Thank God I will buy one for myself
Great review mate thank you! Im getting one of these!!
@joshyboy08 glad you liked the review. Enjoy the bike
I was wondering if you were going to give an update on your verdict for your new tyres ? I may have missed it in another of your videos thx.
I was going to....however on my most recent trip I had a Puncture in the rear and needed to replace it for a different tyre as in France I couldn't get another Road 5 near Nice
The Tricity 300 can be ridden on a car licence. The Tricity 125 requires a CBT. It’s to do with the spacing between the front wheels. The 125 has a narrower space between the wheels and is therefore classified as a motorbike.
The mirror is what you will remember the most.
Interesting comments about how cars try to bully you when you're riding a scooter in a way they wouldn't do if you were on a big bike. It's the same with small cars, drivers will bully a Fiat 500 then find it's a Abarth and it will leave them for dead. As a born-again biker one thing I've noticed is that in the 1980s and 1990s most big bikes would leave most cars for dead on the motorway with a quick twist of the throttle and dropping a gear. Nowadays, cars are much faster and while bikes may also be faster the 70mph speed limit remains the same. You don't feel you can just leave an aggressive bully driver behind without going well beyond 100mph.
what time should i get there
@adsythebomb we got there for about 9am
@@RevZolution thanks would you say that's a bit early or just right?
It's like upholstery shops haven't been invented. Use some imagination folks..
why not learn from honda to make good comfy seats ?
why would anyone make a angled frame on handlebars ? no purpose as you need special risers !!!
Your comments on space in France vs UK are interesting. I'm French and my sister lives in Kent. When I come there, I find it beautiful but so much crowd everywhere. The roads are cute but so narrow (no shoulder to pull over) and busy. In France we have still lot of nearly empty spaces in some rural departments like Creuse or Lozere.
@@gsbeak I'm in Europe at the moment. And the space and land out here is amazing in the countryside. Currently in Croatia and it makes the UK look over crowded.
I bought the 2024 model which is basically the same the only difference is color and coming from sport bikes the XSR 900 is truly a great bike . I love it and at 56 years of age it’s the perfect trade off from sport to something I can actually enjoy for longer than 20 minutes 😂 It Handles great and has plenty of power and the brakes are great as well . I can live with the seat . It’s again hands down my favorite and I’ve had some incredible bikes over the years. Stay safe out there !
Have one, my MT got stolen not getting another bike. Not worth the hassle. True other bikers ignore you😂. Ignorance on their behalf.
I had a brand new Givi Trekker Dolomite fall off at about 50 mph on a dual carriageway on its first outing, it lasted 26 miles. Givi repaired the latch and sent the battered box back. Sports bike shop, to their credit refused to give me the battered box back and gave me a full refund for the top plate and top box.
Was about to buy it but I guess eu ruined it :D thx for the video
I just bought one, looking at a Kelpi seat.
@@matthewward7457 let me know how the seat is
I almost bought this bike but I couldn't stand the hard seat. I hope they put a more comfy one on the 2025 model.
@dolphinride5157 that would be the point I walk away from the sale as well. Shame it's a hard seat
@@RevZolution Exactly. Yamaha should put a comfy seat on it instead of expecting us to spend another $500 or more additional dollars to get a better one.
In the US that Skyline is sold as the Infiniti G35, and it's very clearly based on the 350z or 370z.
