Yammie Noob Yammie love ur videos I’m looking at a sena smh10 or cardo freedom 2 plus found great deal on both what are your thoughts or anyone else’s thoughts
Love your chanal. what time are you doing the giveaway today Sunday March 15th. keep up the great content. I'm new to riding I don't have a bike yet and I'm learning so much from you guys. I really love the Leo exhaust on the ninja 400. Now all I need is the 400 to put the Leo exhaust on LOL.
And by the way I like to thank you guys in advance for winning the ninja 400. Lol 😊 🏍
How do you feel about the kawi ZX-6R?
@@obriangrady2295 your lucky my man. Take care of her.
Take a shot every time Yammie calls it the ‘XXR’ and you’ll be hospitalised 😂
Ha, good call buddy
Lol!
Lol! 😂
Passed out before I got to the XXR 900 overview…
But the 700 is only 84,990 dollars!
My first bike after 30 years away from riding is a 2017 XSR 900. For the first few months I rode it on full traction control in rain mode. It's now in standard mode, but still full traction, and yet it has still popped several mini wheelies. I have to say, hand on heart, I think this bike has saved my arse on several occasions. I treat this bike with the respect it deserves. I look after it, and it looks after me. Absolutely love it. My only gripe: the fuel tank styling and fuel capacity. Love the lines of the XSR 700 tank, not so the 900. Fuel capacity could be several litres more. And if you're wondering, I turn 56 this coming April.
XSR700: Sir? Please restrain yourself.
XSR900: *harder, daddy*
LOL
One thing to add, is that the exhaust majorly impacts how you experience the bike. Give the 700 a proper full exhaust like the 900 had, and it will also roar through the rev range like a classic muscle car ripping down the interstate. That's one of the main reasons I find the 700 so appealing, sure it's not a complete hooligan bike, but it still maintains that thunder in its soul once you open it up and let it sing a bit without restrictions
@tom tom You can literally see the full Akra exhaust on it (6:52 example). The reason yours might sound more violent is likely because you removed the baffle, which isn't the case with this one. Still, the full exhaust with baffle still highly alters the sound compared to the stock system.. Besides, you can alter a lot of how a bike behaves depending on how your tune is set up. Can't compare modded to modded like they're the same. Besides, Yammie doesn't like wheelies, you will never see him pull one even when there is plenty of potential for it. So don't expect him to pull one. And obviously a parallel twin will never sound like a triple. It s a different engine with its own character. Why would anyone expect a twin to sound like a triple?..
@tom tom well I think cp3 engine is beginner friendly 😅
😂
I read this sitting in a plane on the tarmac and laughed hard enough to get busted and told to put it on airplane mode.
This man comparing two Yamahas while wearing a Triumph t-shirt
hah !
and he keeps saying xxr
Type of dude to wear adidas shoes with nike pants
Thats to keep you in mind who your god is.
He’s trying really hard, with a pair of Alpine Star boots too.
Yammie Noob: "This motorcycle comes in at $84,899."
Me: "Seems steep."
😂
Gordon Freeman Damn right at my budget
I died laughing when he said this
I had to go back to make sure I heard correctly
Seems like you might be able to buy 10 bikes for that.
Yammie Noob:
"Don't get the 900 thinking you'll grow into it"
Me:
"I'm gonna get the 900 and grow into it :)"
Same 🤣🤣🤣.
I just got one few weeks ago
How effective is rain mode. Legitimate question.
@@raymond4307 how you liking it as a beginner?
Yea, definitely didn't want to get a 1000, I'm not that dumb, this is probably a bit more tame, and it looks great
Told my dad about twisted road and him and I are finally doing a motorcycle road trip. Thanks mate
awesome
Yammie Noob I don't like riding with my son I'm terrified something's happens I couldn't cope with that , I love them but Motorcycles are damn dangerous on today's roads full of lunatics
@@boomerhgt grow up
Finally, someone rode my bike (XSR 900) on TH-cam. Love the channel, Yams.
How do these bikes compare to the ones you rode in China? Love your old bike vlogs just about to get my first bike down here in Oz
PS would love to see you and Winston do an advice for newbies re bikes, helmets etc
Hi, '86. When are you and Zed-A gonna review the Zonteses and CFmotos and Benellis of the world?
Hell, when are you guys gonna start importing those bikes to the U.S./Canada?
You're the reason I bought my chinese neighbour's bike!
