  • The new 2020 Yamaha Tricity 300 joins the Niken and Tricity 125cc machines in Yamaha's leaning multi-wheeled lineup. With double the grip, braking power, and confidence thanks to the bike's intricate front end design, once you've ridden one, the many benefits of the design are difficult to deny.
    Add to that the fact that the Tricity 300 can be ridden on a car driving licence and will cost massive amounts less to run a month than a car, commuting on a bike really has never looked more attractive!

    I've been riding motorcycles since 1967 and never gave scooters a second thought until the Tricity 125 showed up in 2014. I bought one and discovered the simple joy of twist & go plus the extra confidence around a corner. I also appreciate the small displacement engine because I can run at full throttle 80-90% of the time and not kill myself. It's a different level of fun. It opened up a whole new riding experience for me and six years later I'm still enjoying it.

      For someone that has never ridden a bike, I’m seriously thinking about getting to Tricity 300. I can also ride it on my car licence. I’m guessing by your comment you would recommend it..?🤙

    • @cycoklr
      @cycoklr Před 3 lety +4

      @@billzer9102 Yes, I can definitely recommend this type of ride and the 300 is even more practical if there are steep hills and wide open motorways where you plan to ride because of the extra power. I ride mine mostly to run errands in the city so extra power is not critical. I must add that it's not very comfortable when riddden continuously for longer periods ( more than 2 hours) due to its restrictive riding posture. There's no legroom to stretch and the 125's seat has a pronounced bump between the rider and pillion so you can't slide back either. The 300 looks roomier.

    I’m a car driver got one just over a year ago I have zero motorcycle experience but have ridden scooters on holiday occasionally. To be honest I was crapping it on first outing. Started off little trips to large car parks preferably empty doing various manoeuvres. First thing you notice is how big it is slow turning is scary at first lean too much at slow speeds it will fall. Stand assist is great when parking up I have learned to not use it when stopping at junctions etc. Done about 5 k miles on it now occasional trips to work and several outings to the Scottish Borders County Durham North Yorkshire and Northumberland, fantastic roads and it does put a big smile on my face. Ps not dropped it yet and I’m a 60 year old 5 foot 9 skinny lad.

  • @briansture4353
    @briansture4353 Před 2 lety +6

    I have reached an age where balancing and pushing a heavy motorbike around in the garage or a car park sometimes gets a little out of balance and that is scary because if it falls I'm not sure I have the strength to pick it up. So coupled with the excellent braking and stability
    the choice of three wheels became obvious for pushing the bike around in a confined area. I am what you might call a scenic rider. I like to keep up with the traffic and pass when necessary. I don't have a fascination with outright speed anymore as I did in the '60s just a nice comfortable safe ride and the Tricity gives me that secure ride feeling. As the author says it puts a smile on your face and that is something special when you consider the number of bikes I have ridden and owned in my 84 years. The key issue for me is the stand-alone system.
    I am sure that would be a bonus for many females and older male riders.

    Dear Sir. I live in The Netherlands so my English is not perfect. I saw your review of the Tri City and listened good to you and I must say that your review is the best I have ever heard or seen concerning motor/ scooters. You have an open mind to the scooter which "real" motor riders see as rubbish. I had a lot of motor cycles and motorscooters and I love them both. And now I have bought a new Tri City and I am curious how much I will like/love it. I think he looks marvelous and the technic is fantastic. Very spacious seat. I always ride with my wife and one of the reasons to buy the Tri City is the fact that it can stay right up for stoplights and parking. Both issues for us. Thank you for posting this video it gives me a lot of comfort about my decision to trade my Burgman 650 for the Tri City. Next saturday I can pick him up! By the way; we love the greenish color..

    I love this technology. I hope manufacturers like Yamaha take it to the next level with aerodynamic aids, a free-standing mode on stops etc. Imagine a recumbent with car-type seating, digital display, cameras, radar, blind spot detection, anti-lock, partial body, glass canopy.I know, it's too expensive, it's a scooter, blah blah, blah
    But it's fun to think outside the box. After witnessing a fully enclosed [aerodynamic shell ] recumbent bicycle being pedaled to 90 mph/144 kph [Battle Mountain, Nevada] on level ground unassisted, I said wow "we really are behind in motorcycle, scooter development".
    Shouldn't we be able to manufacture a 2/3/4 wheeled scooter that is quieter, faster, safer, more comfortable, with fewer emissions that can go a lot further on its carbon fuel, battery, fuel cell, etc.?"I think so...