@@boriskhavronin that makes sense
Fantastic review just what I have been searching for a review from someone like who rides almost everyday. Got rear ended while stationary 12 days ago in the Alps while leading 8 guys on tour luckily on the last day before heading home. The bike is probably a write off and I had some quite severe torso injuries broken ribs internal bleeding etc. This type of air bag with the sensor would definitely have minimised my injuries which are going to take months to recover from especially at my age. Thank you, definitely going down this route and this has helped me cut through the crap. Great vid quality and sound, managed to salvage my cameras but lost my brand new Dji Mic 2 in the crash. FB👍
@forestboy54 hi. Thank you so much for your detailed comment. I'm sorry to hear about the incident. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I'm in the Alps at the moment. And I've got my E Vest on every day. I've now got the fork sensor as well. Added reassurance 🙂 hopefully you'll hit subscribe and catch my review with the fork sensor and trip across Europe which I'm currently filming. If you do purchase one. Could you let Helite know my video helped you with your decision 🙂
Ive had mine from new, after 900 miles. It's being sold. The seat is awful, the vibrations are horrendous. Tried grip puppies, rubber oegs ams nothing. The brakes are mushy, suspension isn't great, even after setting it up.. Great for a 1 hour stint but that's about for me... Fantastic engine, it's fun, and it looks great, but i can't get past the vibrations. Settling on the 1000XR and then next year will be adding a tuono 1100 to have have insane v4. Ride safe bro❤
I'm sorry for your bad experience, and really appreciate it as I am struggling to decide between this one and a Suzuki gsx- s1000. Very little bad feedback I can find on this one, but I understand the Suzuki will be smoother for sure. I was leaning toward the Yamaha for it's light weight and looks, but the vibrations you mentioned are putting me off!
@jardani9922 The BMW S1000xr does suffer from vibrations. But nowhere near as bad as the XSR900. Don't get me wrong. It's a great bike but to me, it didn't feel 'special'. The tuono I'll be adding in its replacement is..
It seems that we don’t ride the same bike. No, the suspensions are perfectly adequate. The front brake is excellent and the rear brake OK. All in all, the handling is truly excellent. There are vibrations sure, it’s a triple, not a four, but they are annoying only in the footpegs. (The new XSR900GP has footpegs with a rubber top. I’m considering buying those. More stylish than the FJR’s.) Yes, the seat is horribly uncomfortable. But I’ve test ridden the bike before purchasing it and this was no surprise for me. I haven’t bought this "modern cafe racer" to do some long distance touring anyway. I have other bikes for that.
I have the same bike, even in the same color. A few thoughts: The bar-end mirrors are fantastically designed for urban riding. You can simply fold them inward and then they are no wider than the handlebar. The seat is uncomfortable if you wear jeans but removing the seat shows that it is surprisingly thick. There's two settings for the footpegs. Pushing the throttle past closed cancels cruise control. Setting the display to flash at a pre determined RPM (set by the user) works much better than trying to read the tiny display. The fuel-gauge is terrible; I use the "gallons consumed" instead. The stock exhaust is fine. I know it's bike culture to be loud, but I urge you to spend a day being an urban pedestrian; of all the vehicles on the road it's invariably the bikers who are deafeningly and painfully loud. It's no coincidence that both UK and US local ordinance is coming down hard on bikers. In my opinion, buyers should only buy this bike if they intended to do trackdays with it. It's far too much for the street when an XSR700 or ZX650 would work just as well and be more comfortable. This bike is dangerous without its rider aids. It makes more power and weighs less than the original Honda CBR900RR. A small Dart windscreen settles the front of the bike down very nicely. I find naked sportbikes to benefit greatly from a small fly screen which pushes the front end down. Hepco and Becker now makes a fantastic c-bow panniers for this bike. It's not cheap but it makes the bike quite practical.
sh 350 for the city king of the king no better scooter for the city
@@obecny00 I couldn't agree more 🙂
Why not D Air RevZ? It’s a bit cheaper with no subscriptions.
@JCRule69 there's no subscription with Helite. Once you've paid for the vest that's it. That's why I chose this one.
I know this post is a couple of years old, but just wondered if with all luggage and TomTom if you experienced any horrible handle bar wobble and / vibration ? 🙂
@@randomrides i sure did. Even without the luggage. It's vile!
I'm getting my 2.0 this Saturday. Can't wait.
