At my weekly stop at the local Honda/Yamaha dealer today, I got to see and sit on the new Yamaha XSR 700. Looks just like the XSR 900. There was what looked like a silver/ aluminum tanked one, and a red/ maroon with white striped one. Seemed to me about a 32" seat height. Had to tip toe to reach the geound on both sides. The dealer lamented that it wasn't an adv type bike. He has only sold one of the XSR900's and it was a special order in the yellow black speed block pattern.
He also got in his demo model of the new V twin Venture (?) touring bike. He offered to let me take it out, and although tempted, I declined for today, but will take it out later. It's a huge thing. I was able to get both feet on the ground alright, but hefting it off the side stand was a bit of a chore for this munchkin.
About another week before the new Goldwing comes in, which is something I am looking forward to checking out and riding.
