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.

Re: New XSR900
I don't mind the seat so much, but that exhaust really is an ugly metal blob.

Re: New XSR900
Whatever happened to proper exhaust pipes?

Re: New XSR900
Bin the seat in favour of something more Ducati 748ish, and lose that silly number plate and imo...it's almost there.

Re: New XSR900
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. |
