Mossy is such a talent in front of a camera. Love the work boys.
Listen! There can never be enough Mossy.
@Michael Tee I disagree, of by "English" you mean "English", then this man6, as much as anyone, speaks English 👍
@Michael Tee He speaks ACTUAL English not your foreign version ......
@Michael Tee are you special needs?
This is the 3rd or 4th Brit review of this bike i've watched.
It is comfortably the best.
And funniest.
Why?
Chris Moss.
Legend.
‘That’s because I left the womb as a midget’ 😂
I'll be honest: I skipped many of the recent videos, but I never miss one with Mossy!
Always enjoy your participation on this channel Mossy ..
Picked mine up Saturday absolutely love it the adaptive suspension and cruise control are a game changer for me I found it very comfortable.
Is the e suspension just on the front? Is it not annoying to have to do preload on the back by hand?
How tall are you? Neevesy review for MCN said it wasnt comfortable and too much wind buffeting for taller riders, what would your opinion be of this?? Cheers!
I live in Georgia, USA and my dealer still has not received the one I ordered.
What’s your opinion on the overall power? I’m coming from a 2019 cb1000r.
I’m curious if you looked at the Versys 1000? And if so what made you choose the tracer? Obviously the tracer has it beat on price.
Yet more solid work from mighty Mossy!!! 👊😎
This looks like the perfect replacement for my old Tracer 700. Nice review. No nonsense honesty. Love it!
Yes 🙌 mossy and the tracer review, been looking forward to this! Top work lads.
Chris "Johan Zarco" Moss
Cheers Mossy always an entertaining view 👍
1st time I've seen Mossy without a hat on. And my 1st thought was put one on quick man!
That was f@#king hilarious towards the end there with Mossy🤣🤣 brilliant
Nice review, cheers Mossy!
Hope the rally went well Al.
I rented this in Utah for an awesome weekend. Im a sport bike rider so this was a first and i was delighted!
Really good to see these bike reviews done in the UK rather than abroad somewhere makes it more realistic and you’ve got to love Mossey
Great review! Seems a great bike too!
Pretty clear Mossy loves this thing!
So glad you’re still including Mossy !
Editing and photography is smashing. So well done
I ASKED AND YOU DID IT!!!
i've been waiting for this bike to land in AUS for close to a year. Delays after delays. This video reinforces my confidence in my purchase
Mossy rocks, great review sir. I was this close to ordering this machine but went with the multi 950s due to dealer proximity. Great looking, practical bike, with Yamaha reliability makes this one a winner.
Mossy needs to be part of the next BBB!
Listen. I could listen to mossy aaaall day. Great review. Top job👍
How have I not seen one of this fellas videos before?! Love it!
Barmouth toll bridge (50p for bikes) and the Ogwen valley - lovely
Been to both myself this week - lovely
Penmaenpool Bridge 👍🏻
My dad as the 2019 version. It ticks all the boxes when it comes to sport touring. Such a great bike
Really enjoyed my previous FJ-09. Had a few items on the wish list. Reckon they’ve addressed every one. Bet this is lovely to ride.
Best review I've seen/heard in a long time.
I test road the last model spankingly good bike loved it. Cracking real world review by the legend Mossy!!✊🏻
Just came across this, made my day!. What a man this Mossy is, burst out laughing so many times!
Got to be honest - I’m sure the journalist fraternity may not be impressed with this comment but… I’m appreciative of these UK road tests. They are in the words of Mossy - more real world!
Love the 44Teeth personality!
I did a testride this year on the old regular tracer 900. Man I loved the bike. Super comfortable but the way you sit on the bike makes it feel like a big supermoto and combined with the engine it still has the hooligan factor. Fell in love but was a little too expensive unfortunately.
7:24 ... wow, Nick Sanders!!! I remember his around the world trip on a Triumph Daytona back in about 1998ish (would have to check the exact details on the intergugel) and I would have loved to met him when he came to my city (Perth, Western Australia) but I wasn't able to do it unfortunately.
