XSR700 or XSR900? Which would you choose 🤷♂️
900!
900, no comparison... With the modes you can keep it on B until comfortable
How does it compare to a Honda cb1000r though?
Im a new rider and bought the 900. If you can trust yourself and not be stupid from the start with no traction and A mod its a perfect bike i love it so much !
@@alexisblais1384 True, same here. Never rode before. TCS 1 Mode STD a lot of safe fun.
Even rode in a Florida storm TSC 2, Mode B, scary as shit but was so happy I have all the electonic assists keeping it up
19:48 Part of the reason I love it is because it doesnt look like a fast bike. It looks respectable, like something a responsible person would own. Cops arent going to bother you on a "standard" motorcycle when there are supersport bikes out there. But it is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Only thing I’m not 100% with is the off set tank cap and display, it’s messing with my inner ocd
@@dev1gd127 Turns out it was offset so it can be filled all the way while leaning on it's kickstand. I'm with you on the Display though
And the horn hate where the horns at!!
And now I need to buy one!
💤 😴 for sure
Bar end mirrors and a new tail delete/ taillight replacement... and I'm in love lol
Best review yet on an XSR900. Thanx.
That honor would go to fortnine or misdended fyler
Love the video and your enthousiasm above all!!! After watching it you would want to run to the store immediately. Just fabulous, thank you!! 🙏🏼😃
I'm buying this for my second bike in a couple years. This video has convinced me.
Me too :)
I went from a Suzuki gs500f to this exact bike and im in love!!!💗
Great video! I have this bike (same year too) in Bangkok where you spend most of your time lane splitting. I went to bar end mirrors in the down position to keep from whacking car mirrors.
Thanks for this man. I've been debating about the 700 or the 900, and you just sold me on the 700 ;)
Jake Dunahee glad I could help!
I have a 2016 xsr 900 it has traction control, ABS and A & B mode .
Damn bro... That bike is amazing 👌
XSR900 and MT09 = Beauty and Beast
Ethel came out the same year, the 700 was released to the rest of the world and the 900 was released in the USA. After 1 or 2 years they gave us the 700. Which gave Yamaha more time to refine it!
I've just ridden the 700 and 900 back to back and I'd completely agree with this. The 900 is a total hooligan, but in the real world, the 700 is perfect. Plus I found the riding position slightly more comfortable.
After seeing a bunch of video reviews for the 900, I see reoccurring complaints about the mirrors, warnings that it’s not a “beginner bike” and amazement at what a torque monster it is.
So, new mirrors and we’re good!
(Just a word about the beginner warning...if you’re stupid with it, you’ll die. Seen plenty of experienced riders be stupid with powerful bikes. So just be sensible while you get to know it, beginner or expert.)
Tail tidy, full system, swap out the indicators and replace the headlight and this bike is my top 3
XSR900 👍👍👍
I narrowed it down to this bike being the only bike on my radar. I’m just a month in on riding, coming from a Yamaha wr250x, but that thing was just too light and the wind was taking it everywhere I didn’t want it to go, which was scary lol.
I narrowed it down to the XSR900 being the perfect bike for me but you kind of discouraging me now lol. Sounded like the best thing about this bike is the motor. I found it to be very attractive but now you got me thinking if I should make this commitment or wait. Usually when companies go lazy on a higher end model and add more detail to a lower end model it means there’s going to be a big upgrade to the higher end model the following year.
I’m very eager to ride this season but it looks like I might have to wait it out
F that buy the XSR900 - it's a sweet bike. I think my '17 blue XSR looks better with color matched headlight and bare aluminum rear fender. When you get rid of the pumpkin blinkers, put a tail tidy on it, and get an exhaust, this bike is beautiful and a freaking BEAST. All of them look good though. The '19 has a silver tank with red stripe and is sharp too.
I got it as my second bike after riding a TW200 for a few months on the road. I didn't even have my full motorcycle endorsement yet. B mode sucks, I rode STD mode from the start, with TC2, then quickly went to TC1. I still ride mostly in TC1, Mode STD. I did the same type of research and ended up on the 900 and very glad I did. MT09 insurance is about triple that of the XSR900, that sealed the deal.
