I’ve been wanting to see more content in this community so I’ve decided to “be the change”

So instead of praying posting my bike over and over, I’ll try to post a featured motorcycle with some quick stats. First up:

2024 Yamaha XSR 700

Engine: 689.6 cc (42.08 cu in) 2-cylinder liquid-cooled four-stroke engine Torque: 689.6 cc (42.08 cu in) 2-cylinder liquid-cooled four-stroke engine, Power: (55 kW (74 hp)) at 9,000 rpm Top speed: 200 km/h (120 mph) Weight: ~186 kg (410 lb)

If you have one, tell us about it. What are your pros and cons?

Personally I hope to get one.

    I can see that for sure. Especially compared in person to the Kawasaki. I’m hoping to post the Kawasaki next.

    How do you like your CB1100?

      The CB worked out really well. It’s got the retro look and feel, it’s comfortable, it’s smooth. It’s got plenty of power as long as you’re not trying to race with it. It even has a center stand, which is really helpful for any kind of maintenance. Mine’s a 2014, so it’s got the 6 speed gearbox. It’s a little bit wider than I’d like, and even though it doesn’t feel heavy while you ride it, you can feel the weight when you’re pushing it around the garage.

            That is a really classy, classic bike. I know what you mean about the effort on the bars, when I ride my Scrambler after being on my other bikes for a while, I have to be attentive to stay in lane or on my side.
