    For a bike with power levels that makes most reviewers giddy and scream with excitement, it would seem B mode would have value in situations where that power could be dangerous. Rainy weather comes to mind.

      Jason Williams , love the bike myself and want one but would need to keep it in TC2 and B-mode for awhile all my experience is with a 750 3valve single cylinder. It had between 80-90HP depending on gas altitude temp etc.

      I've never ridden neither this or a MT09, but for what I've seen on youtube, B-mode doesn't limit power, only slows the response down, since the bike has ride by wire. So in certain situations, I could see where you would want the most control you can have, even being a noob, and not getting surprised by a less than linear throttle.

    I've had an xsr900 for almost two months now and will always remember the first time I let the throttle flat out. The power kept coming and coming. I want more and more and there always was more!. I couldn't make my hand let go of the throttle. That was the first/only time the phrase "better than sex" made sense.

    Rode my friends around a bit. It's a little rocket ship, and it behaves much better that I expected (all the reviews seem to talk about how twitchy the throttle is and how much power). Gotta say, my 1983 Honda Magna doesn't feel nearly as fast he to the power delivery, but it keeps up pretty damn good. Glad I had tbe experience as it opened my eyes to sport/naked bikes which I generally dislike riding. Good balance of comfort and speed.

    Great review, nice vid! I own this bike for a few month now and I really like it. I also pretty much agree what he says about the bike, except the part about the horsepower difference in the riding modes. All the riding modes give the same engine power, only the gas response differs. "A" is the most aggresive riding mode, with a very sharp (twitchy) gas respons, standard-mode pretty much says at already and "B" feels a bit slow and odd for my personal favorite.

  • @haleycbrrr
    @haleycbrrr 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I'm sure people have said this somewhere in the 8 years. But B mode is for rain, and it's helpful there. But who wants to ride in the rain. I bought my 2017 brand new and it's THE BEST bike I've ever owned, love it so much, so much fun, so gorgeous to look at. Yamaha caught lightning in a bottle with this bike. Chef's kiss to get Roland Sands to make their FZ-09 look cool.

    I know this is an old video, I bought the 2017 FZ09 and FZ10 (back in 2017) and I guess at the time the 2016 FZ line had some suspension issues, and some said throttle issues. I personally did not experienced any of those issues on either bike, if anything, the FZ10 even though it weighs about the same as the FZ09, it feels like a completely different motorcycle. my comment on acceleration FZ09: Oh! ok ok... FZ10 Holy Shit!!!. People also forget that you have adjustable suspension and that you should adjust it to your weight. and the throttle, nothing that an ECU flash won't correct. (I didn't have any issues but to each his own). Overall great bikes.

    I rented one on two separate occasion and can vouch that you are positioned like a sail in the wind with those stock bars. Try to go around 160KPH and the wind will make you hold on for dear life! Adding to my difficulty was a lose-fitting jacket. It helped a bit to cinch down the arm and waist straps AND close the vents, but the that wind! Great bike otherwise. The power almost anywhere in the rev range was awesome.

    Just wanted to correct your pronunciation. Japanese is extremely consistent with how they pronounce pairs off constants and vowels, likt Ya - Ma - Ha. Every single time it's a soft a. When hiragana was translated to english they decided to use pairs of constants and vowels, so not only are words in japanese perfectly phonetic (pronounced EXACTLY as they are written) but their english counterparts were meant to convey the same thing. People often mispronounce kawasaki as COW-a-saki, but if you look at the pairs of constant-vowels you get ka-wa-sa-ki, which would mean ALL off the a's are simply soft a's.

      I love it. Kriegas are great at compressing down, so I'd choose the R25 if you think you might need the space. ~RyanF9

    I really like this kind of retro bike and I'm really interested in buying one but due to German license laws I can only drive bikes up to 48hp at my age...
    are there any bikes like this one with 48hp or less that you would recommend?
    Does anyone in the comments know a nice, kind of inexpensive bike with that kind of power?

    • @FortNine
      @FortNine  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Ducati Sixty2 comes to mind (41hp I think) but it ain't exactly cheap. Used models probably won't be around for a few years either. Have you considered buying a legit 1970s bike? ~RyanF9

    I've just bought last new XSR 900 available in my country. I don't know why, but it had to be done.

    I never noticed this bike until I was a video / articles on a Retro Kit to make it look like a LC-350 RZ-350 in the USA

    B mode will make sense when roads become excessively slippery.... you can concentrate on other things than exact throttle management and the riding position is perfect as is mostly because it isnt a sport bike so doesnt have that type of seating....

    Hey fortnine what do you think about the Triumph Scrambler

    • @FortNine
      @FortNine  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      As a retro machine, I like it more than this XSR900. The Triumphs know what they are. The XSR is having an identity crisis somewhere between MotoGP and 1969. ~RyanF9

    can you do a review of the cb300r? And not a comparison with an 70s twin, but its real competitors in 2020 i.e the duke 390, z400, g310r!

    What's with these slipper clutches these days? Are people really slamming down gears without bothering to match revs, or is it more of a "feature" to mollify vocal edge cases??

  • @andrewscott1335
    @andrewscott1335 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    You've got the riding position wrong, you should scoot back, then you are not so upright, the tank cutouts would fit you also. This is the reason they made the tank so big, to push you back. Don't ride it as if it's an FZ-09.

  • @zunix01

    B mode is good if you drive in a pothole street or quebec but I found it to be more vicious then standard when hard accellerations, this bike just want to fly and take off and standard more is alot more predictable but more rough on ruff surfaces or junk roads

  • @icecreamtruckog3667
    @icecreamtruckog3667 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Isn't that helmet to small for you and b riding mode is comfortable for highway cruising when you don't want super acceleration on moving the throttle 2 degrees.

    will you do a review of the LS2 Stream Snake Helmet please really like the looks but want to know if it sits nice and stuff

    • @FortNine
      @FortNine  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I like the LS2 Stream a lot. Great value for money - the sun shade is better than you'll find in most expensive helmets. Only downside is it's a bit noisy, but that's par for the course at 120 bucks. Just make sure you have an oval-ish head, and it should sit nice. I love that snake graphic too, by the way. ~RyanF9
