Retro series: 2024 Yamaha XSR700
I've been wanting to see more content in this community so I've decided to "be the change"

If you have one, tell us about it. What are your pros and cons?
Personally I hope to get one.
I almost bought one about 4 years ago, but when I went and saw it in person it just looked…unfinished. It seems like it’s just a stripped down MT-07 that they’re trying to pass off as retro. The Kawasaki Z650RS does a much better job of capturing that retro look.
What about it in person made you not to buy it? I like it. But I like it being upright and naked ;)
It just looked like it was designed for much more of it to be covered up. It didn’t have any style, like no care had been put into aesthetics. I ended up with a CB1100. If I were going to pick a retro twin, I’d probably go with a Triumph Bonneville or the Kawasaki. I ended up finding a used CB1100. I really would’ve preferred a twin, but the price was right and I love the style.
This might be my dream bike currently. The only issue it I need a comfortable passenger seat, not sure how these are.
Currently have a 2000 r6, which is great.. but the rear seat is definitely not comfortable!
I like those rims.
Can't go wrong with forged rims. And the color that matches the accent it very nice imo
Always loved the styling on these. Maybe I’m just a sucker for plain round headlights and plain round gauges. Realistically I’d shoot for the 900 for that sweet 3-cylinder. But I really do like the 700s as well.
Now if Honda would just bring the Hornet to the States…
Had that model on my shortlist, before I saw the new Transalp in person.
