Buy a new liter bike like a zx10r or r1 or cbr1000rr or gsxr1000. Those liter bikes need their sales numbers up to keep the inline 4 engines alive. You will have a bigger blast on those too
I had one of the original FZR 600’s in the late 80’s in silver in black, very reminiscent. It looks fab but even though I’m late 50’s, the detailing on the Street Triple I have now is so much nicer than the Japanese bikes. Love that ally fairing stay with the cir-clips though
Love the concept, cracking engine with the right power, brilliant looks. This would be very cool to turn up and ride to bike night, or a track day. Don’t like the upper fairing brace, I never did on 90s GSXR or ZX6, and hope this is cosmetically removable. But overall, a big win. Goes in my lottery garage.
This will be less of a wherlie machine due to the longer swing arm but will be more stable at higher speeds, also a bit heavier... but the fairing would be very welcome. I have the gen3 MT09 SP but tbh I'd probably go for this over the gen4.
A stunning looking thing. It's a shame it's mass produced as many others will be in the car park. Ps A proper professional review from a guy that knows his stuff. No comedians or nonsense. Perfect👌
I was looking at the XSR900 last year, but a test ride told me the rear shock needed an upgrade. Have they fixed that on this model? BTW it needs a 3rd party to make a lower fairing, it looks like its been crashed at the moment. Also needs a tail tidy.
A great video of stating the obvious. Useful if it was targeted at the visually impaired. In summary, it's a retro looking sports bike. Got it. Thanks.
Great bike but here in NZ it's 4k more expensive than the standard XSR? The MT09sp is the one with the upgraded suspension & brake and 4k cheaper, I think Yamaha have stuffed up here by being too gready.
The amount of pre orders this bike has in the UK & Europe would suggest Yamaha have it spot on. The New Zealand market is relatively small in the grand scale of things.👍🏻
I have to start out by saying that I absolutely LOATHE "retro" bikes like the triumph twins, BSA etc. I lived through that era and 40,50 and 60 years' worth of development should not be ditched just so that a bike can supposedly "Look good". But this is a completely different animal. It may LOOK like a bike from the 80s and 90s but that hasn't resulted in using idiotic technology like twin shocks and large capacity engines which struggle to outperm engines half their size. I think that the only part of the aesthetic that I don't care for is the letter box headlight. which I've always thought look stupid and don't perform well either. And that brings me on to the other problem that I have with the design; no pillion! For someone who has a habitual pillion, not having the option is an absolute deal breaker for me. Sorry Yamaha. So very close, but no sale here, not even a test ride.
@@jamesmccombe1895 Yeah, I only saw that in about the 4th video I'd seen of the bike. What is really quite annoying is that there don't seem to be ANY videos of the bike without the cowling.
A nice little detail from that era that everyone has missed is you catch a glimpse of the silver subframe under rear seat. Well done Yamaha
I saw it.
At 37 I absolutely love it. I’ve not ridden for a few years but I’m tempted just to have one in the garage.
‼️‼️ Fast Bikes ….. my life growing up was a mass of performance Bikes & Fast Bike magazines strewn across my bedroom ‼️‼️
Haha me too! Superbike also
Pre Internet bike porn in magazine form.
Bravo Yamaha, i hope you can sell every one of these appealing machines that you can build.
You forgot to mention another Yamaha from the golden era Yamaha tzr ❤
Yes, yes, yes!!!!
And TDR - first bike after passing my test
Gawd Almighty...
This beautiful beastie reminds me a lot of my '85 FZ 750N! 👍👍
A bike we have been needing for years.
Bringing back memories of my fzr 600 race replica 30 odd years ago - drank more oil than petrol 🤣
Spot on, I had one too. Silver & black. Loved it & it had self cancelling indicators! In 1986
Stunning 👌
Yup
Really great review Bruce 👍🏻
The black one looks like something Robocop would ride.
Looks awesome i must say
That will be my next track bike if it ever comes to the states.
It also needs an exhaust that goes through or under the tail. 👌
Do yourself a favor and buy a proper track bike like an R6 or R1.

@@dwhxyzmaybe he wants a retro track bike?
I owned an 500 rz it ironed your ball bag going to get fuel for a ride
So much better with the silver frame!
I ordered mine last year...still looking at you tube...
So sad it's not coming to Canada 😢
I'd like it with a 2 stroke 500cc engine in it
Me too
Reminds me of the TZR 250, and being of a certain age, I prefer theTZR.

Very good review...cheers mate
This bike looks sick! Anyone see Eddie , Wayne and Kenny ?
in the marketing video you see wayne rainey yet this bike is not coming to the US
I prefer the black one.
It is the one to get.
The colour is "Power Grey"
Oh yeah... Conjures up, Mad Max vibes too. Except it's a Yamaha as opposed to a Kawi.
Too bad is longer, wheeliewise. Good looking though. Great detailed review. Kinda weird how Estoril was handled, it was more a photo shoot than a test
Longer good 👍, wheelies are easy just not as easy.
I don't like most new bikes
afterall i'm oldschool old
but i like this one....
Front reminds me of Ironman's face.
trx 850ish
great review by the way...well done

Fairing stays, are one of my favorite details. I think we'll see a dual-headlamp retro soon too. -hope so
What a sexy machine
It's tough to decide this or the MT-09 SP. XSR 900GP is a beautiful machine.
This will be less of a wherlie machine due to the longer swing arm but will be more stable at higher speeds, also a bit heavier... but the fairing would be very welcome.
I have the gen3 MT09 SP but tbh I'd probably go for this over the gen4.
The first new bike on a long time which is making my wallet twitch.

Out of curiosity which triple is better the Triumph Street Triple or this bikes motor?

Gosh, who shat in your cornflakes? 😂
Needs the full fairing and a different rear cowl.
Wow
Good job, Yamaha!
5:39 even the regular 2022+ xsr got 6-axis imu right?

I think we find that when the upcoming generation of mt09s arrive, there will be a bit prices increase.
Is it coming to USA?
750 square four motor would be the ducks nuts (two stroke)
Why no California? I would pay cash for one.
shame they did not go for retro headlights. nice bike though
No Pillion seat?
shure, a good one !
Audio panned to much to the left!
Is this 4 cylinder?
Triple
Who’s going to buy the drab black one? Thy not have a Yam Auto blue instead or 60 Anniversary R7 colours?
No pov riding review? C'mon. You'd get more views.
Iron Man bike😂😂😂😂
Bring back the R1😡😡
Price??
He did say £12k
Thats how to review a bike, shame about the exhaust and not able to switch of abs
Another 30 hp and it would have been perfect.
tuner makes that bike a monster.
My pants just got a little tighter...
Rgv500 styled gsxr750 in lucky strike please suzuki and a rothmans honda nsr500 styled cbr600rr please honda thanks.
As soon as theres a long side exhaust and some proper mirrors available for it, not the hipster wanky barend crap, ill be buying one👍
Akrapovic makes an exhaust. CRG mirrors. Done.
Yup can't be doing with bar end nonsense. The bracket is there for fairing mount

Pillion seat is under the tail cowl. You can see the foot pegs folded away at the rear of the bike
