In my opinion XSR900 is just in a class of it’s own to be honest. Beautiful style, beautiful engine, plenty of power, just enough electronics for the city and an occasional ride out . A real head turner for sure... I had lots of people Asking what kind of a bike it is, from young to old, it’s just doesn’t fit fully in a naked segment or cafe racer segment it’s kind of in between , but never the less very good looking bike. Too many Decepticons with power rangers on top of them nowadays 🤣 Have some class ... Honda CB1000R from 2018 absolutely stunning bike also in my opinion, so is the Kawasaki Z900RS.
As an XSR900 owner, I can say that the front wheel comes up with just throttle. No power wheelie or clutch drop needed... They are tuned differently as well. Maybe I missed you say that, but I don’t recall hearing that difference discussed.
@@socialising6037 I've never ridden the ktm350, but both bikes are kind of hard to find for sale at the moment. Can only suggest you take one for a test ride and find out for yourself. Personally, my XSR900 is more fun to ride than my 848 evo that I had previously. For whatever that's worth...
@@socialising6037 I own a XSR900 and its a blast. Would definitely be a huge upgrade from the 350. Lots of power in the low and higher rpms. Whatever your choice, drive safe out there
Mt-09 looks like it was built and tested by a team of engineers with a high budget. XSR900 looks like a very competent machinist built it in a shed. And at the end of the day, it's personal choice. You want the flashy, high-tech, future bike? Or do you want the refined, hand made, retro charm?
I don't really care which bikes are being compared. Talking about bikes, riding good roads on a nice day...this video is a halfway decent substitute for being out there myself.
the XSR900 is a very pretty bike but I can't get behind its red and white tank with the bronze/gold wheels. its mcdonalds color pallet. all their grey and dark red variations look striking tho
Same bikes. Just different riding positions. But XSR looks like a mad max style retro cafe racer classic look. Looks. MT09 looks more like a evil robot.
I absolutely love my XSR900 but it has two huge negatives both involving the seat. It’s too stiff and no depth to it so you feel like your on top rather than in the bike which doesn’t inspire confidence at 100+ And I completely disagree with him. The XSR makes you want to ride hard, pull that throttle and feel that torque all over. All I want to do it carve up the streets as fast as possible. And it will wheelie all day if you want.
Yup. Exactly. I couldn’t keep off the xsr for that reason. Went for the Tracer as being able to tour is a factor, same engine, but my heart lies with the xsr. I kinda felt the MT09 was a lads bike, the XSR a bit more mature but still nuts.
I’m gonna say this to every moto channel I watch.... but thank you. For keeping me happy and alive.. I hope I can get a bike either before I go to bootcamp or right after when I can afford one. I’d love a cafe racer but that seems so hard. But thank you for helping me a lot. If I was able to get this bike, it would help so much because I just need to get out of here and never have had any transportation. Any bike would freaking help but ugh I just need to get out of here. Trying to go to Marines and hopefully things will change. I don’t plan on having a car for a long time. Now i can’t enter for your bikes but I love them all
Adam Terrell thanks I’m trying. Just really need a way to get out of here. Don’t even have a reliable car to do a driving test bc.... lots of reasons.. living with mom again and 18 so understandable. But I just need to get out of here so bad.
Setting aside whether this should be a first bike or not and the things boots spend money on, just remember there will be days you need to show up in a dress uniform, carry gear for training/layouts, or is just horrible weather. Make sure you have a ride those days.
I own an xsr900 and love it but if aesthetics isn't that big of a deal then save some cash and get the mt09 and use the extra to swap out some of the cheaper oem parts that Yamaha put on there.
I'm looking for something I can ride for hours and not hurt afterwards. I have sat on the the mt09 and I like it haven't rode one yet but haven't found a xsr900 yet
'23 XSR9 here. Had to get adjustable levers and more fluffy grips. Still considering dropping the Pegs a bit. Big hands don't comfortably bend very tight (Or could be just Old Fart hands). Careful with Gen 3 XSR9 ('22 up). Be sure stuff fits, lots of very slight differences to previous. The new Brembo M.Cyl takes a different brake lever for instance. Windscreen as well.
