I loooove my XSR900! You're right about A mode sounding different, it's "growlier". In A mode it seriously tries to send you off the back. It's a fantastic bike with an AMAZING motor.
Love your reviews. By the way (from the manual): TCS “1” minimizes traction control system assist. TCS “2” maximizes traction control assist; wheel spin is most strongly controlled.
Finally a bike that will make me look civilized to my boss, even though i eat babies for breakfast. It's the bike that i was looking for all this time :D
CagerOnTwoWheels considering my favorite song is on there... One... sorry but not for my choice. The only album I've ever heard of any band... and that comes from a person that listens to everything from AC/DC (not Axl) to Zombie, BB King to Zepplin, Credence to Yes, Barry White to Anthrax... Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Sammie Davis Jr... Slipknkot, Tool, Stone Sour, Pink Floyd... The list is huge... Anyways the only album I've ever found that'd I'd listen to EVERY SONG on it is Reload.
Great test drive to show the dual face of this bike, I tried and I was surprised by how easy to drive it is , I am in trouble deciding between this and a tenere T7, waiting fir the 2021 model to show up and we ll see which one I ll get in love...
"I eat BABIES for breakfast!!!!" Brilliant review, and looks like lottsa fun. I thought you were going to rear end him at 12:50 though. Gimme Fue Gimme Fie Gimme Jabbajabbajai!
Hi Cager! Great vid as usual :) You may have not known, but after Your review of XSR700 I decided to buy one :)))) I can even forgive you that Portugal won with Poland yesterday :))) Take care and upload more films !
TC setting #2 is more intrusive. That's why the TC light comes on in TC #2 when the front wheel starts to lift up. TC setting #1 will allow wheelies and the TC light will not come on.
One of the reviews that helped me to make my decision to buy this motorcycle. And I do have a smile from ear to ear when I ride this sexy beast! :) There is just something indescribably attractive about this particular machine!!! It doesn’t matter if it’s not a 200hp machine that can do 360km ph,the bike should make you feel good and excited and cool and ( just a little scared for good measure ) while you ride it and this one certainly does :) The 115 hp of that triple engine that are squeezed into a pretty short rev range pull you like a steam train from the very bottom and I love that feeling !!! :) Wish I could Afford more then one Of those :)
Thanks for the honesty about being scared, etc. I'm still not sure how much power I actually want...I kind of want it there, but then I don't want to actually use it....
10:51, that exact moment when CagerOnTwoWheels went crazy!!! That was very cool! 😃 Great review as usual 👍🏻 As for the bike, the front looks (IMO) a bit better than the MT-09, but it still seems that the Yamaha engineers were too busy to develop an awesome engine, so they were short of time for finishing the design... 😉 But it's a fantastic bike anyway!
Nice fast fun motorcycle.I want to see you test ride a 2017 Yamaha FZ10 or in Portugal it's the MT10.Cager I saw Metallica on Tour with OZZy Osbourne in 1986 on the Master Of Puppets tour play at the LONg Beach Arena while Cliff Burton was still alive.Great show!!!.
hey hows does it feel on windy days on the highway I wanna know because i'm thinking about buying one but i'm worried because it gets windy in Florida and random rain by the way I ride motorcycles as a day to day vehicle I currently ride a 2012 1200 48 harley with upgrades.
The best way to tell how well a bike does is not by what the person says. ..its how long they laugh for and how much they keep cranking the throttle..the xsr did very well on the ride id say.
Lemmy from RevZilla said it best "Take a look at a dyno sheet for one of these. It's not even a torque curve, it's like a torque table top. So flat. But here's the thing; from 0-2500 rpm, torque climbs straight up. It looks like a wall. Then it gets to about 60-65 foot pounds and that's where it stays all the way out to the redline"
Funny thing, even tho this bike is more expensive than the MT-09 it would be about 30% cheaper for me to insure the XSR900. Same engine, pretty much the same technological level, yet much cheaper to insure. How does that makes sense?
