raceblue Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I agree http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/wp-content/gallery/2016-yamaha-xsr900/2016-Yamaha-XSR900-studio-09.jpg is a great looking bike. I would consider it if I didn't love my FZ-07 so much. At least I know that there's something else out there waiting for me if I ever outgrow my bike. http://caferacerNYC.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkH Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I'm a little bummed that it is heavier than the FZ09 by roughly 16lbs. I visit here at least once a week. Got any questions, ask and I will answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scordiaboy515 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 I'm a little bummed that it is heavier than the FZ09 by roughly 16lbs. Yeah, prolly coz the ABS and traction control, which I have no use for either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattonme Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 nobody is going to notice the extra 16lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 If you mimicked some of the riders in Florida you could lose the helmet and ride with sandals instead of boots and maybe lose 16 lbs. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamahaha Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I saw the yellow xsr900 today. They look a lot better up close and personal than they do in photos. Not as pretty as the 07 but the look could grow on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigity Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Not smart enough to multi quote so: @pattonme , I'd definitely notice. When I fill up my fuel tank my FZ is noticeably slower on acceleration. Although, the power/weight ratio on the 9 is much better, soooo..... @scordiaboy515 I thought the same thing, til my last bike, which had front and rear ABS. Wow, that was an amazing feature! No need for it on the front, but with it on the rear, it opens up so much more braking opportunities in corners and hard breaking to a stop. I was activating my rear ABS all the time on my SV. It was great! I was sad that we didn't get the option on the American version. Also, I'm diggin it too. With a nice set of clip ons, it's probs in my top 5 bikes I want. @forcefed86 Yes? Oh, wait, you weren't calling me by name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angus Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I sat on an XSR yesterday and I liked it better than the FZ-09. The Yamaha factory demo tour arrives at the dealership this weekend and I will likely test ride a 900 for fun. I don't think my 700 has anything to fear about being replaced. I've already tested it against the FZ-09 and the FZ-1 and it won my affection easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member yamahappy74 Posted April 19, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted April 19, 2016 What the hell is going on with that tail? Does Yamaha not like a good looking tail on the 9? It's ugly on the FZ-09 and now it's ugly on this. Given how good the FZ-07 looks, I don't understand the logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
