Nice styling touch putting the finned voltage regulator exposed up top by the tank...
If fins have to be real, and not fake as on many liquid cooled cruisers, gotta use whatever genuine fins you've got,
or who knows maybe it IS a style touch and the real voltage regulator is buried in the back somewhere out of sight.. :-)

More info over here on Lanesplitter... I like it. And having it able to be serviced by a actual dealer within a usable distance of me, i'm ok wit that. The Ducati is awesome as well. Be good to see a comparison.

Very nice looking bike and the specs sound good as well. Excited to see it in person.

I do like that green tank.
I guess my only true "beef" is the watercooling, still haven't crossed that line yet.
I hope it does well.

I would like this as a second bike. Needs some dual sport tires to complete.

I like the green bike at 00:43-00:44 in the video. Had a XS650 once, in red color, and really liked it.

Yamaha is on a roll, really exciting lineup now, at great prices. And, versus Honda and our beloved CB1100, look at all the accessories Yam already has set up for the XSR, before it's even launched:

this topic is useless without pictures, why not a XSR700 fully equipped?
this is a good looking bike for sure, rather have this as a light weight city hooligan bike than a Scrambler