Low key flex eh
Damn.... $84,999 is steep for an XXR. Disappointed that Yamaha priced this thing through the roof as I just don't see them moving many units at this price!
Only joking Papa Yams! You are awesome and I loved the video, by the way! I love all of your content. I would be really curious to hear your thoughts on the XSR700 vs the CB650R. Is the CB light years ahead?
I was gonna buy one but for 5k less I got a new Range Rover.
Hahahahah 😆
He's got his t-shirt tucked in, what a yammie noob.
Yammy Noob: XXR
Yamaha naming team: Am I a joke to you?
After 3 years of experience, I changed my MT-25 with an XSR900 and I still remember the first ride home from the dealership. I was screaming in joy & horror at the same time. Even in B mode XSR900 is an absolute monster.
This made me laugh! I prefer to ring out more "manageable" motorcycles than to drop loads in my drawers every few minutes on the high HP bikes.
I would've bought the XSR900 (the 700 felt like a 125cc bike), but the shape of the fuel tank where it meets the seat hurt my thighs. It was such a weird design. I got an MT-09 instead mostly because of this.
@@mekanikmusik U MUST BE FREAKIN TALL
Lol, did you just say “mid to late 20’s, early 30’s..” was the older crowd?! Not sure where that places me (mid 50’s... and XSR900 owner). Keep em coming, Yammie!
Is it comfortable enough for a daily commute? Mpg? Is it easy to ride 10 miles on the freeway?
@@genericallyaccepted, most definitely comfortable enough for a daily commute. i think you will get about 140-150 miles to the tank... a bit less if you are aggressive of course. 10 miles on the freeway would be no issue. I have the clear OEM windscreen. It isn't very large but does deflect enough wind to make speeds over 70 manageable. the riding position is very comfortable (not hard on the wrists at all) but the seat isn't the most comfortable IF you were going to be riding for more than 2-3 hours at a time. without the windscreen, the wind was hitting me straight on. with the screen, it might hit the upper shoulders. So again, you could certainly do a longer road trip but you need to be a bit of a warrior. hope this helps!
@@markpeter107 definitely helps! Thanks for your response. I'm really torn on this and the Honda cb1000r. I lean towards the Honda, but I need to test them this summer.
@@genericallyaccepted i think both will be fun and reliable. i htink the honda will have more forward body lean which will put more weight on your wrist. probably not a big deal for a daily commute tho. will probably come down to which bike has the looks you like more... retro-mod or street racer. good luck and enjoy (be safe!)
Yeah an older rider in his late 20s 😂
You describe the feeling on the xsr900 very precisely and full of expertise, very well done!
I cannot put into words the contribution you make to the motorcycle community. Thank you for your work.
Just subscribed! Love your channel - very professional and informative without being boring. Nice job!
The giveaway bikes this round are top notch, I'll definatly be in on this one!!
I love the effort you’ve put in to the decor
More yammie ? Sunday just got even better !! 🤙🏻
I’ve been waiting for this for so long. So glad you did it.
I own XSR700 my first bike & love it! Yammie I’m old af 50! Love your vids kid :)
Your right no other videos comparing the 2 ive been looking and finally you released this i own the 900 and man is she fun
I'm a big tall guy. Bought the xsr900 as my first bike. Left it b mode for quite a while. Took it real easy, couldn't be happier with my decision. It's CRAZY powerful, did you just have to respect it because there's no room for mistakes.
The display reminds me of a Nest thermostat. Great review format, thanks for the depth and front loading!
I just bought the XSR 700 and im in love with it! My first bike ever, and im very happy with what i got! :)
Excellent choice. I've ridden since childhood and find the XSR 700 an absolute blast. My daily is a KTM 1290 SAR, so it's not like I'm missing a powerful bike in my life. Stay well.
@@thepassionofthegoose5472 Thank you! i love the bike, but now i want something with more power, but that will happen with time, be safe out there!
JustAnotherKat
Stock it has a top speed of 120.... what else do you need?
Your first bike?? Am thinking to get it as my first bike... Is it good for a beginner??
@@robertmassive5335 yup my first bike too it's incredible. It's an incredible machine. I adore mine.
So get the xsr900 as my first bike. Thanks 👍
Finally people appreciate my bike the xsr900 is amazing and i love it best bike ive owned
Finally a video that does a comparison! Thanks Yammie. Gotta CB300F last year to see if I missed riding...turns out I did. Been deliberating tween these 2 and the Scrambler.
