Seriously, plus it's just kind of sticking out. Tuck it down a tad, or come up with some sort of simple protection for it that still looks good with the bike.
I own a 2021 XSR and one of the first things I did was buy a aftermarket bracket to move the speed display over and up to the side. It came with it in the middle and was impossible to see while driving. Yamaha listened to the costumer and moved it in 2022 or 2023. It's alot better.
Got the 2022 version in black and gold. Upgraded the exhaust to Akrapovic, bar end mirrors added, tail tidy changed and a few other bits. My 1st big bike and I love it. Gives me everything I need exactly when I need it. The dash is perfect don’t need any more. Helps me learn to ride the bike as it should be ridden.
Sometimes I miss my XSR700. Why do you need a full colour TFT? For watching movies? When you're on a bike, your eyes should be on the road and only glance at the display for quick info. I don't care for all the tech and rider modes etc. I'm happy with a basic reliable bike with a nice engine note any day.
I wish we where given the choice of either all the electric extras or for me just abs , never ever used cruise control, rain mode , sports mode etc . What’s wrong with good throttle and clutch control.😊😊👍👍
When it comes to Yamaha their bike will lack of features, mid performance, and expensive but their bikes design are topnotch I think they are my top 1 producing best looking bikes in the market. When it comes to reliability probably it will outlast any European brands and they are cheaper to maintain due to many OEM parts in the market.
You’ve never ever ridden an MT/xsr 9 have you ? That has ripping performance, all the features you need. Why do you need rider modes on a 700 ? Learn to ride. The 700 is a great value bike, not expensive and has more power than the competitors.
I have the 2020 XSR700 X-tribute so essentially the earlier version of this. Ultimately, it's just a really fun, versatile bike that looks decent. I've commuted on it, done a few easy green lanes, took a trip to the Picos and Pyrenees on it, and countless b roads. As with the MT07, the fit and finish of some of the components, especially the swingarm and coolant pipes leaves a lot to be desired, but other than that I don't have many complaints. I bought a used high mount Akrapovic for £600, which looks and sounds great.
High pipe? rubber insert spiked pegs? Basic drivetrain? “Knobby” tires? It feels like they intended to make a scrambler but changed their mind halfway. Throw some spoked wheels on it and you’re done
Dear MotoBob Nice review.Yamaha XSR700 twin engine is an advantage in 700 cc category over the other motorcycles.Yamaha done a good work with Twin engine😊
Got one of these last year, great fun to ride. Easy to flip about, nice bit of grunt when you push it. Like the simplistic build and makes you ride it properly. Only complaint is the seat, really uncomfortable after an hour. Standard exhaust looks ok, but is quiet. Fancy the replacement one, but £1800 is a lot. Good bike and good review Bob 👍
Media connectivity on a motorcyle? What for, so you can update your facebook profile while in the fast lane of the M1? I feel old. People used to ride bikes for the experience, seems younger people need to be doing something with their thumbs at all times . Be nice if it had tubeless spoked wheels.
I own the Yamaha XSR 900 newly bought in 2021 with aftermarket high Akrapovic exhaust. Amazing bike and yes, I like its little brother, the XSR 700 also a lot. Thanks for the video.
I have a 1976 XS650 and I think this basic XSR700 is just what we need these days, its a real hark back to the bike its commemorating. I'm certainly leaning towards getting one of these. I love the knobbly tires too, I would defiantly be taking mine to race at the malle mile.
I love my 2023 xsr700, been on my learners permit on this bike and its been fantastic, i feel like it lets me learn more than if i was on a cruiser or race bike. its probably slightly small for me but the power is perfect to haul my fat arse around. i can get up to 140km/h
Maybe I'm weird, but when I'm riding my XSR 700 I really don't feel like more power or tech would add to the experience in any way. The power hits that sweet spot where there's plenty to go around for all situations and it's fun to open up fully, without being excessive to the point where you hardly ever give it full throttle. And the dash great! Not as great as the twin clocks of a Z650RS, but I definitely prefer it over a TFT, especially the ones that Yamaha offers. You really hit the nail on the head with the simplicity being a selling point. Tech wise it's on the same level as a Royal Enfield 650, even the 900cc Triumph retros have more features, which arguably detract from a retro bike that's supposed to be motorcycling at it's purest.
I believe every single company should make a motorcycle trim without all of the tech. I have a 2013 CB600F Hornet and never have I felt, damn I wish I had traction control or damn I wish I had wheelie control. It's a 100+ hp bike I know and I do have ABS but I'm not that good of a rider to need it disabled but I'm also not enough of a crazy rider to need all of those aids. My next bike is hopefully a brand new R1 but I wish it didn't have power delivery modes, traction control, slide control, lift control and launch control. Just give me a quickshifter, abs and that's it. They could do an R1 Legacy and just remove what I mentioned and put as an optional tech package. No slipper clutch is stupid though
I had a "85 Nighthawk 700S and my buddy a "86 Radion 600. Man we rode the shit out of those bikes. If it didnt fit in our pockets it didnt come with. Both were absolutly perfect.