    Great bike to ride , My other bike is a Harley Sportster . this is as much fun as that but with a front end that you can really push with confidence even in the very wet. drawback is the height of the step through. swopped from a tricity 155 with ease of mounting. this is a little difficult to mount with only 29" legs. seat height is higher than tricity 155, makes stops interesting. the locking front only comes in at below 3 kph. Much easier to push around into and out of garage. Wife found the rear footrests to low to reach, I have added footrest rubbers which help and at £4.50 a great fix. The extra power , up from 155cc to 300cc is great, riding the hills and dales of Derbyshire this bike is as much fun as the Harley. With a better front end and better weather protection the choice now is Yamaha or Harley for that short little ride. The Tricity 155 was bought to trailer behind a motorhome, to use when parked up on campsites around Europe, the 300 gives us the option to travel further afield from base. Yamaha why only one main key, £150 for second key is taking the p.

      You can fit a kit to these. A 190cc kit is available and along with lighter rollers it flies. Even a gear kit that deals with the lack of acceleration.
      These are tuned for commuting remember. You need to change a few things to make it peppy.

    An excellent review. It was worth waiting for after European reviews. Thank you for putting a big effort. The best thing is that you are open-minded and not being trapped by the old school motorcycle image. You have evaluated what is good and bad as a free thinking motorcycle journalist. A well crafted talk and good articulations which is important when presenting on a video. There is journalism here. I look forward to watching your next work. T-max based three wheeler is rumoured, which should be very interesting, but the price would be too much.

    Thank you! I've been waiting for this review, and you didn't let me down. Mine is on order, but they tell me it won't be here (Slovenia) for weeks! The season is slipping by! When it does arrive I will break it in ASAP, then run directly to the Dolomites to ride the hell out of it, and very likely enjoy every minute on it! Everyone talks about the confidence the Ackerman system provides. They fail to mention how much more relaxed you become once you adjust to it. Uneven pavement, road debris, gravel, sand, wet pavement, train tracks, steel grid bridges, etc. don't cause you to stiffen in the saddle as much. You are not scanning the road constantly for potential traction robbing situations. If you've ridden before, you do know what to watch for, but you also learn that with those two front wheels you do have less to be concerned about. The extra bit of relaxation leaves you more able to enjoy the ride much more! I've done the Dolomites on the Tracer 700 and loved it, but I'm getting older now. Not as flexible, so I expect the Tricity to give me much more comfort on the road. If Yamaha could put the CP2 engine in this.......well.....that might be one totally incredible piece of machinery!!! But, as is, Iv'e loved the rides on the Test Bike, and fully expect that I will love mine when it finally arrives! I do wish it had just a bit more horsepower for highway passing. And...a glove box would be very nice! Not sure how I will use the power outlet without some safe place to hide the phone while it's charging. I'd like to add that this bike is not only for uninitiated riders. I've ridden for many years, from Honda 90cc bikes, to Goldwings, other sports cruisers, and several scooters including the Burgman 650. And I love the road feel of the Tricity 300! The first shipment of Tricity 300's arrived in Slovenia in early June, and sold out very quickly. Yamaha, please hurry up with that second shipment!

      @@stonemarten1400 My goal was to take it into the Dolomites this year, but I've been thwarted by my aging body. I'm 70, and had spinal fusion surgery two years ago. Unfortunately, as I've gotten older I've also gotten a little weaker. Drop this thing and it's difficult to get it up again when you are alone. Sadly, I had that experience. After some long soul searching I decided it was time for me to let it go. Sold it. Yes, riding the mountains of Northern Italy and Slovenia was a fantastic joy! I will miss the adventures I had on the Tricity and the Tracer 700. The 700 did take me thru the Dolomites the year before I got the Tricity. The 700 handled like a dream the entire way in and back!!! Both bikes were fine in the mountains, on highways and back roads. As the weather is warming now, I can already sense that I will miss riding this year.

      @@stonemarten1400 Yeah. I'm gonna miss it! But you.......miles to go before you sleep! At 54 I was still in the states on a Goldwing. Great for the roads there, but for here, it's kind of overkill. For here the Tricity was great! For your proposed uses....I believe you may be a very happy man! Cobblestones, wet or dry, you will float over them in the front. If they are smooth, you'll be fine in the back too. If they are irregular, you may feel the bounce of the back suspension, but not much more than most scooters. That front end eliminates a lot of the stability worries of irregular pavement, pot holes, cobble stone, train tracks, grooved pavement etc. You will ride with a calmer mind! It glides thru twisties nicely too! The only drawback I found with the bike was on open highways when I wanted to pass. Because of the weight and it's 300cc power plant I found that I had to plan overtakes carefully. Other than that one thing, it was superb! If I had designed it, I would have given it a 350 cc engine. Anyway, for your purposes I think you'll be very pleased with it. Oh, one more observation....the brake pedal.....I never used it, and never missed it.

