review an R nineT yet, but if he does, he'd likely compare it to the XSR900. -DrewZilla

@robtbomba3491 8 лет назад

Easily- and quickly-accessible fuse box ... NOT a bad thing. Nice review, and it looks like a nice bike, especially if being a contortionist isn't required or necessary.

@mjr4314 8 лет назад

Would love to see Street Twin vs. this one. Same CC, Yamaha has more HP, but Street Twin has more torque I think? Curious to see which one is seen as better.

@RevZilla 8 лет назад

+Mark Rothermel The XSR900 has about 65 lb-ft of torque compared to the Street Twin's 59, but the Street Twin makes its peak torque at a low 3,200 RPM. The XSR definitely has more horsepower, as the Street Twin makes 55 HP max at 5,900 RPM compared to the XSR's roughly 115 HP. The XSR also weighs less. -DrewZilla

@mjr4314 8 лет назад

+RevZilla Wow. Time to trade in my Street Twin? Actually, I really like the torque at the low RPM of the Street Twin. You never feel like you are in the wrong gear. Lighter than the Street Twin? Wow, this must be quite a bike. Interesting to not have Spurgeon review both. Nothing against Lemmy, though...

@prashanthk9 8 лет назад

Hey lemmy..which one do u think will win a retro bike shootout between the new triumph street twin and yamaha xsr 900?

@RevZilla 8 лет назад

+prashanthk8 Those two bikes are for two different riders. The Street Twin has less power and is ideal for newer riders. The XSR900 is a true sport bike with more power for experienced riders. -DrewZilla

@MJT-DA 8 лет назад

This is awesome! now all yamaha has to do is drop their r6 give it the triple engine and make it a 680cc bike that tuned to rev high! It will be light weight, bit more torque and be skinner!

@jace2wheel762 8 лет назад

it's an fz09 with a different cluster and headlight. so yamaha is trying to cash in on the same exact bike. twice. come on July.....fz (MT)10 north American release!

@JefersonRV3 8 лет назад

It looks lighter than fz09 is it true? Can't Imagine how freaking cool will be the wheelies, riding it hard on a highway... is it good for cornering?

@RevZilla 8 лет назад

+JefersonRV3 The FZ-09 is 414 lbs. wet, while the XSR900 is 430 lbs. wet. That means the XSR is heavier. As for cornering, I think you can tell that Lemmy was having a blast in the twisties. -DrewZilla

@JefersonRV3 8 лет назад

Nice! Thank you! I love your reviews!!

@slippityslappity449 8 лет назад

How would this bike fit a fellah of about 6'3" with 33" inseam? Would my knees be all jammed up and shit? I love my KLR but I'd love to have something in the mid-range world that is a little sportier.

@RevZilla 8 лет назад

Your knees shouldn't be jammed up. It's worth seeing if you can sit on one at a dealer though. -DrewZilla

@josemhs1213 8 лет назад

Damn id want to make this into a scrambler type bike any thoughts on that possibility?

@RevZilla 8 лет назад

+JodogXMC Continental makes the TKC80 50/50 tire in the XSR's sizes, but they'll have an awful ride quality. For better handling options, look at the Pirelli Scorpion Trail II, Avon AV54 Trailrider, and Pirelli MT60RS options. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/pirelli-scorpion-trail-ii-dual-sport-tires *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/avon-av54-trailrider-tires *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/pirelli-mt60rs-tires