BWX thanks a lot for your comment and you just completely scratched the MT-09 off my list, no way I’ll ever pay that type of insurance for a bike. That just made my choice easier, I’ll definitely be picking up a XSR900, I’ve looked at pretty much everything, and for a single bike to do everything the XSR seems like the perfect option. 👍🏼
Marvin's Reviews ETC. I would call and get quotes from multiple companies before buying anyways but the XSR900 was a lot cheaper than the MT09 for me. In fact it was cheaper than an MT07. My TW200 is about 70/ year, XSR900 about 230/ year with Geico full coverage.. They wanted over 700/ year for MT09. That was three separate companies I called. It might be totally different for you but definitely call a lot of insurance companies. I combined my car with my bikes and got nice discounts.
Love this
Great review, thanks 👍 Deffo needs bar end mirrors !
Appreciate it bro
This may be a silly question, but do you think this would ride well as a scrambler? Trying to decide between this and the XSR 700 and can't commit to one. 700 seems more reasonable for the scrambler idea, but I would love the speed and power of this baby
I can't wait for XSR1000 to come out....would be awesome with a MT10 engine, or if they can bore this one up to 900-950cc and keep it triple and lightweight. MT10 is great bike, but feels kinda heavy. Also think Yamaha should make a Tenere 900 adventure bike and a R9 supersport with the FZ09 engine. Will be almost zero investments for them to expand their fleet with one of the most refined engines.
Dude I had no idea you live in Spokane. And watching your videos forever. I live in Airway Heights! Go take a trip with one of your subscribers!
Bowen Bottorff hit me up on FB or Instagram!
Thank you for your review. I've been thinking of trading my 2007 Kawasaki 650R Ninja for the 2018 Yamaha XSR900, but it's going to cost 8-9 grand for the new one. Is it worth it? I've thought of many different motorcycles to trade for over the years, but the 650R is so versatile in the end I don't trade. Thank you.
You can turn the traction control off just by holding the traction button down for a few sec.
Great video about your FZ09. Thats a 2018 BTW. They did not make that color in 2019.
Would be interesting to see what these bikes typically sell for. They MSRP list at $9,499, but I’ve seen 2019’s & now 2020’s sit on floors. As of November 2020, you can still find new 2019’s listing for $8,699 & lots of 2020’s @ MSRP, once the new 2021 comes out, & assuming it’s getting the new engine the MT-09 is getting, beat you can deal on this bike. Quite a lot of power & performance at that $
Thank God someone who actually winds a bike out for a change, Thankyou ! I have been trying to research the XRS900 as a replacement for my 2003 955i Daytona as I want to stick to the triple, but I have not been convinced up till now that power was comparable ? Have you rode the Triumph at all ? and what do you think please anyone ? Great vid !
the XSR is so fun for the price! I have never ridden a daytona before but I used to have a Street Triple 675 and I have ridden a 765 Street Triple as well. I will tell you that the Triumph is a lot more refined and confidence inspiring. On the other hand, the XSR or MT09 will keep you guessing and constantly put a smile on your face with insane torque.
What do you guys think would it be comfortable to do holiday trips with it? Like to drive 2 weeks and 10tkm? Does it need a lot of extra parts for keeping it nice to ride on highways etc? Or is there a better options for it.. I'd love to commute to work with this thing but also do longer trips to central europe.
Tough call. I own a XSR900 I picked up bone-stock used just because there weren't any good deals around nor any 900's available from dealers. Currently installing WC rearsets, dampener, new lights, tires and suspension to have it behave a bit more like my M1100EVO.
The MT09SP is the one with the better stock suspension if that is a factor 'out of the box'.
I haven’t ridden the SP model yet but I am curious how it feels compared to a stock first gen fz09
@@ShakeNBlake509 it doesnt change the geometry, you still ride the back wheel. I prefer the triumph triple on the track for front wheel feedback. Still love the MT09 with all its faults...
ktech rear shock helps a TON. just saying. also front fork is set quite aggressively as well. soften those two up and wheelies become more manageable and the ride comfort is far better. dynojet tune is a must. so much better with it. much smoother. love my xsr900. great performing bike.
I agree with you about the ktech rear shock.
The XSR900 has a lovely motor, I've just bought one that I've just had modified to look like the 80s RD350LC. If you think this motor is crazy the MT10 is just more crazy!.
