I got my XSR700 2021 Euro5 model on April 12th, 2021. I had my previous bike a long time ago, when I was a teenager. That was a Gagiva Freccia C12R, I loved that bike. Since then I have dreamed about buying a motorcycle, but I never did it, until now. I went to my local dealer on February and ordered XSR700. I also checked out the BMW F900R, but when I showed a picture to my wife, she replied: "that is butt ugly". I am glad she did. So I went back to a drawing board, and next day went to Yamaha dealer, and ordered XSR700. Didn't ask anymore for confirmation from my wife. But XSR700 is definitely a wife-approved now. Buying BMW also felt a bit like buying a car with a lot of equipments, sync with phone and stuff like that. I was initially interested in those as I am a bit of a techie. But then I realised that I am always surrounded by tech, and changed my viewpoint 180 degrees. I want a bike that has is a freakin' bike, and that's it. And XSR700 fits that bill great!
I have started to do some modifications and buying tools, here you go!
Abba Superbike Stand (from abba online):
Frame tube ends (From IKH, a local hw-store):
Kriega Bag Fittings (ordered online):
Radiator Guard (Urbano Bruni, painted in black, and I used the included washers as they straighten it up a bit):
I have a few other things waiting to be installed. I'll keep you updated! This forum has already been hugely helpful for me! Thank you for your posts and contributions!