Good comparison, it's amazing how different the two machines are really, for both being XSRs.
Im a begginer and im still getting the XSR900, fuck it see me at my funeral soon.
same, see you in the afterlife bro
Run Forrest Run 🏃🏻
Hope yall still alive 😂. Ride save.
You still alive bro?
We all gonna die
I really appreciate this video Papa Yam!
Just got my learners permit, excited for the journey ahead
Not a Cop
Are you a cop?
thanks man was looking for this video from you for a while now.
Great vid it's actually helped me choose my next bike cheers yammienoob
I love my xsr700. Kept it all stock. I hadn't ridden in 20 years so I got the xsr700 rather than the xsr900. It was perfect. Still is. Im 5'6". Can't really flat- foot but no problem. It's light.
What a fantastic video.
Want a xsr700 but been told to get a 900 as you will get bored.
This video has made my mind up........xsr700.
Thank you my friend.
Steve
England 🏴
I'll go for the 700 being an older rider in my twenties 😂
LOL. I’m pushing 70 and will be picking the 900 up shortly. You’ll be the same if you make it this far, trust me. 😎
@@Buckarooskiczek it was what Yammie said that's why I'm laughing because he says it as if late twenties is old! I've just started riding a couple of years ago. I'm 50. Bet that 900 is sweet 😎
Don't be afraid of a motorcycle. The person riding it is who you should be concerned about. A bike is as dangerous as its operator. There's no such thing as a beginner bike. Learn to ride safely and you'll be fine.
To keep with the retro aesthetics while upgrading the full exhaust of that XSR700, you might want to look at SC Project's Conic '70s. It looks amazing, like it was built just for that bike. And it won't sound like a lawnmower anymore, but like a proper cafe racer. Cheers!
Great review matey !!! although abit of a suggestion next time, more camera angles would be the icing on the cake !! much love
Thank you so much for not playing some annoying edm or trap background music. Big thumbs up
I'm not typically one to spam the comments, but I dropped an Xsr700 vs 900 vid about a month ago, bro! Come on pappy yoob! Can't believe you didn't see it! 🏍🤙However, I admittedly don't go this in depth. Well done, broseph!
Love this bike! I actually bought a 2020 CB650R as my first bike only because I saw the videos on this bike and was shown what a beast it is. I’m ready for it now, maybe next year 🤷🏻♂️
I bought an MT 07 last year and I am really looking to upgrade to the XSR900. Thanks for showing the seating position on the XSR900 was always curious how the knees fit on the tank!
57 years old...away from bikes for about 15 years and bought an XSR700 to re-enter the 2 wheel life. Apart from that 15 year hiatus, I’ve had road bikes since I was 17 and got my licence...from CB400f to GPz1100, CBR600F3, GSF1200, VTR1000...the list goes on. But I have to say, (apart from the VTR1000) the XSR700 is my favourite...it does everything I ask of it, with comfort and style !
I've wanted a xsr900 for 3 years, I currently ride an old ass 78 xs750 and xs11. These things look great!
We need a *Kawasaki Z900RS vs Yamaha XSR900* 😎
Great video 👍🏻 my girl is talking about the xrs700 This video made it a lot easier to talk her away from the 900
Bro, you pulling a wheelie in 4th is amazing!
"Street sport focused" is what Im leaning toward for my next bike. Props to Yammie and pals for guiding me on this journey to N+1.
After this vid. You’ve got a new subscriber here in Madrid, Spain
I have the xsr900, a huge step up from the cb500f I had before it. Its really crazy how much more confident the suspension on a more expensive bike makes you feel in corners, I would also say this bike is very comfortable and in love the engine sound, to hear the engine is the only reason why I get on it.
I haven't tried the 700.
Still liking the 900? I currently have a CB500F and I'm looking at maybe getting the 900.
so XSR900 makes a great first bike... got it 👍
Oh hell naw! I'm still a newbie at three years. Too much power for me. The XSR700 seems perfect.
