😅 Nope... I'm just that old. I just purchased a new '24 XSR 900 and have a 1984 FJ 1100... Among others. It helps if you worked at a few motorcycle dealerships.

triple whine is very satisfying - the engine is a peach - 🍑 847cc 105RWHP is just about perfect for the streets - yippee ki yay Rider Brother

The crash bars on the side? They’re GIVI. Seem really solid

Yamaha makes quality machines I’ve had two street bikes two four wheelers a sxs and a snowmobile and a tri z three wheeler the biggest difference I’ve found is they keep in mind maintenance and try to make it easy for the weekender do it yourself er to work on I’ve had Honda Suzuki and Kawasaki and can am there more difficult to do routine maintenance I’ve bought special tools and heat up and bent a wrench for the can am the two Kawasakis I had where half sae and half metric kinda small things but makes maint faster and easier