I have a T7 WR 2022, XSR 900 custom 2022, xt600 2000 offroad prepared and a 2023 AT AS DCT........I am overthinking for selling the AT and buy the XSR 700 Legacy because there is too much tech on the AT and it is just too heavy. The electronics often irritate me....The AT is a very good long distance and highway bike, but i still prefer the T7. That CP2 with some changes is a very lovely engine. Pure motor cycling!!!
Manufactureres should take note to have at least a couple of bikes from their lineups which are limited in their tech & features. There are some of us who still look for simplicity on the top of their list of considerations - which is why I went for a T7 when looking for an all-round ADV.
There is no question the CP2 is a great engine, but the competition has finally caught up and surpassed it. For an out and out fun bike with the basic tech I would argue it's the generations sv650. But for similar money there is now alot more choice. I think it's difficult to find a "bad/rubbish" bike and it's all down to how it makes you feel as an individual and how much you can afford.
Love my XSR700 XTribute for the fact it is old school riding, and light, basically same bike as Legacy but cost more new and bar different paint job and headlights. I prefer cables to ride by wire having ridden both and you really need to ride the XSR to keep up with quicker more modern bikes and rev match etc which is all part of the fun. Wee hooligan bikes. As said before those MT60RS I think are way better than most road tyres all year round, wet and slippy roads and on gravel and they do switch on quick, get sticky with heat being a SuperMoto tyre, great in wet, The seat height is a actually about 840mm ish and seat looks pretty much same as XTribute, I take mine green laning and on back roads and so on reflection would have bought the Ducati Desert Sled tho the early L twin bikes are soft mechanical whereas that CP2 is a peach, What about the Fantic Rob?
Wife is now liking the ,24 XSR700, "highly acceptable", I dig the '24 and this edition, somewhat worried about the non-slipper clutch, however I don't really ever notice the dry clutch on my Hypermotared and old school Harley Davidson clutch, however the bike isn't for me... this version is very cool looking.
Hi great channel and video content. I have the 700 xtribute what quadlock mount have fitted to the test bike in this video? Also can you recommend some earphones? Thank you
There is a guy I do not know who lives not far from me. I have come across him when heading out or coming back for rides in the excellent country roads not far from where we live. He has an MT07 with an Akro exhaust, and on the sound per $ measure his bike shites all over my s1000r, and $ per usable performance he is ahead. The xsr700 might partially solve the fugly issue for the mt07…BMW has not solved that problem for the s1000r…
Yamaha verus Honda been going on for 50 Years now actually so how the 21st Century variant plays out definitely worth a look absolutely. Not sure which bikes of mine I like better Yamaha or Honda but would be nice to see what's going on with the whole FJ1300 versus ST1300 if they still even make them these days.
Now if they made the MT-07 (with its lower seat height) as simple as this bike, without all the bells and whistles (I'm old school) I'd buy it. I don't really care to sit on top of the bike, but instead down in it kinda.
I am all for taking the XSR700 stripping it back to basics and getting it out at a... hold up... you want to charge MORE after stripping it back? I'm sorry, you've lost me with that one.
this is the perfect xsr. you dont need traction on a bike like that and drive by cable is much better then by wire. i ride a 2010 kawi Z1000 and that bike is like the last of analog bikes. no traction, no abs, no nothing lol
What did you say about aftermarket exhausts?!😂 All of them sound louder than original. Mine has the keovince underbelly exhaust. No cat, without db killer it sounds like war.
Nice, but another grand buys you a Street triple R, with all the bells and whistles, more power, better handling and throttle response. Oh, and about the same weight. XSR is a budget bike with a premium price.
@ You’ve never ridden a 765 have you, because if you had, you would know the throttle is smoother than the Yam. But heh, if you think a droning small parallel twin sounds better than a triple, your on a different planet anyway. They sound like a loud fart. Buy a Ducati for sound. Oh, and enjoy your mediocre handling, the 765 has better suspension and is fully adjustable. Oh, and 120 bhp against 70 ? 😂🤡

I was quite taken with that until you said the seat height. The standard exhaust is horrible. The upgrade a bit better. The next version will probably be all whistles and bells plus several thousand dearer. Shame about the seat height.
I HATE bikes with 1,000 buttons and cubes all over them. The africa twin is an atrocity when i went to the honda dealer. I like the middle weights and lower bikes because they arnt bursting with power and don’t need 100 driver aids to actually drive it.

Rider modes are necessary on bikes with too much power, but not on bikes like this one
I don’t know but does the TFT work better in sun light
The only good deal for xsr700 is to buy second hand 2016 model. You can get it cheap, and it is still basically the same bike 👌
