Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha XSR700 2015

Yamaha XSR700 2015

With the XSR700, Yamaha has once again hit the jackpot. The retro look with modern elements is currently very popular with customers. The fact that it is based on the affordable MT-07 is not at all a problem, as the entry-level bike is known for being extremely sporty and agile. The XSR700's comfortable chassis and upright riding position are a perfect match. The price of almost 9,000 euros seems steep at first glance, especially in comparison to the MT-07, but the improved appearance and exclusivity make up for the money.

Very agile engine

comfortable yet sporty chassis

comfortably upright seating position

cool retro look

complete instrumentation

good brakes

many accessories available

Suspension too soft for extremely sporty riding

digital rev counter difficult to read

much higher price than the basic MT-07.
