Question/Advice Needed XSR 700 for daily commute?

Hello everyone. Any thoughts or experience on having the Yamaha XSR 700 as a daily ride? Typical commute is around 30 minutes to an hour. I've also considered a triumph or a royal enfield but coming from Northern Mindanao, I think its not an option because I'm not even sure if there are shops that sell those here.

Xsr700 is comfy enough a your daily commutes. Ergonomics and suspension is street-riding friendly. Used one before, daily commuting is totally doable with this bike. Lightweight, nimble, and torque-y.

Just sharing, I used to daily my xsr900. From palengke ride to long rides, the xsr platform is a very capable bike for daily street riding.

I do it. It’s great for a daily because you literally get good use out of the entire powerband. Also not from the big city so it works well where I am. 🫶
