    Yeah, for people like me that would love a sport bike but cannot give up the retro lifestyle, this is perfect, or beyond perfect.
    Doesn't hurt that I was watching when those guys - Wayne and Kevin - were going at each others throats back then, bit of nostalgia thrown in.
    Initially I was a little annoyed Yamaha are charging such a premium for that lower fairing though.
    Then again not sure the full sportbike look is better, different for sure, might even prefer the more naked one.

  • @fyorbane
    @fyorbane Місяць тому

    Lovely looking machine. Brings back great memories of the 80's and 90's. However like many have pointed out that lower optional fairing looks like an afterthought. The fit does not look quite right. I would wait for a better fitting and looking after market version if this bike was mine. And why offer a dull grey/black version. They should have offered it in the classic Sonauto/Gauloises [Cristian Sarron] colour scheme as well.

  • @timstah01

  • @christyrer9530
    @christyrer9530 Місяць тому +1

    Fantastic looking bike and a modern take on the RD500 in a way, albeit a 4 stroke. I would have to go with the black and grey colours though, I would feel like a right sad old git riding those Marlboro colours at my age 😂🙈!!

  • @twistandgo3414
    @twistandgo3414 Місяць тому

    Nice one Dan, what a fab opportunity and great review.
    I’m not sure i’m 100% sold on the front end & headlight but splitting opinion isn’t a bad thing. Def prefer the fully faired version and the higher Akra pipe though, it’s screaming for a black Marlboro sticker set on the side! 👍🏻😎. How do you find the new CP3 engine compares to the latest Triumph offering in the 765R/RS? Also intrigued, like a lot of 80’s bike if you’re able to store anything in that seat pod at the back?

  • @sambagogo777
    @sambagogo777 Місяць тому +1

    It looks like the factory workers knocked off early for the weekend before having finished fitting the fairing.
    Oh, I see why. Yamaha has listed it as an optional extra for an additional £599!

    I still own a uk spec TZR250 and love 80s sports bikes but not sure about this. I need to see one for real I guess. It needs the full system and bellypan for sure and im not a fan of the bar end mirrors either. I like the idea of an 80s sports bike with a modern engine and brakes though. Its seems expensive too🤔

    I think this is the kind of bike that you think you want but in practice the riding position and seat is a pain for anything beyond 60 minutes of riding and you end up not riding it as much as expected.

    I'm from Portugal, seen one of these in the gas station, couple days ago. Must say, a bit underwhelming, from the looks to the sound. Kind of weird, most bikes look better in life than on screen, this one was the other way around. It's still a good bike, but the price though, a bit steep, there's better bikes in that price range.
