what windscreen is that?

I live in Australia and bought a 22 Tricity 300 no-foot brake fitted, a very neat plate covers the place where it is supposed to be. The dealer said the foot brake is not fitted in Australia. Yamaha must have changed the braking system for Australian models as the brakes work well on both hand levers. The braking system is good can't see any need for a foot brake. Been riding all types of bikes for over 60 years. I don't use the stand-alone when riding I use it for push parking only.

Must be the year for ferry rides. We are taking the 13 hour ferry to Newfoundland and spending 2 weeks there. Travelling to Newfoundland we plan for rain, hope you stay dry. What a amazing place to visit, have a good safe trip.

Guys, are engines still reliable as in the old good times?

i hear the 2024 is not same compatoable pannier racks ; ditto any crash bars !!

Excellent vid..! I've a black sapphire metallic Z4 2.2i 2005, and it's certainly been looked after by myself...! Timeless cars i say for sure.

Hey what bodykit is this? Care sharing

That look is simply brilliant! I love my 2003 but that relatively simple update is awesome. I have two questions: 1. does the front bumper HAVE to come off or did you already have it off for some other reason/repair? 2. I feel like my headlights have always been weak compared to other cars since I bought it (brand new)…Zenons were an option but pretty rare back then and cannot be retrofitted. Do these new lights seem brighter to you when driving at night or pretty much the same?

The Best XSR700 review on YT.

I hate those LCD digital displays... Cheap and boring looking, like looking at a calculator screen. I love the circular analogue traditional speedometers

Hope it doesn't rain.

Thanks mate, just bought this cover for my new lay z spa arriving tomorrow. Great video thats built me with confidence!

Great review I have a 21 model takes a while to get used to using the stand assist you definitely need to make sure the bike is level when taking of I fired the lower seat makes a big difference but i get 85+ mpg most of the time it looks wide but it's great for filtering mirror to mirror tips its the same width as my vespa gts300 have ridden motorcycles from 1970 90cc to 1400cc still have bmw r850r new model bsa 650 but this is a perfect urban touring machine

I think your doing the right thing it’s a great piece of mind when riding 👍😀 I’m going to get one thanks mate I’d rather be hot than have a broken back ect

i forgot to get back to you, i did buy a cbf and the handling transformed my riding, i love it.

I have ordered 2 sets of headlight assemblies for my z4 and both were not correct. Where did you order yours from? Those are the ones I need. Thanks.

You said get on 2 wheels, 3 wheels

For tricity users: how this bike behave against sustained strong winds and gusts? Also what about the grip on wet roads? I want to buy one but not sure yet, either this or nmax.

Do you not need to take a CBT before riding this trike?

Hi i got same boat same ramp i attach to the tow bar with 20ft strap and wind the jockey all the way down and it comes off and on much much easier as it hits the water parallel .Just a thought, boat looks great .

Have had one a year now. Such fun to ride comfy and fairly quick for a heavy beast. My advice would be to take it easy and learn the stand assist first. It can catch you out and many have dropped stand assisted trikes on all brands. When you are coming to a stop, light comes on to say stand assist can be activated. Its usually as your feet are already down as bikes nearly stopped and you can arm it without putting feet down but takes practice. When you are stopped and stand assist armed and you have your feet up, make sure your on levelish ground and its straight as it will lunge a bit towards the lean if its armed and on a bit of a slope. I dont tire of riding mine as its such fun. Did a 200 mile ride and no aches and pains after.

my Concours 14 the best bike ever owned does everything compfy and quick fast agile long legs 500 miles one day easy live at tail of dragon in NC twisties look it up it keep up with sport bikes while they try to leave me in dust NO NO - they say damn your fast.

Thanks

Please where I can buying bmw z4 parts ?

Hi great video, I didn't know about the cables. Do you know the model and length of that exhaust and how's it doing so far ? In contemplating getting the same for the exact bike, any sound or power gains idling issues etc 😊

Please launch this to Indian market

What kind of jacket are you wearing?

Great review. Am considering the Vulcan S Performance alongside the Honda Rebel 500 (which my son has just bought, and it sounds amazing!)

