Yammie: "I don't wanna be a Yamaha simp." Also Yammie: Literaly named himself after Yamaha.
No he didnt....he named himself after the yams he loves to eat lol
Do they pay in cash or by check😜
Yet modest enough to realize he was a beginner.
🤣🤣
@@josh_ari The content here is simp-ly nubilicious.
I knew this bike was going to be something special. That's why I preordered one the day Yamaha announced it through my local dealer. I got mine about 5 months ago.
A year in, what do you think about it?
I don't care what people around me think. I'm going to ride my bike from the 80's to learn on for 6 months then I'm getting this. Saw one today and it was love at first sight.
Here because before I pull the trigger, I have to watch every video on the internet about this awesome bike.
I did that and now I have one! Just do it man the value is outrageous! I love my commute time now, just sayin’ it’s a quality of life enhancer.
Just got mine a little less than 2 weeks ago. Just walked in the showroom and it was sitting there. Bought it on the spot. LOVE this bike.
what do you think of it i got a 21 mt09sp and its by far the best bike ive ever ridden
@gavin3810 I love it. It just fits me perfectly. I rode nothing but monsters for about 12 years and it reminds me of those ergos. I had a Brutale Dragster RR last year, and it performs like a more civilized version of that. The first ride on it I felt faster than on my Hypermotard Sp (which is now for sale, lol). I know looks are subjective but I love it. I don't think I will sell this one for a long time if ever.
@@TheDfelan if you're looking for alot of sound I got the dominator gp3 for 500 bucks and it's insane how that thing actually sounds after losing that 16lbs pipe
@gavin3810 I'll take a look at it, thanks man!
What colorway did you get? I really like the heritage blue they have with the gold wheels. Hard to tell what all the local shops have near me. They all use that stock image of the blue one 😮💨
Man the all black version looks sick 👍👌
Thanks for the REVEALING video. You have shown that this new xsr 900 is not the runaway wheelie monster I feared.
This is my dream bike. Currently learning on a little Honda CB300R, for my first year.
Hoping this thing is still made new in 2025!
Just rented one of these and thought I was crazy for how impressed I was. Thanks for the confirmation. Def buying one.
Loved your enthusiasm here. I really have to buy either the MT-09 or XSR900 for my next season. Drove the SP couple of times, crazy how it makes a stupid amount of fun on every throttle imput.
Yes! This xsr900 bike has growth for a beginner rider!
I’m just over 200 miles on mine and loving it! Still in break in stage, but even tooling around town is fun on this thing. And definitely makes you turn around and look as you’re walking away.
I got my 2022 xsr900 in June and was literally the only one in Ohio at the time. Glad to see the community growing as this is a great motorcycle. Looking forward to some upgrades and new seat from Kelpi, but no worries. Believe it or not I have yet to use the quick shifter and heated grips, so i've still got a lot of honeymooning left to do. Only at 1,000 miles so need to take it in for service. Suspension was a bit stiff out of the gate but seems to be settling in nicely. Fast bike and 3rd gear is a beast.
Well it’s settled. 2023 ordered. Let’s gooooo !!!!!
That dude has a reckoning coming if he thinks cars are like bikes...especially if its his first bike
Man, Yammie can RIDE!! What a guy, you're putting the rest of us to shame riding that hard on the street. Legend.
I got mine this April (a blue one), and plan to keep it until I am too old and need something more sedate. It's good fun around the country lanes around my home town, and works for inter-city Autobahn tours as well. I am waiting for the aftermarket to pick up, so I can get a pillion cover and larger saddlebags, but apart from that, this will be my bike-before-last.
Sounds like you're already too old if you think an mt09 isn't a sedate bike.
Hearing the smile in your voice the whole time you were riding... gave me a big smile the whole time while watching.
I'm eagerly awaiting my MT-09SP to arrive. This XSR nearly tempted me to the neo-retro team. I can't wait to take it out and get to know it when it finally arrives.
Join the neo retro family! I know you wanna!!
Hope you got it by now! I got my 09SP at Christmas time and love it. I am 50 and just got back onto a bike. It is happy in town or cruising and loves a spirited ride. Great ergos and love the torque. Ran in with a spirited Mode 3 now use mode 2. All aids on full in Manual mode......grandma mode i know but gives you a nice smooth wheelie if you decide the time is right. Taking my time to get to know and respect the bike, and try and keep my licence. In Oz and the po po are pretty hot. Good luck and ride safe.
