Yamaha XSR900 GP rep

[Berries]

So it has made it onto the Yamaha NZ website but no price given - https://www.yamaha-motor.co.nz/produ...tage/xsr900-gp

Still like those Velocity Moto body kits. I'll have mine in yellow please.

A bit porky at 200 kg eh.

[onearmedbandit]

And if it's priced where rumours suggest it will be, mid to high 20's then it's becoming less and less attractive than I first hoped.

[Moise]

Yamaha should make a R9 plus a R9M with active suspension. Just keep it below 200 kg and they'd have a winner - I'd buy one.

Funny that the images don't show the 2024 MT-09SP brakes and suspension being used. It does sound like the full electronic rider aid system is available but again the 09SP has a couple of little extras which considering the other bits not shown, could be missing

Bit cheaper than feared.

"a fee belly pan valued at $829" fuckin expensive piece of plastic, but

When I was ordering some parts from overseas a few years back a friend asked me to price a rear seat cover for his Repsol Fireblade. Genuine part landed here from America was about $240. The same part through Honda NZ was $540. Makes that belly pan look cheap in comparison. But yeah still.

It looks like they designed the bike with a full fairing and then decided making the belly pan an accessory could bring in more $$$.

Not as bad as KTM charging extra for electronic functions that should be standard, but the same principle.

Wow, they could at least have made it fit properly.

[SaferRides]

It's a good idea poorly executed.

Seen my first one in the flesh today, It was parked up I was in too much as a hurry to go back for a decent look. In the flesh seat look out of proportion too .

[onearmedbandit]

Totally agree regarding the seat, saw one in a few days back and it looks massively out of proportion both in the pics and in the flesh.

Probably yamahas nod to the fact that most riders looking to re-live their 80's race replica days now have expanded ASSets. I know I do.

Headstock always looks too high and Tank angled up on these and the specials people have made to emulate RZ500s