ElCoco1984 I am pretty sure they "liked" the MT-10 not because of the exhaust sound or because it doesn't "sound" boring. Both bikes with full akra exhaust are still music to the ears. They like the MT-10 over the MT-09 because of the price, and it has better looks and characteristics. By Characteristics it means how it rides, handles, the torque etc. Never heard of the term "Sounds boring" from a reviewer.. 99% of bikers love the sound of a good aftermarket exhaust even me. But nobody buy's a bike just because they want a very rare unique specific one of a kind exhaust sound... (well maybe there's one filthy rich guy who would like that preference). If you like the MT-10 then thats good I like it too. But you don't need to go around subliminally trying to point out that your MT-10 is master race and other people should not like other bikes other than the MT-10. just saying.
Hi Cager, Great reviews... so what bike do you like better.. this xsr900, or the suzuki gxs-s1000 that you called "fat suzi" and then Muscle suzi, haha!! Which do you like better and recommend? Thanks!
hello im a fan from Iceland been watching for few months now. i have my other foot in lissbon my wife is from there.maybe i give you a call next time im in lissbon. but im hoping to move there soon
Subscribed! I've liked to many of your videos to not subscribe.Keep it up. I really wish this bike had a better sound. I've tried to listen to different exhausts on UA-cam but, none of them sound that good.
Nice bike. Lots of power for it' size, but it's to small for me and would be uncomfortable on a trip of two hours or more. In my age I've settled for a Kawasaki cruiser. Not as powerful as the XSR900, but will take me anywhere I want to go in comfort.
Robert Brumley Comfort and egonomics are a very personal thing, but for me the xsr is one of the most comfortable bikes I have ever ridden. I have done 6 hour rides fine.
I'm sure it's a great bike, but I don't care for it's looks. I'll stick with what I have, a'97 Blackbird. I've also gotten used to full fairings and the wind and rain protection they give, it's just great, I don't want to feel like a piece of plywood again at 70 mph. Great bike though for those who like snakes!
Too frenetic for me. I like speed as well as anyone but this is a bucking bronco. The flashing dash would be annoying at night when you're trying to watch the road. Hopefully, that can be turned off. Badass hooligan bike for the boulevard though.
Do you recomend this bike as a first road bike? I am not as much experenced with road bikes but i've ridden 450cc dirt bikes for years on track. I am not a crazy rider, i will never push it as it's limit, but i like that extra power it has. Do you think that in B mode it will be confy and not scary as fuck (at least for the first time)? I've seen you had not problems using it in B.
+Taijean Moodie I have a gs 500, runs rain, hail or shine, but I want more and more lol, and the TCS and abs help for commuting, I'm thinking I'll stay with the xsr 900, I love a cafe racer and if I can't have the thruxton r and ill build an xsr to suit
I absolutely love this bike, I want one so bad.
just bought mine the other day, this might be the best bike ever made, i'm so in love with it, all the power and speed you'll ever need on a bike
I loooove my XSR900! You're right about A mode sounding different, it's "growlier". In A mode it seriously tries to send you off the back. It's a fantastic bike with an AMAZING motor.
5:00 "No one really cares about standard. The in-between..."
17:33 Talks about wanting a throttle mode with elements of A mode and B mode
Love your reviews. By the way (from the manual):
TCS “1” minimizes traction control system assist.
TCS “2” maximizes traction control assist; wheel spin is most strongly controlled.
Finally a bike that will make me look civilized to my boss, even though i eat babies for breakfast.
It's the bike that i was looking for all this time :D
Hello from the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, USA. Thanks for the fun look at the XSR900 and a nice look at Portugal.
I love mine every day it never fails to make me smile.
I'm not certain if this was a review or just pure entertainment. What fun!
the analogy from 10:20 killed me
great scenery! Makes me want to go to Portugal :)
This is by far the funniest review I've seen on the xsr900
Best review of this bike on the net... thank you Cager!
Cager is a Metallica fan :D more reason to like him.
CagerOnTwoWheels considering my favorite song is on there... One... sorry but not for my choice. The only album I've ever heard of any band... and that comes from a person that listens to everything from AC/DC (not Axl) to Zombie, BB King to Zepplin, Credence to Yes, Barry White to Anthrax...

