Congrats on the new XSR 700! How's the ride, beside the strong winds?
Riding this bike is awesome!!! One year ago I bought a honda shadow vt125 as in our country there's been introduced a new law allowing driving 125 bikes with car driving license... After almost one year on honda shadow I decided to pass an exam (believe me - in Poland it's not peanuts

it's the hardest exam in Europe - that I heard) and switch to bigger bike as the performance of 125 is really good for first 2-3 months ... then you lack the power

During the driving course I had an occasion to ride on Yamaha MT-07 and I loved the engine but the look didnt satisfy me

and then I discovered the sport heritage segment of yamaha and got in love with XSR 700 !!! I was considering Kawasaki Vulcan S, but the riding position on XSR was so comfy that the choice was obvious
Yamaha is really a great option for me, it's so easy to ride, torque engine, smooth power, easy to filter the traffic... every time I ride this bike (it's a week time

)) I smile and am very happy !!!
that's my story
Take care
