Hi
I did drool over the xsr900 at my local dealer, but it had loads of extras which I would have wanted (seat cowl, cafe bars, bar ends etc) which sent it near £9k......! Missus would have had a fit!
I got my xsr700 second hand for a good price with 800 miles and even after all my extras inc exhaust, single seat, rad covers and so on, total cost was roughly the price of a standard new one. And the missus never knew about the cost for all the extras......result!
I'd still have a 916 though if money was no object, just to put in the lounge and stare
