@@FortyFourTeeth I genuinely mean that. I've dealt with depression for the last 15years. Last year I decided it was time to come off my tablets. Long story short, it's been an awful past few months and I'm back to the same dosage again. I live in the middle of nowhere and should want to go for walks in the miles of forest right outside my gates but I'm still choosing to hide inside. You are inspiring me to get off my arse and I've actually been out on my bike (s1000rr) on Saturday for the first time in ages. I just keep finding excuses not to go for a morning walk despite my only neighbour encouraging me to. This video has shown me the fruits of your labours though so hopefully it'll resonate deep down at some point. I'd love to talk about this review of yours but tbh, I'm still smitten with your R Nine T that you seem to hate. Anyway, there's only so much I write in a YT comment. Got loads to say on your insinuations about 'the lurgy' a few videos ago. Just wanted to let you know that I admire the turnaround you've created for yourself. Simple comments like saying that you enjoyed this bike rather than feeling you need the latest and greatest pub boast show that you didn't have a 'wobble', you really were in a hole and you're an inspiration for me as to how to get out of my hole. Stay strong buddy 👌🏼

Dopamine and health is administered via the brain by working towards a goal. Keep your goals dead ahead and you will slowly feel better by the day! Take care of your body, but also your mind. Temporary dopamine fixes are only temporary because they don't move you towards a goal. Find that goal, and keep up the work!

Great to see you back at it Chris, hope its a good 2022.

Having built 4 1970s/1980s cafe racers I love this. I'm only 28 so I require good handling and power for proper riding, but new bikes bore me style wise. This however, hits the nail on the head. All you have to do to understand why the tail is box shaped is look at late 80s Superbikes. GSXR etc. All rocking the old school box ends. Love it.

Pity they don't have a bikini fairing option for it like the Yami's of the 80's It would look great and give the rider a little wind protection at minimal weight cost.

Deltabox frame was first introduced in 1987, so it fits into the period this bike is aimed at echoing.

Great to see and hear you back Chris👍👌😎 Mega job! We’ve all missed you so much

I've got the XSR700. LOVE the design and ride experience from both versions.

Yassssss Chrissy back doing what he does best ! Love a sue take on things, keep them coming ❤️

so good to have Chris back on a review. l'll add this to the shortlist for the next bike which is always changing as I can't make up my mind hence still got a 22 year old r6.

Great to see you back reviewing Chris. And what a great place for it!

As others have said, nice to see you out testing again. Your description of this bike's purpose is exactly the reasons I have the previous generation MT-09 SP: a bike for sunny day country road scratches. My bike could handle much better though - might go and test ride one of these new XSRs to see how the revised engine, frame and electronics feel. Always liked the XSR look, all the more so since they made the latest generation MTs so fugly in my eyes.

Great to see you back reviewing Chris, I really enjoyed it….cheers

Great to see you back, love your reviews.

Glad you are back and enjoying your work in the sun on a great motorcycle.

Great review Chris! It's brilliant watching you enjoy the bike for what it is and not just focusing on the (very few) negatives and constantly comparing it to everything else in the segment. Would love to see you do a proper road review of the new Gsx-s 1000 as it's very high on my "next bike" list. All the best mate, looking forward to the next review.

Yamaha is really on a roll...first with the MT-10 in 2016, and now this in 2022. Gamechanger machines. Way to go Yamaha!

Chris so good to see you back on cam. I hope your doing well of course. I have missed your sense of humor. Much love and respect..

Brilliant review! Some of the points you made are the reasons I got my Z900RS Cafe, decent amount of poke and just good fun to ride. I don't want the pressure of a 200bhp sportsbike on the road so these type of bikes make perfect sense to me.

Fantastic bike. Quite like that colour scheme too, and that sound! Beautiful.

Yeah the bike seems pretty good, but I feel like the real winner in this vid are those roads and views!! Also great to have you back on 44teeth Chris!

Pretty much! It's a great bike. ( I own a 22 MT09SP The seat on that one is better IMO). Also 14L tank while yes small you can stretch it. When you ride in D mode 4 it does use less fuel (according to instant consumption readings). Yes steering lock sucks balls. The BC is Brake Control which changes between standard ABS and more sensitive cornering ABS.

Great to see you back buddy.... BTW "Induction Boom", wernt they a Drum and bass outfit out of Bristol in the late 90's.... ;-) ;-)

I put a deposit on the blue one and it’s taking a long time to show up. I really don’t need this bike and with my club racing experience I wanted to see if I would be bored with this bike here on the New England back roads. This review really helped me with my decision. Your skill level and expectations met the bike and found it really entertaining and fun. Perfect. I won’t be bored and regret my purchase. No test rides here in the states.

Definitely understand 20:25. I've got a triumph bobber, great bike. But sometimes feel the throttle is a bit... twitchy.. so I mostly ride it in rain mode, just feels smoother

Great to see old Sue travelling abroad and reviewing bikes again. 👍

I vastly prefer the XSR styling to the MT. Great bike with all the features for a very reasonable price. It is a bit odd that so many manufacturers struggle to get motorcycle seats right.

Yup, this is the bike I want next to my T7. I don't want to dip into my savings but...I do have great credit :D

loving the PTT sticker on the dash

I love this bike, been watching each video as it comes out.

It's the right heritage era for my taste. The Triumph stuff is too old looking for me

Just got my blue 2023.. Sport Heritage? IMO it's all functional.. nothing fake like the "Air Fins" on the Z900. The Frame! Wow, that's total function, the solid, uniform, satin black.. it's hard to find the engine actually. The Frame is almost a body. Love it. You know it won't break, it's Yamaha. I had a '90 taurus SHO (208K miles) with the yammie engine, 5 spd.. wow easily as fast a a mustang GT of the day, ran just like new. pin the tach almost like a rotary! Yamaha delivered a 340HP 3.0 literfire breather to Ford who tamed it down to 220 HP for production. Yamaha is first an Engine builder.. that's their expertise. They did a few HIPo engines for other car builders over the years. Starting with the Legendary RD350/RD400, followed by the masterpiece 3 cylinder GT750 2 cycle water cooled "Water Buffalo" in the 70s. That's where we learned the high value of a water jacket to silence those wierd engine rattles, knocks and whines of the Kawasaki H2.
