Re: Yamaha XSR700
I have an ER6-N now as insurance loan bike until my TMax getting repaired. The bike in a sad condition (engine has very strange noise and clutch rough as a badger's bumhole, but I love the idea. I think next spring's project is lined up I wanna have a go on MT09 and a few other nakeds as well, but this XSR700 grabbed my heart

Re: Yamaha XSR700
Quite like it but the headlamp doesn't look right to me somehow. Might be worth a look when it comes out.

Too angular and bashed in looking for my taste, much prefer the looks of things like the Bonneville and even the Sinnis Retrostar or Mash 400.

Re: Yamaha XSR700
What looks weird to me is that the radiator looks totally wrong. It looks as if the one they wanted originally was too small, so they dug a bigger one out of the parts store in a hurry - it looks too big for the bike and its silver whilst everything else is black!
