I'll add pictures later, but I thought I'd tell you folks some things about me and my XSR700.
I'm a first time biker, after years of dreaming about it I finally stepped up and got my motorcycle driver's license this spring. A couple of weeks before getting the license I had already purchased a new XSR700 from the local Yamaha dealer (thanks Roger at Yamaha Center Turku!). The color is Garage Metal. A friend of mine actually has a similar bike in the same color. I would've chosen green or red, but the sales guy made me such a good offer on this 2017 bike that I simply couldn't refuse :laugh:
In about four weeks I've driven 1250km and last week I had a break-in service done at the Yamaha dealership. They also installed an Akrapovic high mount exhaust on the bike, and I absolutely fell in love with the look and sound of the exhaust. It made a huge difference in the overall feeling of the bike.
I've also done a couple of mods by myself. Last week I installed an Evotech Tail Tidy with my friend and a couple of days ago I installed Rizoma bar end mirrors on the bike. There's still a couple of finishing touches to be made, and then I'll just keep riding and enjoying the bike for the summer. More mods may be on their way next winter.
