Took the XSR700 into work today so effectively first commute ride.
That thing is so low, it's like a kids PW50!
I am not tall at 5ft10.5 but feel like a giant on it.
I need to jack it up by 50mm and get the rear shock changed as it is appalling. Also new lower bars would help so could get the XSR900 ones.
The throttle response is not great, you need nearly a full turn to get full throttle. Definitely need to change that to the R6 throttle (apparently an easy mod). That and the air filter. And full exhaust. And remap.
Hold on, we're probably going to need a bigger bike
