    I've spoken to Yamaha and they have confirmed this is an early bike, this is why it has the early paint on the belly pan. Customer bikes were swapped for a proper colour matched version and if you buy one now it will match! Promise :-)

    In the years to come, I can see that the CP3 engine will achieve legendary status similar to Suzuki's K5 engine. Both engines are extremely reliable and can be used in a variety of different motorcycle models.
    Great video again Chops 👏

      Yeah imo the CP3 is the Unicorn motor for Yamaha that is the sweet spot of not too much and not too little power and always a joy to ride. Now if we could get a Tenere 900 to finish the lineup........

      I love the CP3 engine, I want a bike I can do everything on. The Tracer9 fits that criteria but I'm struggling to get past the looks of it to buy one.

      @ganuvien 20 днів тому

      @Begbiespintpot Yeah they really did the tracer ugly even if it's practical lol. If they could make an FZ1/FZ6 but with the CP3 that would be ideal to me. I just can't get past Adv bike styling for sport touring.

    • @Begbiespintpot
      @Begbiespintpot 20 днів тому

      @ganuvien I would take an ADV styled bike with a CP3 in it. I don't think the triple is the right engine for off roading but I do like the riding position so I'd love to see Yamaha attempt one, given how well they styled the T7.

    It is a beautiful bike, like a cycloptic iron man.

    As the owner of a TZR250 as soon as this came out I was down to Bransons for a test ride. I was the first person to take their demo out but despite the engine it didn't do it for me. I actually found it uncomfortable but im only 5 foot 9. Certain bits look ugly to me despite the bike I tested having the optonal full system and belly pan which you would have to have making this bike closer to 15 grand😮 The bar end mirrors are terrible and should be on the fairing and it looks odd with the rear seat cover off. I really wanted to love this bike but just didn't. In fact a few days later I had the new ZX6R as a loan bike and perfered that. 🤔

It looks great & is all the sporty road bike you'll ever need as well as being up to the odd track day too. Yamaha also have loads of iconic paint jobs to choose from so if I were them, I do 3 separate all black, white & blue versions & then offer factory fitted graphics kits as an optional extra.

    • @sereneturmoil
      @sereneturmoil Місяць тому +5

      I actually prefer the look that comes with the lack of a side-slung exhaust. It provides a clean, symmetrical look rather than having an enormous, black or silver breadbox stuck to the side of a otherwise well considered design. A perfect example of what I mean, and how to do exhausts wrong, is basically every Kawasaki model's stock exhaust (save for the Z650/900RS).

    Great vid chops but that gap between the belly pan and fairing does not look right. The belly pan is not quite right. Still a nice looking bike though. However I have a genuine original 93 Yam YZF 750R pinky with a somewhat similar fairing and a fairing bracket just like the one on the XSR GP. But my YZF makes more power at 125 hp. On a different note could you and Greg do a video on all the new bikes shown at the EICMA show? Would be interested in your opinions. Take care and ride safe.

      Some bikes look fine. For example the Kawasaki Z900rs has nice looking 4 into 1 system that actually looks like an 80's motad 4 into 1 performance system. Manufacture's can do it , if they try, but many unfortunately don't bother.

    Great hearing your thoughts on the bike mate, I love mine... my love is mainly on the looks, but the engine is a lot of fun, although I do wish it felt a bit more exciting near the top end. I think the only real thing I disagree with in your thoughts though is about the nav... I hate it and deleted it after a single use. It would be nicer if they just allowed you to cast your phone screen to the dash so you could use your own choice of nav software like Calimoto or just Google Maps.
    Being a shortarse, I do find it quite tall, and that also hinders how easy it is to get a knee down when hooning, but it does ride so very nicely and is soooo deceptivily fast.

    It's hard case how they are making bikes slower these days and then selling less performance as a feature..

      the belly pan is not connected to the fairing at all.

      Because if Yamaha are known for anything, it's their shoddy build quality.. 🙄It's a fairing with a separate and optional bellypan.

      I imagine it all depends on your shape and size and how flexiable you are and what bikes you are used to. I have one and am not hugely flexiable, found it very uncomfortable to start with, but after a few miles it is night and day better than my Gixer 750 was for me, and that wasn't mega uncomfortable.
