Thanks for the video! I bought a used xsr900 3 weeks ago, mine has bar end mirrors, I totally agree with your comments about the pro s of them. I also didn't like the thin grips and I put foam grips over top, much better, and for the same reason your like your thicker grips.

I bought a 2021 XSR 900 as my first bike. But I've ridden mopeds, dirt bikes and bikes "illegally" before. great bike, easy to maintenance, fun and most crucially cheap compared to the value you get. In regards to the power modes I've ridden most in standard or A, with the TCS in 1 and only in "off" when playing around in parking lot. Many people told me it would be too powerful for a start bike, but honestly I'm glad I did. Mainly for the reason being that I can grow into the bike. When it comes to speed, we have laws and as long as you keep to the speed limits you'll be better off on a bike with better breaks, handling and power than a underpowered / cheap 250cc in my opinion.

Thanks for the informative video! One of my fave bikes I ever owned was a 2001 YZF-R1 that I used to race (until it got stolen...ughhh)... just going to say loading your bike onto spool swingarm stand is easy as long as 1) you know what you are doing and 2) you have a quality sturdy stand like a Pitbull that I used to own. I'm in the process of pulling the trigger on an XSR9 (Still have the itch to ride and I'm in that midlife crisis age range haha).

I am going to recommend the SW Centerstand instead of the portable jack because the center stand is so good it rivals some OEM stands, weighs very little, and you can park your bike on the centerstand and it is really a much more stable platform. THAT SAID, if you go with the quick jack, you should at least get the also-great SW Motech kickstand foot enlarger, because if you are going to rely on the quick jack, and that relies on the kickstand, at least give the kickstand more stable footing.

Hey 👋 I never considered a KTM but I did hear about their reliability being a concern in a passing discussion before but I wouldn't say that should mean much to you. However, I do believe Yamaha is consistently ranked as #1 in reliability. My XSR900 ran without issues over several thousand kilometers