hell na you may try the xsr 155 first its cheap like 2.5k
@@yutella616 my country has a bullshit 400cc limit on expressways, I'd be spending much money if I buy a smaller displacement bike to practice on then get a +400cc bike to daily drive. That bullshit law is obviously meant to keep poor people out of the expressway to avoid overcrowding and accidents, first time the government limited how much they steal money from us just cause someone died while riding a motorcycle when a U.S president visited a long time ago
Got MT 09 as second bike (after 3500 miles on a Honda Rebel 500). I’ve lost 4k$ on this exchange, don’t want to change in 2 years. I got the bike, hit the road in STD mode and TCS 1 progressively. Saw the throttle was « responsive ». Got few hits, after 500 miles I can hit pothole and the bike stay under control. I also start to lean more and give throttle at end of corners. 60 to 80 off and on ramp will give you a smile. It depends on your maturity, if you like to go full throttle all the time then, or cant resist to hit max speed on all bike you touch, MT are just not for you, or any bike with agressive throttle responses. Even the 07 can pop the wheel if you hit hard. If you’re smart and want to get home safe it’s a good bike. Slipper clutch is awesome and cruising on highway is night and day.
Looking to buy an xsr later this yesr, this video is super helpful
thanks this are both bikes that are on my list for my next bike
Lmao I got the XSR900 as my first bike as well. Just make sure you keep the TC on 2 and the ride mode on B and she'll be very forgiving
Yea as long as we use our heads and some defensive riding rules everything gonna be fine
I know it does a wheelie taking off from a light almost everytime if it ain't on tc2
Traction control=TC?
Same here man
Love my XSR 900, came from a 3rd gen Sv650 and it is an improvement in every category! :D
"if you;re in your late twenties"....lol. my XSR700 will be my 21st bike and I'm 50!
Hear hear.
Hey man, I am a full beginner, planning to get my first bike, considering XSR 700.
I want something that I can go to the city with, and hit the road from time to time. Also I want to grow into it, cuz I plan on buying it new, and not changing it for a long time. Any thoughts?
@@lukmannurovic5383 I wouldn't buy a new bike as your first bike. You'll feel bad if you drop any bike but you'll feel extra horrible dropping a new bike. Also the insurance can get nasty for a new rider buying a showroom new bike. Find a used XSR would be my recommendation.
@@Bredaxe problem is, they often arnt much cheaper
Bought a 2020 XSR 700 tech black! with Akrapovic - picking it up next thursday - cant wait as its my first bike :D
What did ya think of it? Still riding it?
@@conner1466 Was a very good first bike, easy to ride and lots of fun with a good grunt to it. Riding a Harley Sportster 48 this upcoming season though!
How about a side by side comparison of the triples? The Yamaha and your two Triumph's. Would be really cool.
Gotta love Yammies Street Fighter 2 intro music 😊
Thank you for the insight 💯. Now i will buy both 😇🙏
That's a serious flex to buy the same bike twice lol
From now on, we have to just call these XXR as Yammie referred to them all video :D
Love my xsr 700. Pilot Power 3's massively improve the handling and a full carbon akra race exhust makes it sound mean. Track day a lydden hill in may!
Hey man, wonderful and detail review on both bike! How tall are u btw? Coz u look really good sitting on the bike
Great video man! What mirrors do you have? Looking to get the same ones
Nice to hear more about the XSR! I'm a relatively new rider and the 900 was my first bike about 2 months ago. I ride almost every day in pretty heavy traffic and I've never felt like the bike was too much. People keep saying it's not a beginner bike, but I don't know what that means. Is it just too twitchy a throttle? Not about to contradict any experts, I just think as long as you're careful AF, taken some courses, and have some other riding under your belt (used to ride dirt bikes as a kid) you're fine. If you're riding like a jackass any bike is a deathtrap.
Nathan Grove the xsr700 is still almost to much for a beginner lol should start out on a 300-400
@@CarbonR6 Yeah, maybe if it's your first time on a bike. I'd been renting bikes for about 6 months beforehand and had prior experience with dirt biking.
@@nathangrove7061 I felt the same way after I got my license and started riding a 600cc Honda f4i. It's a legit fast bike but like as long as you don't do anything dumb that you shouldn't do on any bike it's fine. I will say opening it up in 1st gear to redline the first time I almost fell off lol but that's just life.
Agreed. I rode a drz400sm as my first bike for 1 year and then moved up to the xsr900. I never plan on selling it, such a blast to ride.
Many years ago, my first bike was an 86 VFR750.... bitches that complain that certain bikes “aren’t beginner bikes” are the idiots that can’t trust themselves with real equipment....they have no relevance to anyone else....
People die on bicycles... buy the bike you want after passing the motorcycle safety course, be an adult, don’t try and do anything beyond your skill level....