I lack knowledge to say its the ultimate sports tourer but I have owned mine since June of 2022 and what I CAN honestly state is that this bike is an absolute blast in the twisties! It took me a couple months to get my skills back after being out of street bikes for many years (long ago I did a lot of twisty miles on Honda Interceptor and Suzuki GSXR then had to switch to MX to make my wife let me continue riding) But once I got my confidence back man this bike is really quite the canyone carver! AND it ihas been wonderful for many thousands of miles of light day touring of 200 to 250 miles typically. I am even vine with both the seat and the windscreen. And I never notice the "cartoon face" of the dash unless I think of it talking to someone about my bike. I ride it hard enough the OEM tires were gone by 2500miles in case you doubt I am seriously riding it....plus in the canyons I am only getting maybe 32 mpg as opposed to 50 on the highway or at least sometimes 50 depending on who I am riding with. I think the suspension is great but I would like better brakes honestly. I also would enjoy but absolutely have no need of more power ....It is quite fast honestly but I keep thinking massive power could be entertaining but idk....I mean it does not loft simply twisting the thrittel like I suspedt a 70 pound lighter MT09 might? Or various full on liter sports bikes might? Or big twin sportsbikes like ktm 1290s or such?
Always top value with Mossy 👍. That lovely English town from which you set out is actually Tam'th if you're local 😉
Currently on a '16 FJ-09 (Tracer 900 if you're not from the US) and this is making me want to upgrade quite badly
Been riding 50 years all types of bikes , some with over 170 hp, but my tracer 9 gt beats them all , wish I could afford the new one , great info Mossi 😊🤓👍
7:30 Corris craft centre, used to live in the row of houses behind there that was strange seeing that in a video😂
I ha e the 2019 GT Tracer and recently done Wales, I loved Wales and although its not my usual type of bike I have really gelled with the Tracer. I've had mine mapped a full Exhaust system with decat and a good set of tyres and it's a completely different bike. I absolutely love it. I can raise long distances and be a absolute hooligan when I want to , its a great versatile tool. I'm not sure if I could Trade it in for the T9 it would have to be something very special in deed.
Great to see Mossy.
That looks like a fantastic bike. Looks good, sounds good, and does it all. If i ever get tired of naked bikes, this would be on the short list for sure
Mossy reviews are the best, chats a bit of knowledgeable shit! If he says something is good it is !!
I've been to Tamworth Chris,
I feel your pain fella...
🤣 🤣🤣
The clocks look like Johnny 5 from Short Circuit lol
Nice review Mossy!
Personally I thought it was more like Alf!
Yes most definitely Johnny five 🙏
That's absolutely a + though right
What shitty scenery, it's so shitty that I moved there last year to retire. I run the previous iteration of this bike, good to see it's evolution, I've liked Yamahas since my '78 RD400. Great review too Mossy.
Mossy is your best Bike reviewer, but your all the best I have ever seen
Mossy is the original straight talking Geordie.. love it!!
Love mossy's reviews
awwww, the bromance at the end
Glad Yamaha ditched the OE Dunlops of the previous GT, what I own. Never experienced tyres that slipped and slid around in the wet so much ever before, which ruined all confidence in anything other than perfectly dry conditions. In Scotland? Hate the split clocks, suspension upgrades are never a bad thing. Would be interested to try one oot.
Would love to know how you think it compares to the F900XR that you also loved.
44 teeth doing a review on my favourite bike. Christmas has come early
Yet another hilarious video. I watched your review on KTM and the left and right game through Feckin Banbury pmsl You needed a she'ight then too. Funny as! That bird that tripped over her own fanny :) :)
I watched this and I bought one same colour.its a fantastic bike practical corners well carry luggage ticks all the boxes and grinds the pegs for a good scratch
Absolutely love Mossy’s reviews. But PLEASE switch on the image stabilization or fix it in post, the constant jittering is making me seasick.
Please give Mossy a hypersmooth GoPro or DGI. Great review as always, Mossy!
Oh don’t worry. He’s getting one!