I traded my 21 husky 701 SM for a 20 xsr900 with 1,100 original miles best thing I have ever done I love the sumo style bike but the xsr is a stunning, smooth and very comfortable bike to ride
You do know that a "cafe" bike was intended to be fast right? Back in the day, the Britts stripped down and tuned the bikes to run. The idea was to play a song, take off on a specified route, snd be back before it was over.
Quick correction. The XSR does have rebound and preload adjustment front and rear, but NO compression adjustment. Compression can only be changed on the 2017+ MT-09
It's nearly bike season and since my luck at winning bikes sucks... I've been riding every bike I've ever been interested in, in order to find the bike that screams at me to buy it. Haven't ridden an XSR900 yet, but I have ridden the MT-09. It scared the shit out of me. it scared me once because it wasn't my bike and I'm a short Rider, so I was afraid of dropping a bike I didn't own at a stop if the road wasn't perfectly flat. It scared me again every time I wasn't overly cautious with my throttle hand. that bike just wants to light your hair on fire, throw that front wheel up and "Ghost Rider" down the road. I must say in that class of bikes I did find a favorite though. And that was the ,also tall for a short Rider, Suzuki GSX-s750. That bike was amazingly intuitive and quite tame at anything below 5,000 RPMs. Once you broke the 5000 RPM mark it wanted to scream down the road just like the MT-09. Both bikes were really really fun to ride, but I was on adrenaline overload with the yamaha. the Suzuki was nice and calm and tame and comfortable.... a true joy to ride. And then when the road opened up, I was able to hammer that throttle and listen to that in line for scream as I rocketed down the road. The MT-09 is a crazy and fun bike, but I can't seem to relax enough to enjoy myself on it when I'm constantly micro-managing the throttle.
Your wrong about the XSR 900 exhaust if you fit a noisy exhaust your going to miss out on the glorious induction sound of that triple , do yourself a favour and keep a stock .
I ride a 2016 FZ09, in impact blue. I think it looks better than either one of those. I don't do the street Rossi thing, so the suspension is not really an issue. The thing that really sucks is the seat, after 100 miles my ass is on fire.
I put a full Akropovic exhaust and an Ivans tune on my XSR900. It unleashed the beast and smoothed out the throttle jerky cut in and full fuel off when decelerating. Makes twisties more fun and predictable.
Hooligan moto x feel get the MT09. Slightly more refined (mapping also felt smoother) with your weight more on bars get the xsr. Both bikes are marmite.
The XSR900 keeps surprising me. 6 months in , it just keeps getting better. Only fault was some scratches on my tank ( cleaning bird poo ) . In 6 months. Either exhaust ( akrapovic ) or Ohlins to upgrade.
@@DennisEldrup - The bike is a 2017 September with 35 000 km. I’ve owned it for 6 months. Serviced twice, just oil changes. It’s a real easy bike to live with. I’ve had a GS1200, a Ducati Diavel, Impulse 400... etc. I’m happy so far 🙏🏼
Will they give the XSR900 the SP package? I would say there is a decent chance of it. They already have done limited editions of it in the form of the Abarth package. I can see more trim levels on the XSR in the future which would likely come with similar things as the Abarth- namely a seat cowl and a headlight fairing to compete more with the Kawasaki z900rs Cafe.
Anything you touch and feel should be of quality, benign parts that make no difference in performance or feel can be low cost. Don't cheat yourself out of the experience by saving a couple dollars, it's never worth it.
Just did a 2500 mile road trip to bike week on an XSR900. it’s an incredible bike, not a single thing I would change for me personally. This is a no brainer here.
Have to ride these bikes to see if they fit. I did my research and the xsr900 was on my short list, but the tank shape did not suit me - my legs would not tuck under the bulges on the tank - and it felt under suspended. Just did not fit and handle in a way that get well. First ride on the bike I ended up getting - s1000r - and it fitted and get right, for me. For someone a different shape and different riding style might find the xsr or mt perfect.
