2024 XSR 900 GP

[big fella]

Aye.

This is interesting

And are you 6'2" ?

 

[EVskiy]

6’ 6 ⅞” a feck off giant!

 

[Arsey]

And are you 6'2" ?

6 ‘1

 

[Arsey]

11 bhp less that my MT-09 makes at the rear wheel...

Eh ?

 

[Schtum]

Eh ?

The MCN page you posted says it makes 106 hp. I take it they mean at the rear wheel as Yamaha seem to claim 119 bhp.
My 2106 MT-09 now makes 117 hp at the rear wheel following a remap.
Also, if the new one is anything like mine, it'll have its top speed restricted. They do that by progressively closing the throttle butterflies as you go faster.
Mine was limited to 125 mph on the dyno before it was mapped.

Does it hover or sumfink? Tell us more.

Well spotted. It's hard to tell that it utilises ground effect and is only a couple of mm off the road....

Oh god. If it’s limited to 125 mph I’m going to cancel the order . I need to do 130 mph everywhere

Are you related to Boxerlust...?

No but I thought you might be

Is you a Boxerlust?!

 

[OnHellas]

If they are, remind me where the ignore button is please.

 

[Schtum]

No but I thought you might be

Nope. As much as I love riding in California, I've not done it for far too many years. Only ever been to the border at Tijuana as well. So no 130 mph blasting around Mexico.

I've asked him on a few occasions where he rides in NorCal but he's never come up with an answer.

Red and white, or black and grey....

HAS to be the red and white, no? Isn't that the whole point of the bike, the retro look?

I'd love one, BTW, in a world of largely uninteresting new bikes, I think Yamaha have smashed it.

I’d imagine they’ll sell ten times as many red and white as the grey !!

Si Hargreaves raving about it on Bike Social on Facebook .

The grey/black looks really nice, but you'd need to be a fucking deviant to choose it over the red/white.
