Thinking of upgrading to either a CB1000R or XSR900. Any thoughts on best option from my fellow bikers?

I (Mrs Red) have an XSR900 in Mars bar colours and love it.

Had a cb1000r before but the xsr is a far better bike x

Must admit I am swaying towards the xsr anniversary version ( yellow and black tank with gold forks).

I have the anniversary xsr900 and it’s brilliant, it’s good fun for a thrash about and also great for touring, I have full luggage for mine and did the NC500 this year on it.

I would say to get the full potential and make the bike smoother to ride it needs the ecu remapping which I had done and what a difference it’s made to an already great bike.

Hi. New to the form and first post but feel I may be able to offer some advice here. I’ve an R1, R6 and previously owned a blade. For the record I also have a Road King. That aside I’m a huge Yamaha fan so for me it would be the Yam over the Honda however I read you’ve just past your test. With that I would suggest looking at a 600 as both the yam and Honda would be brutal for you and as you’re still learning then the inevitable is going to happen and down the road it’s going. So my advice would be look at a nice second hand 600 and with the extra cash buy good gear. Once you’ve got experience of riding then go for the Yamaha every day. Enjoy and stay safe.

Older xsr900. The new ones look trash. Worst update going . The xsr 900 abarth would be my option. Love the style and the colour scheme.

At the same them the cbr1000 r neo .. beauty machine too better than the standard looks of the cbr 1000

I'd go XSR900 that's only because I have an MT09 and it rocks. Both on the road and track

XSR900 gorgeous Motor loads of bottom end grunt handles a treat, never ridden a CBR thou but would imagine it's far heavier to manoeuvre. Only got rid of my XSR only for health reasons. Best bike I've ever owned by far!!!