Hello from Montreal, Canada. I normally take a look at your channel and finally subscribed. Just a question. If I enter the give away bike.Will you ship to Canada or, it is not possible?
Best thing about the XSR is it is way more low profile on the street with cops. It’s also a lot of fun to fool the Harley guys into waving with the round headlight😂😂😂😂😂😂
I really liked my XSR. Never understood why the dash and fuel cap were offset to the side though. Tech spec tank pads, a Corbin saddle and lower bars were my favorite mods.
I think it's meant to echo the early 1980's no fairing racing US superbikes. On those bikes they used to remove the speedo which was usually paired with a tachometer on the standard bike. This left the tachometer offset. Take a look at the early '80's Freddie Soencer and Wes Cooley video.
An MT-09 is an "intermediate" give away bike ? Yeah, it's not as bonkers as a KTM Super Duke or Ducati Street Fighter V4, but still ! I'll shut up now !
Theres actually several reviewers that think the mt09 is easier to lose it with then the super Duke. You can really feel the increase in acceleration at 6k. Superduke is a beast, but has a consistent power band.
@@TheValbunnys Mine has power commander 5, m4 carbon exhaust, k and n air intake. Tuned, with oem quick shifter. Way more fun. Shoots fire. Anyone ever compare the horsepower gain from power commander 5 to ecu flash? I’m in Cali, so they mite enforce smog checks for motorcycles. Ecu flashes are irreversible, so you’d have to buy a stock ecu and tune it down to smog it. Fun fun😐
I've been eyeing the XSR900. My knee dragging on a liter bike days are feeling done to me but I'd like something that can still get on it if I was feeling onry. Would you say the XSR is sporty enough to satisfy a long time sport bike rider who's more into a mellow to peppy ride through some twisties these days?
I've looked at those cheap levers and I immediately imagined the lever falling off while I'm trying to brake into a corner. Not worth the safety risk. Either use the stock ones or get good quality aftermarket parts. Not worth your life to save a few bucks.
I hope I do win the MT-09. But whoever does is getting a fun, fun machine. I currently ride a GSX-S750, and while it's fun, I think the MT-09 would be more fun. Ain't nothing like twisting back on the throttle hard and feeling that front end come up, to say nothing of clutching the front end up, in a closed lot where you have permission to do such things of course.
@@robertsenzasca2387 I have a xsr700 I changed the brake fluid made a huge difference. Maybe this summer I'll change over to steel braided brake lines. 😀
@@arsonx1 I had a 07 for 4 years and I put front spring tops 1,5cm shorter and sae liquid thicker. To make it harder, but I hardly recommend Andreani kit full suspension and spring
More fun than the MT09, Wheelie heaven and so much more of a laugh. Can't keep from ringing it's neck. Mental. Get the XSR900 but change the back end. You won't regret it.

AFAIK, fuel cap was offset so you can fill it to the brim when fueling on its side stand.
I think it's meant to echo the early 1980's no fairing racing US superbikes. On those bikes they used to remove the speedo which was usually paired with a tachometer on the standard bike. This left the tachometer offset. Take a look at the early '80's Freddie Soencer and Wes Cooley video.
Yammie PLEASE compare that xsr to a Z900rs
An MT-09 is an "intermediate" give away bike ? Yeah, it's not as bonkers as a KTM Super Duke or Ducati Street Fighter V4, but still ! I'll shut up now !
Theres actually several reviewers that think the mt09 is easier to lose it with then the super Duke.
You can really feel the increase in acceleration at 6k. Superduke is a beast, but has a consistent power band.
I am ECU flashing my Mt09 2019 soon seem to make big difference to the bike .
@@TheValbunnys Mine has power commander 5, m4 carbon exhaust, k and n air intake. Tuned, with oem quick shifter.
Way more fun. Shoots fire.
Anyone ever compare the horsepower gain from power commander 5 to ecu flash?
I’m in Cali, so they mite enforce smog checks for motorcycles. Ecu flashes are irreversible, so you’d have to buy a stock ecu and tune it down to smog it.
