Yamaha XSR900 - would you?

[speedog]

Haven't paid much attention to motorbikes in recent years but this new Yamaha XSR900 has certainly caught my eye - just not sure which version I like best but the aluminum tanked one seems to stand out just a bit more...

That looks pretty good yes.

Hell yeah

Saw it in person at the bike show and yes, absolutely i would rock one!

I love this bike. Really up there on the list of bikes to buy, but I wish this came in the same green as the XSR700. The green on the 700 is so nice!

Wow that green is really nice. Now I want one. :D

Love that body style. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on a Ducati Scrambler. But this is very interesting :dunno:

I know, right? And the crappy thing is, you couldn't get an XSR700 even if you wanted to because it's not available in North America.

For the XSR900, I would have been first in line to get one if it came in a nicer color.

Thats a good looking ride. Similar theme to the Bolt.

I love the XSR900, love the style. I may be biased as someone who just picked up an FZ-09.

Congrats on the FZ! Me and my buddies are sport bike guys but when we seen the fz at the show we were all really impressed with how it looks and feels. Should be a sick ride

[BokCh0y]

Fuck yeah and I'd take the aluminum version.

Should pair nicely with my 600RR. I've always hated riding the 600RR any further than Canmore, so I'm hoping the FZ will be much more tolerable for the highway. I rode my buddies FJ-09, and it was amazing, but I didn't want all the fairings, so I'm hoping the FZ is a good compromise.

I'm still hoping they release the XSR700 to North America.....

XSR900 is pretty sick though.