I love a Mossy video! I’m surprised he didn’t complain about the goofy Groucho Marx face that the clocks present. 🥸
God damn it 44 teeth! Another to stick on my 'maybe I should buy that instead of saving for a house' motorbike list
Could be my next bike, need to test ride one as finding my Gs just too tall & heavy.
Great review thanks 👍
Mossy, would love your thoughts on the Ducati MTS 950S in comparison to this bike. Thanks lad.
I’ve just found Mossy and subscribed..original is all I can think of! What’s your thoughts of this vs Tiger Gt Pro? Next year I’m looking for an upgrade / replacement…touring.. weekend fun..
Can you stop telling people we have very good motorcycle roads here in Wales please. We sick of the non welsh weekend warriors crashing their bikes here bringing the old bill out in force when us locals want to go playing at warp speeds in the twisties . Taaaaaa
I've got no relevant comment except, thanks for using Ta for your thank you. I've been in the US for 40+ years and remember fondly my Welsh grandparents using it. Brought me back quite a bit. Good luck with the po-po!
That’s a tasty looking bike and if it’s giving Sir Mossey the horn it must be alright 🏍💨💨 lol
Another ace video from Mossy! Ps. Why only one spot light on?
Will we see Budget Bike Battle back on this year?
Keep up the good work 44T
So, there's a Tamworth in Wales...
The home of country music in America, is Nashville.
The home of Country Music in Australia, is Tamworth.
Tamworth is at one end of the Oxley Highway, which goes from central NSW over the ranges to the coast (about Port Macquarie) and it's one of the greatest rider's roads in the world. Every kind of corner or straight or road conditions you've ever imagined, not to mention scenery, you can find in that hundred km or so of road. You ride one end of the Oxley to the other in a spirited manner, and you know everything worth knowing about that motorcycle. So, going to Tamworth on a new sports tourer as a test, that's got a very familiar feel about it to an Australian.
I didn't understand the word this man spoke but strangely somehow I watched the video.
Looking at getting myself one of these lovelies, has to be the GT Though 👍
Is there a chance we will see the Kawasaki Z1000SX on this channel? In the past we saw the GSXS1000F and now the Tracer 9 GT, I think the Z1000SX could be a good comparison as far as Sport Tourers go.
Mossy…. You’re the best!!!! Cheers from VA Beach
What a character😂
Great review!!
What route is this, done most of Wales I thought but some new ones in this one... Cracking video lads!
Lake Vyrnwy is in there, so assume around that area. Some cracking roads round there.
Holding out for the 2023 Tracer 9GT + with single TFT screen.
Welcome back Mosssyyyyyyyy!!!!
Still has one massive problem , soon as you buy one they will announce the MT 10 tracer , was rumours of it in 2019 so if they have an ounce of brains its imminent
Yeah except you’ll spend much more time filling it up with juice then you would with 9 gt 👍🏻
@@wombal177jim I heard the mt 10 is bad on fuel but can it be that different ? just sold my 2019 KTM 1290 super adventure , was getting 54 mpg Oo
@@Edgunsuk thanks that very decent but I just can’t see Yamaha making the MT 10 into any kind of touring machine don’t get me wrong I think it’s an awesome bike 👍🏻
Cool dash display! Looks like a scuba mask
Love everything about it except for the one eye headlight and the Groucho Marx dash.
Love the Bike very much, but still hate the Single low Beam Headlight, they obviously have never ridden in Australia at night covering our country back roads, needs to be a way to engags both lights on Low Beam. thanks for the review.
From John 🍺🍺🏍🏍😎👍
I’m thinking of getting one of these or a bmw f900xr , you say it’s a bit tall but how tall are you and what’s your inseam ? I’m 5ft8” with 29” inseam and the bmw lowered is perfect for me but lacks a bit of excitement, so if a tracer with a lowering link on is low enough , it seems to have the excitement the bmw lacks so may be a better option ? Please help me decide cos I’m torn !
Love Mossy. Bought a GSX650F purely on his review
I wish they made a tracer with the MT10/R1 engine, I've got the MT10 and it's alright for touring but I'd love something a little bigger with some decent wind protection.
