Suspension is upgraded over standard, plus has abs and a slipper clutch. Handles awesome with razor sharp precision, runs super strong. I got a great price, especially when most dealers are sticking to msrp.
The comparison to the CB are apples to oranges, the bikes are completely different in function.
The CB moderate, the XRS high performance. Build quality of both, superb. Surprisingly, according to the on-boards, the XSR is getting a few better mpg. I've been riding them both the same, my riding style pretty much wrings them out
The CB is a keeper for me regardless, I enjoy it for different reasons than the XRS. I consider the XRS to be a little retro, much more techno. If you come to the 2016 Rally at Bland next week, you'll be able to see them both
Wait.. What.. You're bringing the xsr to the rally... Oh boy... My wallet hates you already
.. I've been deliberately staying away from em... Not seeing on in person, and the fact the mt10 or more likely the fz10 is coming stateside has me waiting..