The mt10 is a hooligan
They should make a XSR1000 don't you think?
@@bravofoxable I think that would be a great bike, love the looks of the XSR and that CP4 motor in the MT10 is stunning 👍👍👍👍
I met up with some guys with liter bikes and while we were getting ready I heard one of them whisper “ is he going to be able to keep up?” Fast forward 30 mins later and we were doing triple digits and I screamed past them. At the light the same guy said “what the fuck is that”. XSR900 baby!😆😆😆
Yeah its so funny how much of an under dog this bike is i love mine so much 😂
Alexis Blais bro did you know our bikes have a speed limiter in the ecu for 130mph? I had mines flashed and I can do 158mph. Tough on a naked but I put a windscreen on mine🤷🏾♂️
Yeah dude i saw that the other day but i feel like that 130 is enough for me 😂
Alexis Blais 😂😆😂
@@yassim0008 if you're going down hill you can get 136 🤙
That RED tank cover is a 2018 not a 2019. I have the 2018 in that color, now have a full anaversery set up and a full carbon set up. Love it 20 minutes and you have a new bike. Can't do that with a MT09 which I have also. They are 2 differant bikes even though it has same frame and engine. SXR900 is tuned different and better suspension out the box also a pinch taller. But both screams hang on.
comparing FZ09 vs XSR, which one is better in performance bro ?
Makes me miss growing up in Spokane lol
It's too wild for me. I picked Kawasaki Z900RS.
2:59 - What is this "Trash Control" feature he kept talking about?
On a more serious note, I couldn't believe there was only $1K price difference between XSR700 and XSR900! What was Yamaha thinking?
Probably because in europe u can't get 900 at 18 yo because it has too much power. Even the 700 needs to be restricted to 35kw.
Xsr 900 beautiful.
Yes, I've have the red one, lov it.
The engine and exhaust sound is unlike the xsr900 as I used to know it!!! Why!!!
would you say... it "revs your heart™?
The xsr uses the tracers suspension. Hence why it feels so much stiffer
Hah! Literally just got off my XSR900 to see this as top suggestion.
Damn RUclips spy drones!
Lucky, I want that bike.
@@gaylordbuttdick5405 indeed, first bike I looked at and the rest is history. Hope you find one
@@saadologue Found one on sale brand new in this same color for $7500. Unfortunately I just bought a bike and didn't have the money for it:(
I haven't ridden it, but about 6 months ago I was thinking hard about the new Honda cb650r, but the MT-07 is a good amount less, but I just like the Honda more... But it's too pricey, so I might as well get the MT-09, right? Except the XSR900 is prettier, so I'm just gunna go with that one. But for just a bit more, I could get the Honda cb1000r! Which is 40% more than the MT-07! I might as well just get the BMW R nine T
Lol
That motorcycle sure giggles a lot.
Are you changing gear without clutch? Does the 2019 have quickshifter
B mode doesn't cut power. The modes are drive modes that soften throttle response.
Cuts power by 10% and softens response when I asked Yamaha. B mode is great for bumpy narrow back roads.
Go ask them again. As they openly acknowledge what it is and it's in the blueprint. It alters throttle response. Straight from yamaha blurb, yanaha UK and ex head of yanaha tech Canada. 🤷♂️
@@russ02281990 I called Yamaha uk, looks like you called Yanaha, are they a Chinese knock off ? I guess their bikes are a bit different to mine. Here’s mine ‘The default STD (standard) mode is complemented by A mode, for increased throttle aggression. B-mode has reduced power and aggression, which is useful in low-traction conditions such as wet weather’ Notice the words ‘B-mode has reduced power ‘
@@douglasalexander4348 only thing you did is act like a typical troll trying to act funny by putting people down. The tuner for my mt09 was the ex head tech for yamaha canada who trained many other mechanics in the GTA so I'll stick with his knowledge. If your going to argue a point why not act like the grown man who doesn't need to put other down. Enjoy your evening. We can both agree to disagree without the nastiness from the safety of the internet.
@@russ02281990 No, I’m not a troll, I simply took the quote from Yamaha’s description, I just presumed they would be correct ? Guess Yamaha are in the wrong. Taking the p out of your bad spelling was a bit of fun, get of your high horse and get a sense of humour.
