Legend says that hes still getting ready for that wheelie

That was a lot of talking about how easily it wheelies, but with no wheelies 🤔

This is an awesome bike. I have one and it fantastic. It is nimble and has power on tap in any gear at any rpm due to the linear torque curve. You can ride it easy in town but also insane on quiet stretches of highway. This is a keeper for me 100% !

I love watching the roads, the Turn Signs, Houses, Lawns and Driving discipline people follow in these kinds of videos. Its just mesmerizing for me. I am from India.

Had an FZ09 (same engine) and it was hard NOT to wheelie in the first 2 gears, and in full acceleration in 4th gear just a little bump in the road was enough to lift the front a bit. Super agile. The only downside was that it constantly begs you to do stuff you shoudln't be doing if your license has any value to you.

That bike looks cool as hell! Love the paint job. Even the gauge looks cool; I like the round retro look and the offset mount.

that was the traction control set to 2 not letting you wheelie at the beginning of your cruise. saved me a few times while I was learning on this as my first bike. you can just let completely off the throttle to change modes. love this bike so much

This is awesome!! I like power any and every time I need it. I like riding cruiser style bikes but growing up in my teens I bought a 2004 triumph speed four. I loved how low I could scrape my knees Corning and then shooting out of it full throttle. I miss having a rocket and this is right up my alley! Thanks for the video amigo!

Picked up a 2018 Yamaha XSR900 3 weeks ago and I'm loving it. Use it as a work commuter and for having fun on the weekends

Man I really need to get my hands on one of those. I had my heart set on an mt09 but now I think I prefer the xsr900

Test drove this bike two years in a row at Americade and between this bike and the Indian Scout they were my favorite to ride. Wouldn't mind owning this bike but if I can only have one bike I prefer cruisers. What a great bike. Thanks for the video and God Bless!

Yeah that's sick. My last bike was an 03 FZ1, and was the culmination of 25 years of riding. I sold it a few years ago because I thought I was too old, but it's hard to ride for 40 years and just give it up. These three bangers seem to be everywhere now a days and I really love mine naked. I have got to try a triple.

When it comes to the wind issue, I have an Ermax windscreen on my XSR900, and it does an amazing job breaking up the wind at highway speeds.

Bikes like this are the most fun to ride. I've owned over 20 bikes from 125 up to a busa. One thing that is a fact for me was the sv 650 pointy I rode into old age and eventual death was the most fun I've ever had on any bike ever. The sv is so forgiving it convinces you your Valentino Rossi. I've drifted the sv into turns had it sideways on purpose and by accident but it always helped me get back control without a catastrophe. They weren't joking when they said it's a perfect beginner into a bigger bike. I ride in London uk so streets are small and full of obsticles so that low down power and flickable handling are perfect. Aside from that naked bikes are no1. You feel the speed better and are more aware of what your doing because as the speed goes up you have to hang on harder. My last bit is start on a dirt bike as it will teach you lessons that you will come through to tell the tale. If I got straight on a busa I would prob be dead now. Respect the road and only open her up when the roads clear and there's no side roads!!! That rule has kept me safe. X

Saw this video for the first time a couple of months ago and it made me fall in love with the XSR900. I picked up my 2021 XSR900 this past weekend, thank you for showing me how badass this bike is.

Found your channel a little bit ago and just realized you're super local. I drive by spooky nook every day on the way to work at manheim auction! I'll def be checking you guys out when it comes time for my next purchase.

I have had one of these since they came out. It is an incredible bike. Those are Aluminum side covers, not plastic. The black center piece is plastic. The reason it feels more stable than the 700 is the slightly longer wheelbase. They are electronically limited to 132MPH which is more than fast enough.

Great overview of the Yame!! Makes me wanna go out and buy one! And the words of wisdom were the BEST PART brother! 👊🏼💪🏼

Thank you for the Review. Getting my 2019 Yamaha next week. It will actually be my 6th bike besides some Triumphs and A Royal Enfield and Moto Guzzi. I always go through your Reviews before I decide on buying anything m. Thanks a lot bro and keep the good work 👌🏼

My collection needed this bike, I watched this video a few months ago and now I have this xsr900 in my collection. Great video! Real nice bike and very informative content man.

Great review. I’ve been riding an XSR900 for just over a year, 80 miles a day in LA traffic, and I love it for all the reasons you mentioned. Fortunately, I still have the stock exhaust.

I love the the format of your videos keep up the good work!!!

I freaking love this channel, so many cool bikes!

That verse is so powerful! Thanks for reminding us. Great video 👍

Wow I really under appreciated these bikes, I think I want one now

All this talk about WHEELIES and never does one 😂😂

the tank cover is aluminum, not plastic, and it is expensive to replace.

