Must be able to afford

Overall, the result is a rather quiet driving experience. The XSR is not a real athlete, it will never be with its visually very appealing mixed tyres in the stud look. But if you don't do anything, you just blew through the area.

So what to do or recommend? As I said, the MT-07 is a bestseller. The XSR, on the other hand, does not even appear in the top 20. Somehow you are always happy when you see one, it is something special.

It is logical ly not to blame it thanks to the great base. Logically, however, there is hardly any way to get there. You like them - or you don't like them. Is this look worth an additional 1,700 euros? I just can't decide. I'm still doing a round. Everyone else is doing nothing wrong with the MT-07.

The test bike was provided to us by Motorrad-Ruser in Haseldorf.