Thanks for the video.I have Tricity since 30 of March. It is a good bike. But the Vertical Station Assistance is gadget, ONLY useful when you stop on a parking to go by feet, or at home. Other else, at a stop line or red light or traffic jam, I do not use it anymore. I used to. Why I do not use it? I noticed 2 problems. First : you can only activate VSA @ 10km/h or less. It is at the limit of the equilibrium with such a weight (240kg only for the bike). When you attempt to reach this speed (or less) you play left/right/left/right/left... etc... with the handlebar, because it becomes hard to be balanced. Second: when you activate (or disactivate) VSA, the beep is really too loud! This really a nightmare. For sure, everybody look at you, even in their cars! Yamaha should allow modification of level of this feature. I will soon disconnect it! The orange witness light is enough to remind us it is activated. Be AWARE, for people who are going to TEST this bike, when you are still, with VSA engaged and start again on your way, HOLD very FIRMLY your handlebar, because YOU are the MASTER of the bike, and not the opposite. If you don't hold very firmly, the bike will go in the direction where the two front wheels are "looking at"! Your wheels are NEVER perfectly looking 100% straight in front of you. There are always a few degrees of dissymmetry. AND THOSE DEGREES will make the bike to go where it wants! I saw some people trying it for first time, and they got some fears when starting with VSA engaged! Some place for storage are missing under the cockpit ;-) but under the seat, there is enough space, hopefully. I sold my Fazer 600 2001 for this scooter. I am happy with it. I don't drive a bike anymore, I "dance" with it !

I want to ride a bike and I'm a bit scared is this a good option since it has 3 wheels?

I appreciate your audio quality immensely. It's really pleasant to listen to a reviewer with a good voice and good information.

I have a 23 reg and the front brakes are fantastic. It's the combined braking that requires a lot of pressure on the lever.

Just leave that MT07 alone how do you know he got licence or not! Lol😂

Someone can just unbuckle the straps and take the bag with them 0 security.

Why the annoying background music? What's the point of it?

Hi, great video. Did you re-align the halos? I am fitting them now to my Z4 E85 3.0i but live in France so need to re-align to meet EU requirements.Any ideas or links would be very helpful.

Did you sort it out in the end mate

Thabks. Subscribed. Do you know what made them break to begin with

Your fitting looks quite tight. I got it at an official dealer and they said you need to be able to put a whole fist between you chest and the vest.

Gear box does loosen up. Mine is as smooth as silk. As for the sound, stick an aftermarket exhaust on it and it transforms it into a growling beast.

Cool ✨✨

It’s a good idea to figure it out before you post the video, this way it doesn’t make you look silly. The connection on the end of the hose is a pull back, push on and release,,, not screw on!! (Made me laugh a little,, but no disrespect). When fitting the feet, the face the other way round and other way up, either hose facing away from you. 😊👍🏻

Great review! I realize that this is 3 years ago, but I'm considering buying one here in Canada. I'm deciding between it and the ST1300. Want a balance between a fun bike to ride and comfort for my wife on behind. Do you have any experience with the ST as well?

Nice videos mate! Time for FAQ 😂: did you get change for those test ride?

im buying mine on thursday!

where is the best place to get insurance for it as looking to get one

Yes top boxes fall off because they are designed with minimal attachments and placed right on the perfect spot to give maximum leverage. They are almost designed to fail.

Riding a gixxer through Monaco😂 I love it bro👍

Never listen to these clowns. They're the same lot who manage to make tyres last 15,000 miles. They love to hate on middleweights and call them 'beginners' bikes and they absolutely NEED 1000cc+ then you ride with them and see that they never rev the thing above 6000rpm ( and that's being generous ). Honestly you'd skin them on an MT07 if the roads anything other than dead straight.

What made it worse was the box was sliding towards an on coming vehicle ,making the impact effect even greater . I find these top box plate rubber cushions tend to lose their tension between mounting plate & top box base ,making the boxes rattle loose . Also that added to any wear that’s occurred over all the miles on the catch & reviver plate , can cause the box to suddenly fly off. One of my top boxes on one of my bikes is a GIVi & the other one is Chinese budget one that cost a third of the price . The cheap Chinese box is made out of the same material as the Givi & the lock & latch about as good . The mounting plate was also pretty much the same ,the only difference being the little rubber mounting cushions that stop the box rattling weren’t as big or dense as the ones on the Givi plate . I reckon these top boxes & plastic mounting plates are all made in China ,even the ones with GiVi & Shad on them .