We have been telling you the new MT09 was a real good bike but you wouldn't hear it...
2 years before you finally try it in XSR flavour. Better late than never I guess. Glad you like it.
Yeah this is definetly what I want as a second bike. This thing is wonderful😩
I was on the fence about a couple of bikes, however this video sold me on the XSR….. I’m going to pick mine up on Saturday
I'm excited for the GP version they are teasing. Absolutely beautiful!
A GP version...what's that bro?
@@mongosaqqara its a rumored faired version of this bike.
@@milodebruin4821 Interesting....Thanks
Think it might have been just an aftermarket kit.
As of May 2024 the GP is Europe only.
This video gave me a renewed interest in Yamaha. Thank you!
Same here. I just bought a brand new 22 xsr900 in October and it is also my first bike. I absolutely love it. Already put 1800 miles on it. This thing is a torque machine. I have to be careful not to power wheelie in 1st gear. I’ve even got the tire up in 2nd with precise throttle control. So far I’ve put frame sliders, rear fender eliminator with new signals, and some reflective tape that matches the blue model on the rims. I still want to put an aftermarket exhaust, some engine guards and shorter adjustable levers but it’s still hard finding parts for this because it’s so new and apparently they’re still hard to find. I think I got lucky. I called a dealer and they just happened to get one in the day before that was still in the shipping crate so I put a $500 deposit down and picked it up the next day. If anyone knows a good place to get aftermarket accessories I would appreciate the tip. Overall I’m very satisfied with it. I really don’t have any complaints.
how is it as a first bike? do the modes and traction assist make it comfortable enough to not have to worry about its power?
I really like this bike. The styling just reminds me of the 80's FZ750 and I love the sound of that triple
Omg I've been waiting for you to do a review of this!! I already put my money down on this thing months ago and I'm excited to get my hands on this.
My little brother just bought one yesterday. He’s been looking for a while. A dealer had one arrive that had been for a guy that had ordered it and he ended up backing out so my brother got it. I can’t wait to ride the thing.
To cancel cruise control you can also roll the throttle forward for a smooth cancel. Ride a new mt09sp, its so nice. Put 10K on in 10 months of ownership.
Kinda funny I suggested this bike to Yammie a couple months ago and he commented saying he's trying to find one, awesome.
9.25 I think its a solid 9.6 when you factor in the cost of the bike. I still have a 2020 that I absolutely adore as a daily driver and am shocked to see a company like Yamaha take ALLL of the content creator/ user input and make the 2021-23 bikes with this much quality. At first the XSR/ BOLT Heritage project seemed like a side gig for yamoto but now they're perfecting the bikes and putting them in a class of there own. NOW THEY NEED TO MAKE A XSR 1000 (Yamaha please read)
It’s good although I think I prefer the gsx-s 750 because of the price.
Great video, lots of enjoyment in his voice on this review.
This is going to be my first bike. Im sold. Love everything about it and I know I won’t get bored with it after a year or so. Great video and thank you for convincing me even more to get one.
I made a testride on this bike and on the street triple 765R. The Triumph felt way more distinguished and looks a lot better crafted too. I might be getting old.
Yamaha needs to make a XRS322 to compete with the budget and new rider market and have a price of about 5k.
I get a lot of compliments on my 60th Anniversary XSR900.
Now I really want an r9
I bought mine as my first bike too, such and awesome and fun bike
The earlier XSRs use throttle by wire as well, and you have to do a hell of a lot of tweaking (or in my case leaving it with a mechanic forever to get tuned correctly) to get it to work well-enough.
There is a small part of me that wishes I had waited for a minute and picked up the new XSR, but I do love my spunky old one to death. Glad to hear that the base model is just a fun ride, it took forever to get mine right, and it took a lot of time and cash.
Or get a flash from vcyclenut…
@@CarbonR6 depending on what you put on for your exhaust, a flash isn't always the best idea. It'll definitely add some additional RPMs and improves stock, but the maps for aftermarket exhausts vary and the tuning can be all over the place.
@@That1J1 lots of places customize it to what intake/exhaust mods you have. Can't speak for this one in particular tho.
@JgFath just note them your aftermarket exhaust they tune it accordingly
Picking mine up tomorrow!!😁
Now that is a really nice looking motorcycle. 👍👍👍
Have a first gen FZ09 (2016 in black) and I keep look at these new XSRs. That black model is so stunning
I have the 2015 in yellow....and it's more than enough bike for me.