Fun fun😐
@@TheValbunnys about to flash mine with the K&N air filter, and full akrapovic exhaust. It’s an insane amount of power difference
@@jerryp1392 if you flash an ECU you can get it flashed back to stock. Cali sucks for bikes so sorry if you have to detune your ride!
I've been eyeing the XSR900. My knee dragging on a liter bike days are feeling done to me but I'd like something that can still get on it if I was feeling onry. Would you say the XSR is sporty enough to satisfy a long time sport bike rider who's more into a mellow to peppy ride through some twisties these days?
I would guess yes. Looking at one for the same reason.
I've looked at those cheap levers and I immediately imagined the lever falling off while I'm trying to brake into a corner. Not worth the safety risk. Either use the stock ones or get good quality aftermarket parts. Not worth your life to save a few bucks.
I just slap whatever cheap shit I can get on mine, say a prayer and pin it !
Has Yammie ever given his thoughts on the 15-16’ FJ09 or newer Tracer 900?
I love my XSR! Definitely turns more heads than the MTs on the block.
Yea the senior home block
@@jayvee9932 good point...
10:15 *Awkward laugh* that cracked me up
not cancelling the turn signals was ridiculously annoying for not new riders reviewing bikes.
bloopers are best, pls more
I prefer the XSR, if I'm allowed an aftermarket seat ^^
Nice California roll through that stop sign
In my country price of mt9 is about Rs.5500,000 and its about $70000 and seeing yammie giving this bike in a giveaway makes me cry so hard..😭😭
I want an xsrrrrrrrr
I hope I do win the MT-09. But whoever does is getting a fun, fun machine. I currently ride a GSX-S750, and while it's fun, I think the MT-09 would be more fun. Ain't nothing like twisting back on the throttle hard and feeling that front end come up, to say nothing of clutching the front end up, in a closed lot where you have permission to do such things of course.
Mid c cups are the sweat spot anything over c cups is just too much
Maybe a D, maybe
@@christianfontaine2946 maybe small d's but only if the shape is right
@@toxicwaste1581 you are a very wise man
My fiancé has 40 DD. There perfect to me. But it’s all about proportions really
@@toofastnobrakes I like a thin yet fit girl, I'm not a fan of "thicc"
XSR is purty... But I'll take that MT09 anyday.
Get a Mt09 SP.. you'll see how the fixed the suspension jerky problems.
not available in North America
@@arsonx1 then invest aprox. 1200$ in suspension, plus remap, brembo front brake and your mt09 is ready to chew bigger and more expensive bikes.
@@robertsenzasca2387 I have a xsr700 I changed the brake fluid made a huge difference. Maybe this summer I'll change over to steel braided brake lines. 😀
@@arsonx1 I had a 07 for 4 years and I put front spring tops 1,5cm shorter and sae liquid thicker. To make it harder, but I hardly recommend Andreani kit full suspension and spring
@@robertsenzasca2387 Cool I will definitely look into that. What are your thoughts about buying a salvaged r6 and swapping forks with mt07 or xsr700
More fun than the MT09, Wheelie heaven and so much more of a laugh. Can't keep from ringing it's neck. Mental. Get the XSR900 but change the back end. You won't regret it.
Do an updated MT09 SP vs XSR 900 2023 please.
This! 👍
Unpopular opinion: XSR looks like an antique. It’s ugly. I like the modern look.
Agree, I get the retro thing which is kinda cool I guess but I passed on one and don't regret it
Mt 09 to uppright. Feels more like a mx Xsr 900 more. Sporty😎
Don't mind me I'm just gonna keep my left signal on and keep turning left lol
this video makes me grateful for self-canceling turn signals on my goldwing lol
Looking forward to a new 2021 MT-09 vs. 2022 XSR900 compare/contrast.
Always hated the two up seat on the mt and lack of upgrading.
My last two bikes were a V-max and a MT-01, how would they XSR900 compare to those? Would I get bored of it considering my previous bikes?
I love getting my daily dose of papa yam
A salesman of the dealership told me that the XSR map is different from the MT, its slightly tuned down
It's so weird seeing halogen headlights in this day and age. Very vintage, if you're into that sort of thing
That being said... see me on the streets ☄
