I hired a Tracer 900 for a few days in the Algarve a number of years back - it was quick, dangerously so!

@davewash50 Ай бұрын

A nice short and sharp review of what looks like a good bike Rich. Very slick clothes change in the video too!! Thank you

@mikereeder4337 Ай бұрын

Switch the rain mode off; you're getting soaked! Quick, engage sun mode!

@David-th2ug Ай бұрын

I've watched about a dozen reviews on this bike. Yours has concentrated on riding it and so I found it the best. All the others concentrated on the tech above actually what an experience it is to ride. Nice to know I can take a slow bend in top and zoom out of it! Thanks.

Just back today from a 3800km 13 day trip Pyrenees, Seville, Portugal and picos on a 9gt a fab bike . Thanks for the video

Good to see you having some fun riding the Tracer 900GT+ , it is a good looking machine with some impressive tech( most of which I probably wouldn't use) however I do wish Yamaha would be more adventurous with the colours , gunmetal grey is just boring in the extreme.

Hi Richy, pretty new to your videos, first heard about you on Teapotone’s podcast, then watched your Morocco videos - really enjoyed those btw 👍. Looks like we live in the same area, I grew up in the Hope valley and now live in chesterfield. I have a Tracer 9 GT, awesome bike! Hopefully bump into you sometime 👍, cheers Sam.

Love my 900 gt. With an exhaust it's frugal on fuel - I average 60mpg. Can get 70 sitting on motorway. funnily the stock GT is more insurance than the GT+

Just done a 4000 mile trip on mine, love it apart from the seat which gets very hard after a few days riding.

@SouthWest-jj8yu Ай бұрын

Always liked the look of the bike but not the two TFT version that single screen is much better. I have the BMW Active Cruise Control and besides the usual thing with the car in front of you lean into a corner the cruise slows you down then speeds up again as you straighten up.

@NigelDilley Ай бұрын

The multistrada has radar cruise control also. It's really good for motorways and dual carriageways, and has radar at reat so has blind spot detection

@RichyVida Ай бұрын

Yes, I loved that when I had the Multi 👍

@IanTed Ай бұрын

Tried it and liked it apart from the looks and the hard seat, bought a Multi V2S, never regretted it and getting the V4 next time, maybe😉

How does the hi tech braking system know the road conditions ? Would it apply or override what you were doing on ice or slippery surface ?

@PureEvolution Ай бұрын

The CP3 Engine is a great engine and 19 liters still get some great miles out of that as mt09sp has 14 liters and i stretched that out over 220+ miles with 1.2 liter still in the tank just a shame they didnt do a off road version i would of stayed with Yamaha maybe

@Jonathan-yd8ud Ай бұрын

Not a fan of the tech at all. Rode a lot of modern new bikes with various systems and left me feeling cold and detached from the riding experience. I think manufacturers are really missing a trick by not offering old style bikes with analogue dials and just ABS (as it's a legal requirement) would be a ot cheaper also for people to buy. These modern bikes have become way to expensive also and not obtainable for most folk.

@RichyVida Ай бұрын

I agree about bikes becoming ridiculously expensive. 😵‍💫

@Splodge4514 Ай бұрын

Got my GT plus in October. It’s currently sitting in my garage collecting dust with only 450 miles on the clock. Only parked up whilst I rebuild the strength in my leg that I managed to break. As soon as I’m fit enough I will be out. It’s killing me seeing it just sitting there.

@boblynch7535 Ай бұрын

The auto braking would make me nervous on compromised road conditions. Gravel, dirt, wet, etc. What do you think?

No, like I mentioned, I didn’t feel any intervention at all.

@barney3417 Ай бұрын

Had mine a month ,2000 miles already , can't stay off it !!! not perfect, with all the tech no hill hold and seat is angled forward pushing your bits against the tank.. Got the seat flattened out and a Gel pad by Di at Chaos Customs in Swansea 500 miles in 2 days perfect now!!!65 MPG average so far but gauge is rubbish, shows full for about 125 miles then goes to half the reserve at 150 miles but when you fill it up it only takes 14 ltrs which means theres a gallon left!!!! but I forgive it that🥰

That cruise control with front vehicle relativity is ok until you're locked on to a knob driver.

Not sure why you would ever trust a petrol gauge on any motorcycle after that time you ran out of petrol in France ! I’ve never had a petrol gauge on a motorcycle and I’ve never run of gas. I have though run out of petrol in a car ! 🇬🇧

@MGman100 Ай бұрын

I've got the T9GT. Great engine, the sound is very addictive, good handling, very poor windscreen. Very poor finish, thin paint on the wheels in particular. After one winter (regular washing and ACF50) parts of the frame were going rusty, the shock was a mess and anodised parts showed corrosion. I probably won't buy another Yamaha but even if I was going to I would buy the GT over the GT+, way overpriced.

@dreamcrusher112 Ай бұрын

windscreen bad but a puig and an extender and it is great. Mine has 25k miles and 6yrs old, only rust is the brake disc bobbins. Too much salt where you are?

@MGman100 Ай бұрын

@dreamcrusher112 I use an MRA spoiler on my screen. At least there's no buffeting now. Salt on the roads in winter but my five year old Street Triple still looked like new.