Looks like a nice bike. Seemed like it was reving pretty high in the top gear at 70mph. I am a little curious as to the top speed numbers. I know it wasn't made for that but ... Nice camera view! Thanks for the vid!

Looks amazing. I like the rear indicator and brake light set up too. Of course with no number plate it's gonna look great.

I love this bike!!! I want one so bad. I can't believe it took you so long to discover it. They are so badass!!!!

That is a nice area you were riding in; reminds me of Norther Illinois.

I'm old, it looks great!

Fantastic bike...yamaha makes affordable quality bikes...i drive a 2017 Mt 07...and İ am happy with it....

I like the format change! A bit more walk around, words of wisdom big and bold! I watch these even if I'm not necessarily interested in owning the bike...

Liked it for the words of wisdom, and of course the fantastic review. Cheers

I love how simple and classy it looks. Like a retro modernized classic

Love the jeans color of the tank! Gonna to buy it for sure this year ...

I had a FZ-09 for a year. You can't keep the front wheel on the ground in A mode. It was a blast, but just a little too light for all the torque and power. Lots of fun, but easy to get in to trouble.

The 2022 xsr900 is even more of a beauty... I'm torn between the rear end looks but looking at at more n more I like it... grown to like it... cant wait for someone to do a ride review... with an exhaust fitted cuz that seems like all it needs from factory...

I’ve been on a binge of bike videos bc I’d like to get my first bike done day soon. After watching this great video, I have decided to go with.. the Viper in the background 🙌🏼🤩

Had an 07 fz1 converted to fz1n. Absolutely loved it. Dropped a tooth on the front sprocket, raised a tooth on the rear. Air box mod, eliminated the secondary throttle bodies. Power commander with a few tunes that I switched between. Gutted the cats, tried a few different slip on pipes. Had an extended swing arm at one point but switched back after a while. That bike was way too fast. But it looked so good. Nice video.

To someone who loves bikes but has only driven scooters, your review is really insightful. New subscriber 💪🏼

Great styling, and I like your mods too.

I watched this video and went and bought a 2019 xsr900 owned it for 6 months and it rides better than the mt and it also has traction control and abs 3 modes and lots of wheelie power

Man I love your test ride videos. I’ll be buying a bike from y’all very soon

I own one. Blows my mind everytime I ride it. Smile from ear to ear under my helmet. Yeet

I love it. That's a " hey babe, I got run to the store" bike if I ever saw one.

Thanks for puttin around all video.

Im an old nobody who hasn't ridden in a couple of decades. Im 71. But your videos and reviews are clear, substantial and professional and you are a master of presentation. Your videos make me feel like im twenty something again. My last new bike was. Honda CBX 1100. I bought some used ones after that but nothing brand new. Thanks for sharing and goid luck in your endeavirs, young man.

Thanks for the video! I wanted a r6 again... but I think this might be the better option for me now.

5:23 might want to tighten that throttle cable housing....

Absolutely love the video. I Just got one over the weekend. I love it keeping the traction control on 2 and Mode 2 until I get use it. Everything you said in the video is true about the bike.

Brings back memories of my '02 Street Triple... which I sold after 2 years because I was just getting too crazy on it without even thinking about it. I love the triple engine but I'll probably get the MT-07 just so I don't start doing 90mph in a 35mph zone.

Big fan of the new video format!!! 👍

I have an Fz07 which I love but this bike looks like a great step up I especially love the look and design especially this slightly upgraded version

Shawn's advice is definitely one of the best on this website

Bike sounds amazing. Reminds me of my FZ1, which I miss a lot.

Like the XSR900 I had for a short time they are a wonderfull bike yamaha really nailed the 3 cylinder engine for the street. Few bikes put that kind of stupid grin on my face at my age. Last Sept ran across a good deal on blue 2018 MT-10 that just felt so right so had to let the XSR900 go. I now have no regrets the MT-10 suspension and stability alone make it worth it. The engine and transmission are a jewel. Got to give Yamaha a big thumbs up for all the FZ/MT/XSR series of motorcycles.

Waited till the end of the video to see if that wheelie was going to happen and I’m still waiting. Solid video tho!

Beautiful bike and nice video. I am considering to get one and possibly the 900. With high power comes higher responsibility. Let us always ride with full gear and safely.

Idk why I'm watching this, I've been riding one of these for the past 2 years.

of course its the same engine as the MT-09, one of the best from yamaha. regards from Portugal

They have a real short wheel base. I test drove one and nearly did a complete skid circle on accident as I came back into the dealership parking lot. I'd want a longer wheel base/better suspension for really aggressive riding in the twisties. Killer mid range power though.