I said it in one of the previous videos and I'm happy you agree, the XSR 900 is the perfect street bike. Not really a reason for the MT-09 anymore IMO.
I would never buy one with this seat. MT09 looks so much better imo.
MT has shorter wheelbase, taller bars. It's meant to handle a bit more playfully at the expense of the more series high speed stability you get from a bit more forward, low stance.
This is my dream bike, I'm planning to upgrade to this exact colour from my first bike, MT-07 2022 Pure, also in black. MT-07 is prepaired for next season, winterized for now. The season after the next season, hopefully I will be riding on black XSR 900.
❤ really appreciate and like it...Beaty Moto and great review
I drool over this bike
Yammie Noob a Yamaha simp? No way!🤣🤣🤣 In black it reminds me of Vader. It's a great bike
i will be buying 1 thankyou sir
Nice video, we can feel your pleasure when you ride it !
For someone that likes to save on gas mileage as well, the XSR 700 is a great fit with enough juice for all your needs, cause let's face it, most of us are bebopping around town and not on a drag strip.
I mean yes, but if your going for miles I’d go with a cb500f. 70mpg and a near 5 gallon tank. I think that the 689 parallel twin needs an update myself.
@@county_bear9509 Obviously, I'm speaking within the bounds of the model and brand in the video. If I was just talking about gas mileage, then there are a multitude of better choices out there, including above and beyond the Honda you listed. 🤷♂
@@ErelasInglor yes
The xsr900 is more fun though
Hate the shit out of street bikes with twins though. Just sounds wrong. Triples/fours or bust for a street bike imho
With that Tom Cruise enthusiasm I guess I need to buy one!
ty mate great review. would love to hear from Jacob about the wee mods he's put on that one, looks great
I've had the XSR900 since it first came out - absolutely no issues with accelerator. No twitching. Super predictable to control on highest reactivity level. I find the low reactivity level annoying as it's delayed on power per throttle twist. - good in the rain but that's it
The XSR is like if an 80s motorcycle designer made a futuristic bike.
No wonder I like it! The only thing I miss on the styling is the round digital gauge like prior years had.
Just an all around fun bike. Will go down as one of the greats. Have my own 22 Mt09
Great review. Echo many of the comments.
But! Why are all the YT reviewers trumpeting the great price... under $10k.
These are so hard to find that dealers are marking way up.
Love my XSR900. Got an exhaust and DNA airfilter and it sounds fantastic
The xsr900 is so sweet, im psyked for the R9. Hopefully the waits worth it.
Damn looks like yamaha's going all out with the R9 development.
It doesn't look as good as the previous model but with a windscreen And another seat it could look really good!
Nah that cafe racer headlight fairing is kickass. Naked bikes don't need windscreens.
The 2021 model had a much better looking tail section.
I have 2015fz09. They all need the fairing. Boy yes you are upright into the wind zone. The slightly higher "touring" style screen is better to try to get the wind going above the helmet.
Good luck. Super motorcycle even though mine is the 2nd year model with no creature features. Throttle - clutch - break. Triple 900
Blue & gold is the way to go
Great.... now i want a xsr900....
All I want is a fully faired version of this bike
I think there’s been talk of a r9 which would be super cool
Yam, can you do a comparison video of KTM Duke 890 and the XSR900? Considering both but leaning towards a new XSR with blue paint and gold rims.
Just tried the duke 890 yesterday. Amazing bike, super flickable, handles great and the engine is super smooth and powerful. But I think I'll get the XSR, I think it looks better and you get the Yamaha reliability.
Sold my RS 660 and bought this new XSR 900 (blue color) for the 2023 season 😊. I hope that I'll have a lot of fun on this one ✌🏻 I found the seat not that bad and hard, when I checked it in the store and it looks just cool 😍😉
I've had mine (identical yours) for 2 months now and, honestly, after only a few rides, the seat softens up nicely and is perfectly rideable all day, IMO.
Most every stock seat on most every Japanese sporty bike is total crap. But that's the price we pay for the Japanese quality and reliability. I'd find an aftermarket upholsterer service and add 1-2" of foam to that bottom and shape the butt pan with a bit of concavity.
may I ask why you sold the rs 660 for the xsr 900? funny, I am actually looking at both bikes and trying to decide which one I like. would like to hear from other people.
