Awesome video Matt! We appreciate you taking the time to come ride the bike! Glad you enjoyed it, and we will definitely have more bikes for you to test ride in the future!
Thanks again for putting me on the XSR900, it's a real blast to ride! :) Looking forward to doing a couple more First Rides with you guys before the end of the season as well!
Bought a 2020 about 5 weeks ago. Added full exhaust and a few other goodies. Already put more miles on it than the bike in the video has lol. Fun bike. Long list of pros and a short list of cons. The sound alone when you're getting on it almost entirely eliminates any of the cons the bike has!
@PastorMattMoto I hope to see an XSR or MT in future videos! I put the 300mm Black Widow full system on my XSR, it absolutely screams. I've had a dozen+ sportbikes, all with exhaust, and I'm fairly certain this is the angriest sounding bike I've owned. So awesome lol. I usually put about 10k miles on my bikes and swap them out, I've done 3k on the current... Not sure what I'm getting next. Either a 2nd gen XSR900, 24 MT09, GSX-S 1000, MT10, Speed Triple 1200 RS, or a ZX14R. Not really sure which direction I'm going yet. If I keep packing miles on my XSR like I have been, I'll be at my self-imposed 10k limit in like 3 months smh... Anyways... Say safe out there man, and have fun! 🫡
That's a good question, they are similiar sizes and both triples, so the engine characteristics aren't worlds apart. The XSR has softer suspension, at least the 2019 model year, the XSR suspension was changed in 22 to be more sporty, along with more sporty ergos. The 19 XSR 900 is more of a motard/supermoto seating position, the pegs on the 955i are much more tucked up and back like you would find on a supersport. I would say the XSR has more top end than the 955i, but it was also a much newer machine. The 955i had alot of miles on it, so that may have made a difference in its current performance.

More sporty and firm then the old Mt 09✊🔥
True! And the throttle is relatively smoothed out as well. :)
Nice video, I just bought a 2019 XSR900 a month ago. love it.
Awesome! The mid range power on these is excellent, even more punchy than the new Street Triple!

I'm definitely going to grab an Xsr900 or Mt09 for the next riding season. The Full Yoshimura Exhaust on the MT sounded absolutely top notch!

How does it compare to the 955i speed triple? The engine performance?
