Ultimate Superbike Shootout: Comparing The Best Of The Best – Adventure riders and trainers say it’s important to wear shoes that protect your feet and ankles if you’re going off-trail, especially on tough terrain where you’re likely to fall. The best shoes withstand the impact and twisting forces that can cause injury while driving. The answer has often been heavy-duty motocross boots, which provide reliable protection from bumps and turns, but sacrifice handling feel, off-bike mobility, and (most importantly) visibility. Big, bulky, difficult to walk in, and stiff are typical characteristics of “safety” adventure boots for harsh conditions.
. Touratec’s Destino Ultimate GTX is a very high quality, incredibly durable and comfortable ADV shoe.

Designed with foot and ankle protection technology the company calls the Dynamic Support Frame. Think of it as a knee brace, restricting the movement of the leg and preventing the ankle and foot from twisting violently. Calf supports, injection-molded ankle cups, and stabilizer frames not only reduce potential joint injuries, but also help support the horse better while standing.

Experienced adventure riders and trainers are right – off-road shoes called “ADV boots” just don’t compare. The
The boots are a unique combination of comfort, safety and style that adventure travelers need for multi-day trips to remote locations.
They were comfortable and had a confidence-inspiring interface between foot and wheel, so they weren’t meant for a quick trip to the farmer’s market or a weekend trip to a mountain eddy. They are much more bootleg than that, so consider that
This is partly due to their large size. It’s difficult to wear anything but the roomiest ADV pants over hard shell shins, reducing the wardrobe an ADV rider can choose from. The

The lacing system is certainly convenient, but the length of the laces makes it difficult to tighten the shoe from the bottom to the top.
A price tag out of reach for all but the most hardened adventure riders. But if you want the best protection in a pack that’s perfect for rough terrain and multi-day rides sprinkled with ADV styling, there are plenty of options.
Like tires for our feet, adventure shoes are as wide and varied as the rubber we put on our tires. While the technically skilled rider leans…

Judging by the rating, it looks like a very positive review, but I can’t make out the text on the MCN.
The new M4 (a friend of mine has one) makes 425 hp, but dyno testing shows a slight drop at 400 hp.
I bought the newsstand app on my iPad for 2.99. Good read. Even with MCN hype.

Also I remember a TTSL dyno that reported 200hp at the crank…what could be better than speed…

Biggest I’ve ever had. information is that the direct air box has a huge effect, explaining that the bike has a speed of 200 rpm, but the bike has a speed of 230 ps above 10000 rpm.
Maybe that’s why the bike is faster on straights – IT HAS MORE HORSEPOWER, which is needed to increase top speed. Yes, other bikes also have ram air, but their air systems are not as efficient.

This is an old thread so you may not get a reply and may be reviving an old thread. Consider creating a new thread. Others drip with nostalgia. If you draw a Venn diagram of these two paradigms, you’ll find the Yamaha XSR900 GP in the middle of the intersection.
The Yamaha XSR900 GP melted our servers (and lit up our comment section) when it first debuted in October last year. Inspired by Yamaha’s famous racing heritage, the Yamaha TZR250 and YZR500 OW01 pay homage to iconic bikes re-engineered on the modern, three-cylinder XSR900 platform. And its retro sports bike base makes it one of the coolest factory bikes on the market right now.
But does the Yamaha XSR900 GP look as good as it does in the photos? Isn’t it all a show? What are the Portuguese beaches like at this time of year? I went to the coastal town of Ericeira at Yamaha’s invitation.

While my peers and I overindulged on fresh seafood, fine wines and gourmet desserts, we sampled some of the region’s best back roads and even snapped photos of the famous Estoril race circuit. But we caught up with the people behind the development of the XSR900 GP and learned about its incredible story.
If the heritage segment of motorcycling is fashion, then the Yamaha XSR900 GP takes its place in that space by prioritizing performance without compromising on style. It’s a tiny needle with a thread, making the XSR900 GP one of the most powerful OEM releases in years.
The story begins eight years ago, when Yamaha product manager James McComb sat down for his first interview with the Japanese brand. When asked what he would build if given the chance, his answer was a version of the XSR platform that would represent and legitimize Yamaha’s racing pedigree.
Side of the sports heritage label. But turning this concept into a fully-identified motorcycle comes with compromises, too

The XSR900 GP project has survived a global pandemic that has stalled twice and limited communication between Yamaha’s global team, split between Europe and Japan. Workarounds were needed, such as canceling out the design using 3D rendering instead of an experienced, authentic modeling clay method. And then there was the usual internal tension that comes from trying to paint outside the lines without blowing the budget.
It’s easy to forget that factory motorcycles take a lot of time to develop, and that they are designed, designed, and designed by real people. Product managers undoubtedly have the toughest jobs. They need to look into a crystal ball that doesn’t exist and predict what the industry will look like in a few years, and then they need to gather a team around them and convince the powers that be.
It takes vision and moxie to bring a bike like the Yamaha XSR900 GP to market. The arrival of this bike at the height of the sportbike revival of the 80s and 90s is a testament to the commitment of Mr. McComb and the designers, engineers and test riders who worked on the project.
The GP hits all the right notes while striking a balance between modern and retro while harkening back to the golden years of motorcycle racing. Despite the poor weather during my short time in Portugal, the bike shone in the daylight. All the details I had when I first saw the picture were now turned up to eleven (twelve, when the sun finally broke through the clouds).

Adapted to the “standard” Yamaha XSR900, the GP model swaps out the platform’s black frame paint for silver, accentuating the bike’s Deltabox-like chassis. The new body sits up; half-wheels with bolt-on wind deflectors, new side panels and a box-shaped rear cover covering the rear seat. Those
