Hey look who showed up at Demo Days this morning. None other than Stichill ..(on the left in the photo... check out his T shirt)

He showed up with his son in law and a riding buddy to ride some new Yammies. Particularly the XSR 700 P-2.

Lol there's a balloon-head demo'ing that bike! Tongue

Enjoyed seeing you again, ferret! That seems to be our traditional annual or bi-annual meet-up. Good thing you reminded me it was coming...I hadn't seen anything about it on (anti)social media.

Here's some pics I grabbed of the ride. No idea why I didn't take a picture of ferret...must've been too preoccupied with motorcycle awesomeness.

I was really impressed with the little MT-03. Amazing that it was fitted with Yamaha factory bags and mounts. The engine is fairly tame puttering around but it's a little beastie above 7000 rpm.

Was not impressed with the fueling of the XSR700. Very abrupt on-off throttle made it hard to ride smoothly. The MT-07 was a lot better mannered and was my favorite bike of the three I rode (XSR700, MT-03, MT-07).

Supercub in the showroom. Was hoping to see a CB650R in person but didn't find one on the floor.

Thanks for the description of the XSR, VLJ. On that basis I might avoid it as any such union could well end in tears. Confused

I wasn't impressed with the XR 700 either. I thought the 700 adventure version ran a whole lot better and stronger. It was actually impressive where the XRS version was anemic.
