Xsr900Rider

Trying to figure out how to delete this. Can’t bring myself to part with it yet. Maybe I can sneak some time on the bike this summer.

I have a like new 2016 Yamaha xsr900 I’m looking to sell. It has just over 3,000 miles(mileage may go up as I ride it). I am throwing in all my riding gear and stuff for the bike. I’m not able to get out and ride enough to justify the payment so it is time to let it go. Riding Gear size 46 black Joe Rocket jacket leather and textile 2 pair leather riding gloves size 47 Sidi riding boots scorpion Hemet and scena headset Bike accessories moto demic fly screen r&g radiator gaurd r&g block off plate for rear pegs still have stock rear pegs rear tailbag rear stand I will work on getting pictures of everything and need to make sure I know my payoff before posting the asking price. I just wanted to get it on here for anyone interested.

best kind of rides. Wish I was off enjoy some great weather riding for all us poor bastards working today.

Dammit I have to work , have a good ride. Got any general direction your heading?

Welcome, sorry to hear about the bike.

Looks good. I'd say you'd have plenty of room with all that storage for a nice camping trip.

@JustinNck1 did you decide what day your going down?

Nice bike and congrats.

I have helmet, gloves, jacket, and riding boots. I'll probably order some pants soon and probably textile to go over whatever I'm wearing and maybe not be freezing when I'm riding in the high 30 degree mornings this year.

So the wife sent this to me this morning. I think that means I should use this in any and all future bike purchase decisions.

No I mean right now I'm in regular jeans not riding jeans. I was looking at the SR line of jeans actually this morning. Sr4 and sr6

Hmm I'd probably have to sew in the waist. I'm 6'3" 215lbs or so

34x34 sometimes 36x34 depending on fit

Welcome, and be safe out there. I dread riding downtown columbus anymore but will do it if I must. Taking rides in the country are much more relaxing for me with more nature and less cars.

That is a great pic! Why do I have to work if I ever hit the lottery I'm taking trips like that all the time.

I probably will one day. I of course need to get some riding pants as that is the last piece of Gear to make me ATGATT. I know let the hazing commence for riding in jeans . Been putting it off trying to decide on textile or riding jeans.

Thanks yeah it is a very nice bike and great motor. I am looking at being able to take weekend trips to Wayne to hit the trails, Hatfield McCoy, and any other trails I can find on weekends. Also hit all the dirt and gravel roads I can find to enjoy the country. I think most adventure bikes are going to be to big for the dirt capabilities I'm looking for. I used to have a crf450x and I used to love to take that down to Wayne. Got rid of it due to back surgery but now I feel like a whole new man and can start enjoying off-road again. Of course still have to be careful and not do anything to crazy, but anymore I am finding I enjoy riding and don't really need to ride like I'm racing myself all the time.

Yes it is the saddleman wide sport tunnel bag and I was wrong that thing is plenty big enough for anything I want to bring. Hell it fit gallon of milk and some other groceries one night. I did add straps to the bottom rings underneath and ran to the subframe because with weight it was shifting side to side but now seems very stable. They do make a smaller version that might fit.

That is the thing I want a little of both. I am seriously looking at that KTM 690. Has enough grunt to get me to the trails with gear and will handle some serious trail riding. They seem like they are hard to find which is fine as I need to either talk the wife into a second bike and save up some for the bike fund or run the XSR a little more and decide if I can let her go.

I know the feeling. I ride mainly by myself one because I left the military to move to an area where I know no one and two I took jobs where I work from home and everyone I work with is in different states. I agree with one of the great parts of riding is the friends you make and I miss riding with people but around here it is mostly cruisers and I'd say 3 out of 10 wave and those seem hesitant since I'm not on a cruiser. I had a time of no two wheels in my life and I'll take solo riding over nothing any day of the week.

I may be down there one day this weekend if things work out.

Got the windscreen in finally today. Mounted and quick spin to see how it works. Does ok and looks good so all in all happy with it. Also added straps to hold tail bag more stable. I Got milk the other day and it shifted and pulled bag over to my left side.

I like that idea

Yeah, glad you posted as I'm going down this weekend for the day hopefully and now I can plan a detour ahead of time

I love it too which makes the thought of switching even harder. And yes we do share engines and I love this triple.
