Yamaha XSR700 2022

Yamaha XSR700 2022

Can do everything but nothing well? A clear NO! The lively and agile retro bike with a sufficiently powerful engine can be a good all-rounder, which also looks good and tempts you to heat up the curves. Overall, the bike is fantastically manageable and sporty for me, even as a woman. The engine works better than expected and the seating position is more than comfortable. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of lean angle. I think that many people will continue to choose this bike because you simply can't go far wrong.
