Welcome Madwilly.
Hope you enjoy the bike and the forum there are some cool mods and some good info on here.
Exhaust is a definite mod to be done and then the list is endless on what you can alter..

I'm 47 - are all XSR700 owners now getting on a bit and now prefer something a little cooler and unusual (and comfy!), than the youngsters 'crotch rockets'.......!?

 

[Rivski]

When you hit 40 I am afraid comfort plays a big part!

But we can still do cool!

I'm turning 44 but i can still scratch those hero pegs ;-)

Just joined the forum. Got my xsr700 a week ago and I'm 64 but feeling half that now.

Welcome Stretch. Medics have spent years trying to find products which will help us defy the ageing process - we've found it already! Perhaps the XSR 700 should be available on prescription! It really is a bike which cuts across the generations with a very wide appeal. Take it steady, mind, as reaction speeds slow down after 60 (I should know!).

You youngsters..... 62 now. 😁.

Ps. Welcome