I want the Abarth version O_O
They should have a gyro that cuts enough fuel to keep the front down...
This is just the better version of the MT09….. it’s has a few extras and looks way more 21 and older. I’ve outgrown my mt09 and want to trade it in for one of these bad. I’m just waiting till riding season is over to get the best deal.
Defo the 900, no point in the 7 right?
only if you like the cafe look
if not just get the MT
"OH YEAH"
I have this exact bike and color. Why am I watching this? 😎
whats the difference between 2018 and 2019? im thinking about buying a brand new 2018 because of the price..
sunger bob I don’t think there’s any difference besides paint schemes
Ok ok i see you
F.y.i. Just pull the abs fuse if you want to disable it.
isn't this the 2018? I have a 2018 and it's this color. I didnt think this was a 2019 color option.
Yes the 2019 color is Aluminium with red labeling.
2014 the suspension was shocking. Compare the new MT 09 with new XSR.
mt09 or xsr 900? :)
Awesome video bro! Looking at getting one but they are super rare to find here
Would I be able to flat foot this bike? I’m 5 ft 8/9
I have a 2016 XSR900 and I’m 6ft tall. I can barely flat foot the thing with a 32” inseam. Hope this helps!
I’m about 5”9 5”10 just bought this bike. Tip toes/ middle of feet
The asymmetry of the fuel cap and display is really annoying. I've been waiting for a good year for the XSR, but yamaha is just not bringing it. CB1000R is the nicer bike
friends don't let friends ride Honda's
The 900 is way more powerful than the 700? No kidding!
45HP difference.
ZXman 45 more hp, 14 more torque, and one is a twin while the other is a triple. That’s a very big difference that just 45 hp different.
@@WoodyRides Yeah, you should watch this guy's video where he talks about why he thinks to trade his FZ09 on an FZ07 was an upgrade lol, I was like is he stupid? I went from cbr600rr to zx10r and now mt09 and yes its a downgrade, zx10 was 200hp but I had to sell her cause I was broke. I don't need all the power 99% of the time but I want to have a powerful bike every time I ride cause It's a thrill.
Needs more color. Red fenders.
Yamaha MT 10
Yes, XSR 1000 with the MT-10 engine. That would be interesting!
B mode doesn't cut the power at all, it just softens the throttle response. Where have you red this? There is for sure no reference in the manual.
The Stonegate Roadrunner I’ve ridden these bikes enough to know. In the low rpm range it cuts power/throttle response and gives it all around 8k rpm
It knocks the hp down and softens initial throttle response. Shake n vac is right
@@douglasalexander4348 Not true. The power and rpms in certain gears are cut in all modes.
All it does is to soften the throttle response.
The Stonegate Roadrunner Here you go. Remember the manual is for general info not detailed. Quote from ultimatebike revue.....The MT-09 has three riding modes. The default STD (standard) mode is complemented by A mode, for increased throttle aggression. B-mode has reduced power and aggression, which is useful in low-traction conditions such as wet weather. Bennett’s ..Of Yamaha’s D-modes (or rider modes), ‘B’ cuts power by 4bhp and softens the throttle action. For what it’s worth, I use b mode on narrow bumpy back roads for a bit more control.
MT 10 for crazy power
why does Yamaha have two 900 naked bikes. the x s r and mto9 ? what is the difference ?
photographerjonathan no differences besides the aesthetics.
MT-09 Laddish hooligan. Park outside the chippy. XSR more mature refined hooligan. Park outside the Coffee shop. Yamaha cleverly covered a lot of bases with same engine/ chassis.
i dont know how to ride a bike but i know for a fact this is going to be my first bike
No get an mt 09 it’s better
No way, I would get this 900 all the way. I would get something even more powerful than that like the R1.
This is quicker off the lights and better for filtering and city riding but if you want a track weapon, take a look at the MT10..
Neo retro ? , R.I.P. dictionary
Its over for people like us, dude.
Contradictory. Lol.
I can get either this or MT-09? What is main difference? Which would you buy with your own money? Main question is the on off throttle any less jerky than MT-09?
exactly the same. comes down to which looks do you prefer.
Ok
Ideal for big and tall riders?
Jeffrey A Yeah I think it would be a good fit for you!
ShakeNBlake awesome thanks
Which one has the best wind protection ?
