I recently upgraded my Harley Street 750. That was my first bike and I had it for close to ten years.

I got to say that the XSR is really good. I took some time to understand what the electronic aids to and set them to grandpa riding, but it still has quite a bit. I noticed that I don't have to shift as early. The more aggressive seating feels odd, but I will get used to it. It comes with cruise control so I hope to take a few long distance trips.

Anyway I am off to some good impressions on my second bike. How is everyone else's weekend?

You can't go wrong with a Yamaha. The CP2 and CP3 engines of the XSR700/MT07 and XSR900/MT09 are two of the most reliable and fun engines on the market at the moment.

I had to sell my MT07 a few years ago and I have missed it ever since.

That is really unfortunate that you had to sell :(