I love them all but my favorite is Master of Puppets
They haven't been the same since Cliff Burton died, still a great album, the last great album they did imo
Royal Enfield with sidecar - going past at 1:53 - now that would make for another interesting review !
gorgeous
he passes it again at around 9:30
Great test drive to show the dual face of this bike, I tried and I was surprised by how easy to drive it is , I am in trouble deciding between this and a tenere T7, waiting fir the 2021 model to show up and we ll see which one I ll get in love...
"I eat BABIES for breakfast!!!!" Brilliant review, and looks like lottsa fun. I thought you were going to rear end him at 12:50 though. Gimme Fue Gimme Fie Gimme Jabbajabbajai!
This review was not only informative but hilarious! Picking mine up Monday and can't wait to eat some babies in my suit and tie.
"I eat babies for breakfast!" Love that laugh too!

Até que enfim uma volta a sério devias era ter esperado duas semanas por mim maluco
great video, great bike I got one and love it because it's crazy when called for and mild when not.
One of the reviews that helped me to make my decision to buy this motorcycle.
And I do have a smile from
ear to ear when I ride this sexy beast! :)
There is just something indescribably attractive about this particular machine!!!
It doesn’t matter if it’s not a 200hp machine that can do 360km ph,the bike should make you feel good and excited and cool and ( just a little scared for good measure ) while you ride it and this one certainly does :)
The 115 hp of that triple engine that are squeezed into a pretty short rev range pull you like a steam train from the very bottom and I love that feeling !!! :)
Wish I could
Afford more then one
Of those :)
ahhhh I want this bike so much!!!
This bike needs the full Akra and it's pretty much perfect. Considering this or one of the new 765 STRs if they deliver.
Great Review as always!!! Can you perhaps do a review on the BMW R1200R soon? Would love our opinion on it
Thanks for the honesty about being scared, etc. I'm still not sure how much power I actually want...I kind of want it there, but then I don't want to actually use it....
This guy has some character.
Cager you're hilarious to watch and listen to! Why have I not subscribed before now???
It's so funny watching and i can't wait till winter is over i can go for a ride on my xsr900
finalmente encontrei um portugues a fazer motovlogs !!!!
STD mode is the mode I use all time (tracer), it gives out full hp like A mode but much more variable :-)
Boas. Essa é a XSR900 que por tanto espero . Amigo adorava um resumo em portugues.
Gosto do seu trabalho, boa continuaçao cumps.
"A Balrog in sheep's clothing" LOL! Love the Tolkein reference.
A FACE REVEAL ! I SAW IT !
The line "I eat babies for breakfast." just got you a new sub. Lmao.
Hi Cager, Love your reviews. Looking forward to your Tracer 700 video ;-)
10:51, that exact moment when CagerOnTwoWheels went crazy!!! That was very cool! 😃

I also had other bikes such as zx10 and ducati 999 before my harley

nothing like a ride in Cascais and Guincho ;)
Funny thing, even tho this bike is more expensive than the MT-09 it would be about 30% cheaper for me to insure the XSR900. Same engine, pretty much the same technological level, yet much cheaper to insure. How does that makes sense?
Older men buy retro bikes, older men crash less.
It isn't just an MT-09 dressed up. The suspension is a lot better, and it has traction control.
And a slipper clutch.
can you turn the traction control off?
yes, three modes: 1,2, and off
Another good review
Cager could you do a review of a 4th gen Z1000, would really like to see your thoughts on it
also does it get hot around the legs?
LOL "i eat babies for breakfast", ganda maluco hahahahahah
How does it compare with the new thruxton R? :) You should try it out :)
The full Akra on this bike sounds really nice like even better than the MT-10/09 imo @_@
ElCoco1984 I am pretty sure they "liked" the MT-10 not because of the exhaust sound or because it doesn't "sound" boring.

12:45 to 13:10 lol
Another great review m8😉
I love the anaemic engine sound at 9:25
very nice looking bike
Almost a face reveal. You teasing us man? lol
Haha great review, i want this ore the mt09 greetings from Amsterdam
this bike kind of looks like a star bolt. very similar body style. this is quite a bit sportier, though.
hello im a fan from Iceland been watching for few months now. i have my other foot in lissbon my wife is from there.maybe i give you a call next time im in lissbon. but im hoping to move there soon
nice humor there mate! "Engine mode : Standard, A which is Awesome, B which is boring." hahaha nice review which is A for AWESOME!!!
cool vid man
Subscribed! I've liked to many of your videos to not subscribe.Keep it up. I really wish this bike had a better sound. I've tried to listen to different exhausts on UA-cam but, none of them sound that good.
it is the same engine like the mt09 Tracer?
