New XSR900
 
I can't stop looking at the seat. It looks like the bike has accelerated that hard that all the foam has been pushed to the back.

The exhaust isn't the prettiest I've seen either.

I don't mind the seat so much, but that exhaust really is an ugly metal blob.

Whatever happened to proper exhaust pipes?

Bin the seat in favour of something more Ducati 748ish, and lose that silly number plate and imo...it's almost there.

No chance of a centre stand with that exhaust box ! That seat will literally be a pain in the ar*e. Apart from the strange exhaust and usual lack of decent mudguards , it looks quite good.

i like it including the zort, only gripe is the stupid drilled headlight brackets.

looks better finished that the striped MT-09 elder brother.

As a current XSR owner, I quite like it - except for the exhaust but the one on mine ain't exactly svelte. Most modern bikes seem to come with big ugly pipes these days, probably to be Euro 5 compliant.
Back to the XSR, colour scheme is nice; some mudguards would be useful, the radiator is in for a hard time with that front one.

I think so

exactly, why do they do it, bound to need a fender extender to be practical ?!