For a Mad Max, urban guerilla, all conditions from stop and go commuting hell to high speeds racing home when conditions permit.....hot, cold, wind and rain...Could anyone please recommend the best Yamaha platform - whether MT 09 or XSR 900 - if my other bike and good weather weekend favorite is a cross-plane R1? After years of Triumphs, Ducatis and BMW S1000RRs, I LOVE the cross plane R1. I'm wondering if two bikes from the same family tree might further improve my skills and/or be more intuitive when switching between bikes?
Not really sure what you're asking but I have a '17 FZ-09 and I commute 50 miles daily on it to work and school in crappy south florida traffic and it does it perfectly.
But is it fast and powerful...a "rocket ship"?? believe you failed to mention that 15 000x's lol
God I want one so bad!
Is this any more comfortable than the FZ09?
You have bit more leg room as the seat is higher, and the stock seat is little bit more comfy than that of the FZ ihmo, though a lot of people have their seat reworked or replaced because it can still be a pita. The riding position itself is comfortable enough for longer rides, but the budget suspension doesn't cope too well with bad road surfaces.
CapZ Thank you. To bad about the suspension. Which bike does have a good suspension for bad roads?
@@dry509 Higher spec suspension, like Showa or Oehlins usually manages to be sporty while retaining enough comfort, like on the FZ09 SP or Triumph's Street Triples. However, swapping the rear shock (Wilbers for example) and the fork springs makes for a better ride and doesn't cost that much. It's something I intend to do to my XSR as well.
how do you feel about the vibration on handle bar and foot pegs?
NY it’s not bad at all
beast of a motor + short wheelbase = bike that's hard to behave on.
I find it hard to behave on my FZ-07. This is the next bike I want to get and I cant even imagine what the difference is gonna be.
My-09 look more sporty and aggressive
The "racing red" bike you're riding is a 2018. I have the same bike. The 2019 is silver. You need to change the title of your video. Just sayin'
I was looking to see if anyone else noticed this. Red is definitely 2018.
I have the same bike 2018.... beast!!!
is there any upgrade on 2019 model? im thinking of buying 2018 model. you know its cheaper..
It's the exact same bike. The only difference is the color. I bought a leftover new 2018 because I wanted the racing red. Got a better deal also. It's the way to go!
Agree, he also says “2019” during the intro
What do you mean a bike for a big gêner in America don’t you start with A1 125cc license first or you can jump to 900cc right away ?
You can ride whatever you want from the beginning in America
@@ShakeNBlake509 That's hilarious! I just bought a 3,000 mile like brand new condition 2020 XSR900 in the retro 60's Yamaha race white and red colours with gold rims and I LOVE it! So much sweeter than my R1. This has got me off litre sportbikes for road use. The low end torque is immense and build quality is pure 100% Made in Japan by Yamaha!
This is mine
What would you get after your FZ09?
I kinda wanna get a cbr 1000rr after my mt09
What's the top speed of XSR 900 on stock?
Stinky Llama 130, limited by the ecu.
A mode with TC off is like MT09 B mode for acceleration
kmph? or mph?
this is in mph.
Siver tank with red stripe looks better, so I bought one. He,he!!
You can turn off the the abs
Go ride a ktm rc8..
When you put hundreds of thousands of miles on bikes then you can criticize
I don't think I like it
Will a Bobo Rider
First!!!!
omg. cheap AF. in Denmark i have to pay 18,000 dollers for this bike. and same for a new 2019 MT09.
Seriously? i could get a cb1000r for 18k lol.
@@buggyman286 yea :D and i can buy a new 2019 cb1000r for 31,000 dollers :D hahah
@@schottdk that sucks bro. Got my xsr for $11k
Taxes
dude theres something called throttle control alot of guys can ride this thing .yep u can ride this after a 250 if u know how to respect the throttle .
remus stealth I understand that, but someone who is fresh to riding might not be that easy.
@@ShakeNBlake509 my first ever bike was the mt09. Everything pretty much aftermarket now from clip ons to exhaust to tune much more. I should have gotten a cbr1000.
😂 yeah blame the bike for you wanting to twist the throttle.
The gas cap is off centered. 🤯🤯🤯 not for me
You can put more fuel in the tank with the kickstand
F ZEE 09! Lol!