Yes, mt 09,tracer, XSR, all same engine
Nice bike. Lots of power for it' size, but it's to small for me and would be uncomfortable on a trip of two hours or more. In my age I've settled for a Kawasaki cruiser. Not as powerful as the XSR900, but will take me anywhere I want to go in comfort.
Robert Brumley Comfort and egonomics are a very personal thing, but for me the xsr is one of the most comfortable bikes I have ever ridden. I have done 6 hour rides fine.
@@nicksavich7970 How tall are you? Thanks.
@@RRRRefuelRideRace I am 5'11. 31 " Inseam. I prefer rearsets and this has a more relaxed rearset.
@@nicksavich7970 Thanks.
TCS 1 and B mode best for long wheelie imho.
And the seat cowl is handy to keep you steady whilst doing them! 😜
I'm sure it's a great bike, but I don't care for it's looks. I'll stick with what I have, a'97 Blackbird. I've also gotten used to full fairings and the wind and rain protection they give, it's just great, I don't want to feel like a piece of plywood again at 70 mph. Great bike though for those who like snakes!
13:00 doesn't the TC prevent it from flipping over!? or it is not that developed like on the tuono?
what did u think of the zed 1000 if you have had the chance to drive it
Good fun review, but please show the gearbox some sympathy 👍
What kind of bike is "Louise"?
Whats the bike at the begining, right outside the shop, on the right?
Too frenetic for me. I like speed as well as anyone but this is a bucking bronco. The flashing dash would be annoying at night when you're trying to watch the road. Hopefully, that can be turned off. Badass hooligan bike for the boulevard though.
Thanks, I did not know that. Always enjoy watching your reviews.
Nice stretch of road
is there a tail cover to makr it look sporty. ie change the seat unit.
I'd like to have the MT-07 or XSR700. :-)
Pretty sure its Grover from Sesame Street 10:20 but after a few wines
i laught so loud when u describe two face of the same bike ... i eat baby ... 😂
what country is this? i want to come ride here
Portugal ;)
where is this? Spain ?
Portugal
"I EAT BABIES FOR BREAKFAST!!!!!"
You cant shift or what? :D
That Metallica reference...
One has to wonder why do they make it a 6 speed when it does 170 in 3rd :)))))
Kvůli cestovní rychlosti a spotřebě :D
Yes, this is what I wrote to him in Czech :)
Don't worry, bud :)
Sounds like too much for me.
Хорошие видео! Познавательные! Привет тебе из России!

Luca Menna not not a good first bike. they have a crazy amount of torque.
"I eat babies for breakfast"
Awesome
なんだか楽しそうなレポートだな。いいバイクだってことが伝わってくる。
OK so xsr900 or gsxs 1000, those are my 2 choices
Yamaha mt10/fz10 solved. XD
+Taijean Moodie I can get the xsr or gsxs for $13000 though, the Mt 10 is $21000 and if I had that cash i would get the thruxton r hands down
lol same here I'm stuck with a rusty old ninja 250r :( I STILL LOVE IT THOUGH! XD
+Taijean Moodie I have a gs 500, runs rain, hail or shine, but I want more and more lol, and the TCS and abs help for commuting, I'm thinking I'll stay with the xsr 900, I love a cafe racer and if I can't have the thruxton r and ill build an xsr to suit
+TheOzTurkish Trust me if i had the money you would see me on a fz09 or a fz07, but hey who could be $2800 on a barely used ninja right?!
850 CC*
847 cc
You better be scared of this bike it will stomp you ass.if you disrespect it.lol
AAHH HAHA WHOA! I EAT BABY FOR BREAKFAST
Someone forgot to edit the intro eheheheheh
CagerOnTwoWheels It's understandable
You're doing a good job tho!
