Only if I get caught! Kidding aside - I have a T sticker similar to what I previously did, so it gives me enough time to go and ride legally. Even tho it is literally 1km from my house...I can prob walk it there in 30 mins! Better safe than sorry

XSR :-) Although the mt09 would've saved me some $$$ I just adore the retro look that the xsr has. And the 900's larger tank size, and metal brackets (on the headlight, and back near the seat) make it look real secksi. She's currently waiting out the winter....but I'm hoping to go for a spin...

Selling a Blue Icon Raiden Jacket...about 3 years old...however I didn't wear it too much since I didn't do as much colder riding as I planned. Pretty good condition, I'd say 8.5/10. Asking $250, or open to trades.

Just an update - I ended up picking up a (new to me) 900. Thanks all for your feedback, thoughts and suggestions. After much deliberation, I ended up siding with the 900 over the 700. It was persuaded with the pretty sweet deal I got on it. Happy Riding! Cheers.

Yeah and I’m not surprised! Those engines purr

Hah - the bike I was originally looking at was sold. So on the hunt again :-)

Hah. I wish, I been researching a new helmet for almost a year now and haven’t pulled the trigger. Why are all the nice ones so damn expensive! any of you guys used a VOSS? They look great, ece rated, but I don’t see any of the “big guys” like Fortnine of revzilla reviewing them?!

Huh, TIL. I didn't know you should replace the helmet after 5 years. Any particular reasoning behind this?!

Ah - thanks. Wasn't aware that's how the traction control helps keep it down. In that case - is it a silly idea to learn on "rain" mode to get a handle of the bike, then "graduate" up to standard? I'm confident I don't need the power of the 900...but the different ride modes, and traction...

Honestly - a “modern” retro naked. XSR has that look with the added Benefits of that triple...and similarly priced as the Cb650r, seems like a better bang for buck with the yammie Definitely way too much of a wuss to wheelie lol. Maybe in the future. I’m not too retarded, although I am totally...

.

I was feeling confident that the “retard proof” electronic controls would be ample to keep me grounded, until I got to Trails comment hahaha. I think I’m ready...insurance is actually decent @ 149$/month. The Cb650r is similar @ 150. (3rd party only) good to know about the Throttle though...

Hey all, Been riding for about two years now, learning the curves with my Yammie R3. I'm looking to upgrade to a "forever bike", and have a few options in mind, and sort of narrowed it down to two prospects: Honda CB650R Yamaha XSR900 I'm leaning towards the 900 because of it's multiple ride...

I'd be interested in a group buy, if we can get one going! Do y'all think it's worth investing in for someone like me, who owns a smaller R3, and doesn't do track days? I mostly ride local rode's so my speed isn't too high..but I feel like this would be nice to have? Thoughts?