I just came across this video, I've never seen one of these bikes in person but I love the look of it. I'm going to buy either this or the fz09.

@srk love the new rating system, no longer do I think I can ride any bike as a newbie.

"shredding up in the canyons" (terrorizing the Amish community)

Really luv watchn these videos. Learn a lot about different bikes

We all have that one video that makes us sub......this one did it for me. This bike is just awesome! Subbed!!

I have the MT09SP... manic... love it. It can also be tame though, which makes it all the more great.

I have an fz07 and I love this bikes looks. Probably gonna be my upgrade later on.

You are the reason I went out and bought the vtx!!! Thanks!!! Runs great 40000+ miles

Yamaha did an outstanding job on the design of this bike. Just a really classic looking cafe done well.

Love my XSR900. Those tank side covers are aluminum. In traction control 1 you can wheelie but it won’t allow wheel slip

ok so i just bought one after watching this video , i think yamaha owes you money bro great job and i'm in love with this bike thanks for the video

Glad I seen tour post. Almost bought one. I always thought I wanted one. Thanks for saving me from a bad buy.

Somehow this bike was off of my radar until this afternoon when I saw a used one at a local dealership. Never was a huge fan of my he FZ/MT 09 aesthetic and heard it’s front suspension was pretty bad, and apparently Yamaha changed the suspension on these bikes. Plus they look better aesthetically to me anyway. I really think this will be my next bike and the bike that gets me bike into riding after a 2 year hiatus

3:46 "Yamahaw..."

Greetings from the UK. Reminds me of the old LC250

I get what you’re saying about the fz07 at high speeds, I’ve had my Drz screaming at 110, trying to make it go faster but it just doesn’t, but my fz07 feels so much faster when you’re doing over 85mph, almost a little unstable, but I love both bikes

I want a bike like this. I love the style and it would keep me safer then my other options.

I love the Yamaha 900s. I prefer the looks of the MT-09 though. Ride safe.

Really wanna just go purchase this rn

I love the look it reminds me of bikes in 80 and 90s I use to ride just little up to date.

Hey man I'm new to your channel but I watched you riding a boss hog the other day, I was on my way out the door, but I could have swore you were riding on 283 lol. I think you're in my area. I could be wrong. Love your content. Shopping my first bike this summer. Finally.

It reminds me a bit of the old RD350LC from the 80s

Beautiful one, will buy soon. thanks for the review.

"It's 1000% an MT09" So it's 10 MT09s

Great video, but I gotta comment on some things. The tank covers are aluminum, not plastic. Traction control won't impact wheelies, riding mode will. If your arms feel like they're being "pulled from their sockets" then you're riding wrong (hold on the bike using legs and core, keep arms loose). My opinion: love my XSR900 but too much power for a naked.

one of the best looking bikes too, it looks more "neo-retro" and beautiful than CB1000R.

I love how you stick to the words of wisdom. God bless

There’s a Roland Sands design attribution. I think it’s the headlight brackets and metalworks with the circles. I do love that bike but chose the CB1000R over it for the more modern look of the CB. That’s a bike you’d love, Sean

I love the xsr styling. The fz/mt is cool but it doesn't stand out in my mind. I want an xsr900 but that 900cc triple is a beast and the 700 might be more fun as a lighter, hooligan cafe racer. I would have a hard time deciding. Imagine if you had to pick between a camaro with a ton of power, or an s2000/miata that you could treat like a go kart.

Japanese version of my Triumph Speed Triple! Sounds great!

Lovin' that Bass note from the exhaust at idle Sean.... So an Mgp Growler, eh? $700 smackers ... wow..pricey! Looks like the welding done was way to hot on the pipes, but then maybe that's the new look?

I had a 2018 MT-09, flashed, and the best way I can describe is that all of its power is found within "zero-to-just-above-highway-speed-limit" range. In other words, they're super quick from 0 to about 90-ish, but then it abruptly flattens out. So you feel like king of the road in 90% of commuter situations. And on a track with lots of twists, still fast and fun. But once you hit a straightaway and you approach 80 or so mph, you can feel it starting to flatten, and 90+ is where all the real sportbikes fly past you.

I have mt09 with the GYTR quickshifter, transform this bike to more fun xD

I heard nothing but praise why wouldn't I want one?

Good video subbed and liked

Good bike, plenty of instant low revs power. Not too much mid range. Would love to have a go of a tuned one.

something about this bike looks amazing, I used to really want the ducati monster but this may be the new one (with better reliability and price)