And more than 100 miles worth of fuel range!
Sound like the Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX is the bike for you then 😉
there are rumours about the next 10 being more adventurous, but no idea how credible those rumours are.
Been saying for a while they need to make a new super tenere with the cp4 to go up against the MS v4
Today I part exchanged my MT10 SP for this bike 😃
Having just moved to this from the 2018 Tracer GT I can’t help but agree with Mossy - although I find the panniers super practical, so can forgive them their shape.
I loved my old GT and rode some pretty epic adventures, so it’s clearly a very competent bike. The new GT however is very different and a worthy successor; in my opinion. As mentioned in the video, Yamaha had an already fantastic bike and took it to the next level.
Looks are completely subjective, so whilst I personally like the styling, it’s a bit irrelevant for me to say so.
Over all, I could say I’m glad I changed to the new GT, but that’s not strictly true. I was very happy with my old GT, so in truth, I’m actually just glad that this bike hasn’t been a disappointment. That would have been a bitter pill to swallow. The fact that Yamaha have taken many aspects of the old bike to the next stage of development is merely a billy-bonus that I’m happy to take.
Did I really have to change? Probably not. Am I glad I did? Yep.
@@bennyhughes1120 I’ve found the stock saddle to be comfy (for me at least) up to 6-hours of continuous riding. The comfort seat on my 2018 GT was comfy on my endurance rides up to 26-hours straight; by which time fatigue was my limiting factor rather than comfort. So, I now have the comfort seat on order for the new GT.
I don’t do two up riding so can’t comment on that I’m afraid.
@@bennyhughes1120 No worries 👍
@@bennyhughes1120 My 68 year old wife who's had a knee replacement finds our 2017 Tracer 900 " at least as comfortable" as our previous BMW R1200 RT. Several trips to Spain have been a good test.
@@bennyhughes1120 Welcome! Forgot to say to add to my own comfort a Sargent rider's seat has been fitted and a Givi touring screen. I don't know how necessary these would be on the new version?
A great review of a good bike, shame about the lop sided light, why cant both be on?
Mossy, nice review. What is your inseam?
I am looking to replace a 2017 r1200gs with a more sporty and fun bike that can still do touring, commuting, and occasional 2 up, in your opinion, should this be a contender?
What's the throttle response on this model like? Still snatchy as MT09 was? I had 2015 tracer 09 for 3 years and sold it for that effing snatchiness of the throttle. sometimes it would be rideable but sometimes it would get so bad it was taking a lot of fun of riding away ;/ you start the day, it rides fine for half an hour but then something flicks and it's snatchy again. or one day it's fine, another it's terrible. I've got a 765RS now and the throttle response is unbelievably smooth comparing to the MT09. and I have to admit mine had the ECU fine tuned which made it better but far away from what I'd consider acceptable. the engine in overall is much MUCH better in the MT09 comparing to the street triple in my opinion. both sound and flexibility.
I was thinking about a gen 1 XR which would you go for ? Tracer or s1000xr ?
Andy Capp chunters and swears his way through a wet road test of a middleweight sports tourer? Brilliant Review of what looks to be the perfect bike for an old bugger like me 😂👍😂👍 .... Subscribed 😎. Incidentally, if Mr Moss reads this ... Tiger Sport 1050 or Tracer9 GT ???
Does the hoist roll in to lift Mossy off the bike when the camera stops
Top bloke riding what sounds like a top bike.
How smooth is the QS? Does it have cruise?
good content as usual, hope mossey got his shite
I was going to get last year's model but tried it for a few hours and just didn't get on with it. I kept my old 2007 GS.
Enjoyable review, aside from the onboard cam and mic which were absolute pants
I see Mossy, i click. Make it a t-shirt!
Mossy is a gem
Sorry ... I took 44 toofs other advice and I ordered a KTM 1290R ! :)
It arrives next week.
( nothing like a good shite .. haha )
Versus the Ninja 1000SX?
Mossy, what a hero
