Hey everyone,
I’m currently stuck in a massive dilemma and need some perspective from people who’ve spent time with the Yamaha CP3 platform.
I am absolutely in love with the XSR900’s neo-retro aesthetic. To me, it’s one of the best-looking bikes on the market right now—it has that timeless "modern classic" vibe that just stands out. However, the MT-09 SP is constantly in the back of my mind because of the upgraded suspension (Ohlins/KYB) and those sweet Brembo specs.
Give me all the reasons why the XSR900 is the better buy. Help me justify following my heart over the "spec sheet" logic of the SP!
