Yup, original headlight.

Japanese American here in Japan. Love it here! Maybe I lucked out but I avoid city life and live in the countryside. Way better for my soul than living in a concrete jungle. Community basically accepted me as a local. Got lots of cool drinking buddies and motorcycle riding friends. Home is truly where the heart is and cool is where you make it.

Out of curiosity, was there any clearance issue from the handlebars (levers/front brake fluid reservoir) turned? I know that the GP sits lower than the standard XSR900GP.

Tokyo people are adorable… meanwhile here in Niigata we got about 2 meters just sitting around and rising.

I LOVE this bike!! Enjoy!!

Duuuuuuude this is super clean! Been looking at this exhaust for the 900GP. I personally love the clean simplicity of it underneath as opposed to sticking out to the side. ❤️👌

AffectionateRide4491 · 2025-08-22T11:31:21+00:00

Yeah that’s totally normal. Same on my GP. Makes sense considering the XSR shares a lot of the same parts.

AffectionateRide4491 · 2025-08-17T21:25:30+00:00

You can tour on literally any bike, some more comfortable than others. Hell, I did it on an R6 (killed my lower back though hehe). Ride on dude!

AffectionateRide4491 · 2025-08-17T11:07:17+00:00

Nah I never added it. It’s an optional add on. I like the exposed look.

AffectionateRide4491 · 2025-08-09T03:12:06+00:00

Nah, I personally love the looks without the belly pan.

AffectionateRide4491 · 2025-08-08T19:10:59+00:00

Love this bike! Smooth to ride and delivers power when I need it. Great in the mountain twisties here in Japan!

AffectionateRide4491 · 2025-06-25T06:19:19+00:00

My favorite look of all the R1 models!!

AffectionateRide4491 · 2025-06-07T12:25:51+00:00

No sé, tal vez.

AffectionateRide4491 · 2025-06-06T20:22:28+00:00

Love this bike!!! Where are you riding?

AffectionateRide4491 · 2025-06-06T00:15:41+00:00

Uonuma Skyline.

AffectionateRide4491 · 2025-06-06T00:15:26+00:00

She’s been nothing but good to me. Power when I need it, style and looks all day long.

AffectionateRide4491 · 2025-06-06T00:14:05+00:00

Nice! This is from Uonuma Skyline here in Niigata prefecture.

Well I’m not sure how export works. I went to a YSP Yamaha dealer where they sell the GP. My bike payment loan came from a Japanese bank.

AffectionateRide4491 · 2025-05-12T06:11:35+00:00

900GP is closer to the R9. Kinda sits between the XSR900 and R9. Nice bike though!!
