tony Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 I couldn't test ride XSR, but was able to get a demo ride on the FZ09. What a sweet bike! Smooth, powerful, easygoing. A lot of fun to ride. But the power comes too easy, you don't have to work for it at all! Just as Sean said in his review, you just have to meter the throttle, and be careful not to overdo the freely flowing gobs of power, contrary to flogging the 07. So it was not that enoyable, in a sense of having to ride a fast bike slow. It is an exciting bike and can make one a better rider, but with real life street speeds well short of triple digits, you would use just a fraction of bike's potential except for occasional bursts of fun here and there. I loved the 09's smoothness, but enjoyed flogging my trusty, vibey 07 much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member biggaudi Posted July 9, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted July 9, 2016 The true problem with the XSR900 is that it isn't in my garage. This is so true. I wonder though how much trouble you could get in with that bike though. Already I go 20mph over the limit with ease and not realize it. XSR900 Could be a recipe for getting police attention...