For one thing, the power between the two is very different, the Yamaha is near 120 hp with near 70 ft-lb torque.
Almost a perfect bike… I just wish it looked as good as the Honda CB 1000R…. I love everything about that bike which is some thing about the styling I cannot put my finger on it just puts me off. that being said I would happily on that bike because it’s just so good that I could learn to let the looks grow on me lol. i’m sure it looks beautiful from the cockpit lol which is rly all that matters is how it rides. Function before form.
I love my 2019...throttle is fine once you get the feel...but this electronic throttle is very tempting...I wish they had an SP version...Needed a pipe and tune...braded lines and pads upgrade make this bike the best handling and style for me.
I will be getting one. I put a deposit down a couple days ago. Have to close on my house first in order to finance 😰. Still, very excited.
Perfect beginner bike, quick shifter up and down, great styling, great handling along with a slightly longer wheelbase for stability, and just an aggressive enough seating position to be willing to conquer a highway . . . just make sure to keep the bike in mode four.
Nooooo.
yeah no.
Beginner bike? Are you sure?
"I don't wanna be a Yamaha simp!"
Says a guy who's name is Yammie Noob!!!
I have an xsr myself it is indeed a hard saddle, that's why I had it adjusted, more padding in it and a new cover right away, I'm so happy with this motorcycle. thanks for the review yammie it's nice greetings from the Netherlands
I have a black one I’m picking up next month at the dealer, Michigan winter though so it will be a bit before I ride it. Still very excited
What a gorgeous beast!
Waiting for my XSR900GP road test end of this month 👊
How was your road test?
Great bike with one major flaw. The seat. Its enough that I sold mine after a month.
I was so tempted to pull the trigger on one that I saw but I tried to not to make an impulsive decision. Definitely want one in the future.
Same, but the dealer that has one near me has absurd dealer fees and offered me next to nothing in trade for my current bike.
You only live once, go for it
And the trees raised in the forks! Which helps the 2nd gen MT09 greatly! - That and the Corso Rosa rubber - nice choice for the rear that got it's matching front 3 days after it arrived - lol
Needa get my beginner bike then I’m on my way to XSR😮💨😮💨😮💨
The tracer 9 is also much improved over the old one and is just as fun as the Mt and xsr just a bit heavier
And heavier and slower, ✊
I would finance one of these just for the sound alone
Lol this is my first bike😂 i enjoy it so much and im in ride mode 1 pretty much the whole time
Depends on the Yamm and Fan. I'm from the Black Country in 🇬🇧 so that makes me a Yam Yam too.
I got a Genesis87 1000.
That a proper man's toad racer.
If you can handle that, then any bike is a pissoPiss.
Bike sounds Awesome!👌
I'm a few years coming off selling my 2007 SV650 that I adored. I've been looking for something new, but wanted it to be special and I think you might have just sold me on one of these.
Looks phenomenal imo, sounds great how it's presented here, affordable, etc.
You won't go for inline 4?
@@ixion_cyb Haven't ruled it out. Just haven't been feeling any of the non-sportbike. No reason for me to get a liter either, unless it's usable around town.
You can cancel cruise control also by rolling forward on the throttle all the way.
I wish this bike had the cross plane crank, that R1 sound is insane.
It does
It's a CP3, bro..
Thanks for the video Love these yamaha bike's I went to buy a new bike and ended up with a mt-09 and Love it saved around 6k also
My dream bike
It’s 2.5 longer, so it doesn’t want to wheelie as easy.
Plus the geometry of the swing arm is different.
What a fun bike! Must be good for wheelies!
I have a 2017 xsr900, I adore it but it isn’t without it faults, I’m sticking a Nitron rear shock on it soon and getting it on the dyno for a proper tune, possibly fork internals aswell. I really didn’t like the look of the new XSR initially but it really is growing on me. I’d have to get a seat made for it as the standard one is real ugly imo. I reckon I’ll trade mine in for the new model in a couple yrs.
Wow that my dream bike 🥺😍🤤 that's amazing always ride safe sir and GODBless 🙏😇
Why did RUclips auto play this channel? Back to Spite's corner.
The blue version is clearly the one to get
this is my dream bike
Wait for the xsr900 with cowling and clip ons. I think they're making a sports version of this.
Great new rider bike
I really hope they do a XSR1000
I have noticed in your videos the cover for the brake reservoir, those actually seem pretty functional.
