I think it has a shot. The key to making it work will be to market it as a lifestyle choice, not just another motorcycle. If you make it Instagram worthy, they will come.

As a younger rider I’m stoked for the XSR300. It’s got style, it’s approachable and it won’t break the bank. What's not to love?

I believe it’s not fair to compare them with each other. The RD350 is the spirit that the XSR300 is trying to capture, not replicate. It's a modern interpretation for riders today with today's regulations.