You could use it as a daily commuter in rain even light snow and get around 70 MPGs also make it capable of light off road using 50/50% street/dirt tires and adjustable suspension.

Who the hell stops a bike with just the front brake, this has ABS, Traction control and 85mpg. I get off it stick all my riding gear under the seat walk round town in my underwire if needed. A guy and his son on CZcams has done 250 miles a day for 5 days on a Tricity 300 and an R3. Work this one out then. A PLC programmer put his laptop under the seat, traveled Chesterfield to Cardiff round trip and claimed £0.45 a mile and gets paid for the job that’s 345 x 0.45 = £156.60. 345/85=4 gallons = £24. 2 guys on 1 tricity 300 did over 80 miles per hour on CZcams. Add the storage option what currier or call out can you make money from with it.

I am 5' 6" and I found it very comfortable, with room to move my legs and feet around while riding. The stock windscreen....a bit too short for me. I got wind buffeting around my helmet, which I do not enjoy. I will put a taller screen on it. The display is easy to read and clear. Now this may seem odd to other bikers, but I love the front fairing and placement of the handlebars. Excellent weather protection! I've owned and ridden the X-max 250 and 400. Both were good scooters, but with the high seat placement Yamaha often uses, I found my self looking down over the front end of those scooters while seated so high that I felt that I was almost hovering above the bikes. Disconcerting on high mountain curves and hairpins. The Tricity 300 set up feels more right, secure, enveloping the rider to a degree. I didn't have the feeling that I could so easily fly over the front end in a hard stop. Overall, on the flat roads, on the highways, in the mountains, and everywhere else, the Tricity felt stable, solid, well planted even in strong cross winds, easy to manage, smooth as butter, and was a joy to ride. Still, I do wish it had more horsepower for quicker highway passing. The price? Yes, relatively high for a 300 cc scooter, but that front end may prove worth it in the long run. That remains to be seen. The extra comfort and security of the two front wheels changes the riding experience significantly to something much more relaxing, even at 88 MPH. Another bonus for me in this region....I often encounter dirt, grass/gravel trails or farm type roads I'd like to explore a little. I could do it, to a degree on the T-Max and X-Max scooters, but very carefully, gently, fearing I'd lose the front end traction. On the Tricity 300, I believe I will feel less hesitant to explore the back roads, and should be able to see more of this countryside. Expanded range!

      @@stonemarten1400 Hello! Yes it was a decent light off-roader for me. I used it on gravel tracks periodically in Slovenia. Farm and logging roads of well compressed dirt were also ridden with no difficulties. I never tried it on deep mud. It's a scooter, so I did not seek out mud tracks. IF I had encountered any while exploring, I would have avoided deep mud or loosely packed sand more than 2 inches deep. The stock tires handled everything very well. The suspension responded very well in these varied conditions.

    Anemal Kernow.

Now why does the Vid repeat it self three times. But 80 MPG bloody hell that's good and got my interests noted straight away. Shame don't do a geared version and lose the scooter in its title would attract more the snobby class for sure . Just feel like taking the front end off and put it on me FJ1200 130BHP as it weighs just as much and nice to have better braking power :-) Mal

The unreliability of the MP3’s electronics is a major turn off for what they charge. Having had the opportunity to ride this it really does stay upright at stops which is something I could use. 2022 now and time to make a decision

    A great explanation of a fascinating machine. I have always pronounced the Tri in Tri-city as in triangle, try not tree. Is your English pronunciation the “Yamaha correct” pronunciation? Tree-city as in three city? A full set of specifications at the end of the video that we could screen save would be fantastic. Not in the information below, mobiles, iPads and Tablets don’t include the extra computer information. In Thailand the speed limit is 90 kph, or 56 mph, in Australia 100kph and sometimes 110kph, or 62mph and 68 mph. I find 150cc quite powerful and adequate in Thailand. 250cc is the maximum power a learner or probationary ride can operate in Australia. Comments that people must have 500cc seem to suggest somebody needs extra help to prove their adequacy.😜 i like a slow and easy ride, i like to make it last. 😊 enjoy the ride.l
