    Oh man i love this retro wave, 2 days ago i felt in love with the Triumph Street Twin and now i see this thing. I hope it will come to Europe because i want to buy a bike next year and this thing is like a time travel back to the 70´s, when bikes looked how they should look! Awesome!

    And that opportunity represented itself. I now have a pristine 2020 model. It had 4,200 km on it at purchase last November. I love it. It reminds me of my XT500 in the '80s, only with a Sportster engine in it.

    @CaptHollister Před 8 lety +1

    I completely agree about the position of the turn signals. To me they, and the taillight, need to be lower down along the rear fender. Besides looking better, this would allow for mounting a rear rack, something which was very common on this type of bike back in the 70s.

    I had an opportunity to test ride the SCR 950 this past weekend. Yamaha was having a Demo Ride day at one of the local dealerships. I was hoping to fall in love with this bike, but there was a couple little things I didn't like. The heel of my right foot would sit on the exhaust. Not a very comfortable position. When at a stop, the pegs would hit the back of my legs which was a little annoying. Both minor complaints, but over time it's the little things that will drive you crazy.

Even though the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer, it will not be released in Japan. It is a very sad event. Your video was great. I shed excitement of tears.

      Now, I want a candidate there are two.
      One is this motorcycle.
      And the other one is the YAMAHA XT250.
      Timing that I determine is when you test drive the bike in Japan.
      If this bike can enjoy the off-road, I want this bike.
      I subscribe to your program.
      I am already your fans.
      And, it is enthusiastic fan of your motorcycle.
      I think I want to enjoy your video from Japan.

    I am coming round to this bike. A bit heavy, but evidently it is carried low. I wish it had tubeless tyres; cross-spoke wheels would have been nice. A digital speedo with an analogue tach sweeping around the outside like on my Yamaha MT-01 would look better than this diall.

    I really like the way it looks, like something I always imagine a motorcycle should look like. The only gripe I have is with the dash - I like the round shape, but it just drives me nuts that it has that rectangular cutout for the digital display.. and not even in the center!?! :D But that's just nitpicking..

      I have small windows of time to break away from the job I'm working on and take these bikes for rides, far more often then not with no camera to record them. With something spontaneous like this, I haven't even looked at the specs yet, so instead of guessing or misquoting, I provide a link at the top of the description for the manufactures web site. And to be honest, I don't do spec quoting videos anyway, as they are so unimportant to me in deciding weather I like a bike or not...
      Thanks for watching and commenting William!

    I love how they dropped the "wanna-be Iron 883"-look with this thing with only minimal changes to the original design. The tank alone would be enough reason for me to want the SCR ... reminds me so much of the old XT500.
    Unlike the Bolt, I would actually consider this bike over a Sportster. With the Bolt, I'd feel like I'm riding around on a "Pepsi"-bike. But since the SCR harkens back to awesome Yamaha-classics, I'd say it is a "Coca-Cola"-bike... ;)

      I'm in a very hard spot... now that I'm ready to buy an 883 I wonder if I should go used and upscale or maybe even consider this here Yammy. Which is awesome and definitely a throwback in many ways. When all said and done, I would and will most likely go w/ the 883.

      883s have no power, poor brakes, wooden suspension, clunky trannys and I hate to propagate myths, but they blow oil from new. Check out Revzillas review of the 883, Lemmys boots are covered in oil. Its pathetic what people buy because Harley that would not be acceptable from a Chinese scooter factory.

      +Jeffry Willem - You know Jeffry, I do not know what this bike sells for..? Yamaha's website will give you MSRP... We have tons of them! If you are anywhere near Vancouver, WA. give Pro Caliber a call, I bet they'll make you a great deal on one!
      Thanks for watching!

    Way too heavy for intended purpose. should have used a smaller lighter starting point
