I was able to get a good deal on a 2022 Yamaha XSR700. Made a deposit and was approved by Yamaha Financing - 2.99% for 36 months(!). This is a fly and ride. I bought my plane ticket this evening and will be flying to pick up my precious in South Dakota next Thursday. I will be taking the long way home through Nebraska and Colorado before hitting the Panhandle.
I am very excited about the bike. I wanted something fun but capable with the ability to carry someone once in a while. I had my eyes on Triumph for the longest time but I just couldn't bring myself to getting one. I looked at Ducati as well - their Scrambler is fun but maintenance costs were a big turn off. Plus I am very excited about doing a fly and ride. Nothing like a road trip to get acquainted with a new bike.
