  • With Yamaha announcing the new R9 coming next year I thought a track test of the XSR 900 GP was in order.. As the XSR shares the same engine, swinging arm, suspension it will give a good indication of what the new R9 could be like on circuit...

    Nice vid Chops. The XSR900GP is a stunning looking bike & is a decent enough track tool as well supposedly. Although, wouldn't know myself but regardless, it's too nice to potentially bin on a track day imo. However, either way, I think the R9 will be quite a bit sharper, as it should be. Very much looking forward to your review of it as well.

    Almost an R9?
    1) Different brakes
    2) Different suspension
    3) Different Frame
    4) Different swingarm
    5) Different Sub-frame
    6) Different controls
    In fact, the only thing the same is probably the engine. It isn't even close to an R9
