Sold my 2012 gsa for a 2016 Xr se sport. In my opinion a far better bike loved my gsa but the xr is unbelievable

Test ride one first at speed, the XR is so Ffing loud even on standard exhaust it drives some crazy.
Especially me I hate it purely for the constant booming noise, everything else about it is almost the perfect roadbike

Up to you, test ride one, choose which you like
Thanks all

Get proper earplugs then. Mine with a full Akra was spot on, and I never had a problem with the noise.
My earplugs are just fine thanks
Mine was a great bike but not stable at speed and for me little fun under 100 MPH
The new XR is too quiet for my taste...The old one had more power in the middle,the new one on top.
Ride also the 1250GS and then decide which one you like better ! For me the 1250 killed the lust for the XR because all it has is more top-end and a better working electronic shifter I never use on the GS...My thoughts...

Does that mean you do not like the XR or are you getting a GS as well. I like my XR but I am lucky and also have a R100gs so cover lots of options. GS for Norfolk's mud covered lanes (read local "Roads") XR anywhere there is decent tarmac.
See how it goes need to put some miles on it but do love the handleing on the gs

Stick with it get a thousand miles in and get used to it. I thought I’d made a mistake when I changed from the GS. Now in my opinion unless you want to do green lanes the XR out performs a GS in every department. Could never go back.
Nice to hear mate

I traded for an 1250rs, best of both worlds for me. Being “vertically challenged” even on a low frame XR I felt stretched, the new one is pretty much the same. 1250RS is much more manageable, handles well and doesn’t let it self down on performance until over 130 where legally allowed. Variety is the spice of life !