Wow, this is my Dream Motorcycle, Whether XSR 700CC OR 900CC, Gods will.. Tnx
Hopefully i win this XSR700 or 900cc, from Philippines, tnx
I love how he can't get xsr right
The XSR 900 is the bike i plan to buy second hand after I get the full license (2 years of riding)
Think i'm in love tbh. Been looking to upgrade and looks like the xsr900 will be it!
Nice, I’ll check it out
Do pros and cons about yamaha and honda bikes. Awesome channel
I bought xsr700 with 35kw restriction as my first bike and I must say I love it. For a complete begginer is brutally fast and couse it got torque like in every rpm you almost cant be in wrong gear. My third riding season just began with it and after 2 years this bike still feels fast. I am surrounded with twistie roads and I just love to ride it there eventhugh I got stock tieres on. Yeah this bike realy feels the most comfortable in low rpms and crousing but you can still ride it quite sporty. Definitly have to get akrapovic on it couse I think that will improve overall expreience with it.
Thanks man, that was super helpful. I really like the Desert Sled the noob rides, but I'm hesitant on the Ducati maintenance schedule. A friend of mine recommend the MT-09 and I just like the XSR styling better. I think this video might have sold me on the lower cost and less maintenance of a Yamaha.
Love the review and the channel. How does the XSR900 compare with a ZX9r as looking for something more upright with the same power?
Love the look of these bikes , really wanted the xsr 700 bit didn't wanna make a huge jump as a beginner so I got a rebel 500
The Rebel is a cool bike bro
Here in 2021 to congratulate Whitney on the upgrade from owner-Yam-met-on-Twisted Road to member of the team!
This really does make sense
Yammie, you should do a review/ moto vlog on a buell xb12
Lol. The xsr900 is my first bike. I love it!
Ha, same! I got mine a few months ago. I'm in my late 30s and not a dumbass though, so I've been very careful with it and haven't done anything foolish. It requires a steady and careful throttle hand, but if you're mature and treat it with respect, you'll be fine.
Beautiful bikes
Good review thx for posting. As you mentioned 2 totally separate bikes that just happen to be made by the same manufacturer…
The XSR 900 is a blast to ride ! One thing is that is very, very tempting to do things with it that are not within legal boundaries. Or I should have said that is downright impossible. lol
M new to riding and learning how to ride a beingner..i bought a classic 1100 vstar n ppl said its a lot of power for a beingner..i love it ..
Love my XSR900, thing pulls to 0-150mph like it’s no one’s business
I Just Love the video and that you can say Akrapovič like it is pronaunced in Slovenia :)
it's the ergonomics mostly. it is so much better to ride in the upright position you don't get as tired as quickly.
HOW THE HELL DO YOU KEEP SAYING "XSR" AND "XXR" INTERCHANGABLY??! MY OCD IS ERUPTING
LOL 😂
Cannnnnoooot wait to get my 700!
I just want to point out that you sold me on these after contemplating getting one for awhile. I've had one for 3 months now and it's an absolute ripper. The torque is amazing. I can bang 1st, 2nd and then 3rd all in one wheelie without even touching the clutch. Hands down the funnest bike I've ever owned in my life. I destroy 600's and can even manage to hang with liter bikes up until about 120 before they dust me.
700 or 900?
Hello, respect from România ❤️♥️
Editor on strke? "...it does have dual disc brakes up front..." [show close-up of gas tank] "...this master cylinder here..." [show close-up of speedo] :D
Thanks for the video! Been thinking a couple of months now to get the 700. Started with Grom and I’m 5’5. How tall are you? The seat height is my main concern now.
Yesterday I bought my own dreambike. The XSR900. Thanks for your video, it was very helpfull making a discission.
P.s. sorry for my englisch, i am.
dutch :)
Will you do xsr900 vs z900rs? Been waiting for that video for years
I was just in the motorcycle shop looking at that XSR 700 and let me tell your brother I totally fell in love with the bike. I am also looking for my first bike right now so thank you for this video. Lol Brother you said this bike was $84,000. I think you realized the mistake but rolled on pretty good.
I know I’m not looking at Kiana Reaves “arch” bikes
Yamaha episode wearing a Triumph t-shirt. Gangsta
absolutely love my xsr 900. 20k miles down and i still go 6 - midnight every time i slide the key in the ignition
Hey Yam’s, hope you are going to do a xsr900 and triumph street triple comparison, and I’d like to hear your thoughts on a z900rs some day.