@@maverickslb80 you'll love it! 🙂
It looks nice but the insure is the as a car not good if your only going to use it in the summer months even then you still get rain I was interested but the costs out way the benefits
Did you manage to get a fork sensor?
I did indeed. I will be doing a video of that soon..probably from Monaco 😃
Like my Tricity 125 l have had for a short while .the only fault l have found is that the suspension is very hard it doesn't like bumps or potholes
Could you please advise if can drive one of these with a B licence here in Uk. I've see written that your licence should be pre 1997. Thanks in advance.
Because this bike is a trike, as long as you have a full UK car licence you can ride it without the need for a bike licence. It's down to the distance the front wheels are from eachother making it a trike not a bike and therefore needing a car licence only
@@RevZolution thanks
the xsr900gp has a fairing but doesnt come in blue
I've just bought a 2006, 3.0si E86 coupe 6 speed manual with the N52 engine, To me if you want to splash out on a Z4 just get a 6 cylinder, The engine sound and power/Torque is just awesome! A weedy 4 cylinder in a Z4 IMO just doesn't cut it!
I think the 4 cylinders were meant for the ladies. They wouldn't care anyway. If I would have to trade my 3.0L for a 2.0, I'd rather not have it at all.
I will buy it to have it from A to B. You know how much I care about motorbike fans and their sect behaviour? I don"t. This is great for my needs. The same way I acted now they give you opinions you dont have to listen
You didn't mention the last button and what it means lol
I've put 8 hour interstate ride days on my 2018 C14, at around the 6 hour point I'm looking to be done, but i can keep going. I do have a Sargeant seat, 2" bar risers with set back 1", tail trunk and Roadsmart 3 rubber under it. I'm tuned with the Mountain Runner tune from Shoodaben Engineering, and it runs extremely strong. It pulls the front tire between the first 3 gears of your letting her eat. It's an amazingly fast yet comfortably rideable bike.
I just rode it gre 5:30 at bike but its to much for the city and surrounds, after 5 minutes of riding freeway breaking the speed limits three times i just dont want to go to jail lol.Ill get the updated Mt09sp still spicy but like i said the Mt10 is to much
Been watching videos about this bike for a month, never had a bike before and I'm about to get a similar one. I'm nervous to be honest. The bike is beautiful. Love for the love people.
Thank you. When you get a bike you'll love it. Stick with it and you won't want to stop riding.
it is not a gyroscope that keeps the Tricity upright at a stop , there is an electrical brake disk and pads under the fairing above the front suspension , you probably know this by now but for the benefit of anyone thinking of buying one I thought it best to mention . oh and if you store the Tricity over winter with stand assist locked on and the battery goes flat , you cant unlock the stand assist , don't ask how I know 🤣
Have a good motorbike trip
Thank you, hope you enjoy the content
what windscreen is that?
Unfortunately I don't know, it was on the bike when I purchased it from Honda
@@RevZolution I think it says Ermax on it
I live in Australia and bought a 22 Tricity 300 no-foot brake fitted, a very neat plate covers the place where it is supposed to be. The dealer said the foot brake is not fitted in Australia. Yamaha must have changed the braking system for Australian models as the brakes work well on both hand levers. The braking system is good can't see any need for a foot brake. Been riding all types of bikes for over 60 years. I don't use the stand-alone when riding I use it for push parking only.
That's interesting to read. Thank you for watching and I'm really chuffed I'm being watched from Oz. Happy riding
The foot brake is required in Europe for the Car License for Tricycle regulations (which Australia doesn't have). This is cause car drivers can understand a foot brake by default and that engages both brakes at the same. Its removal is a cost saving.
Must be the year for ferry rides. We are taking the 13 hour ferry to Newfoundland and spending 2 weeks there. Travelling to Newfoundland we plan for rain, hope you stay dry. What a amazing place to visit, have a good safe trip.
Guys, are engines still reliable as in the old good times?
Apparently so from what I was told by Honda
@@RevZolution how many km have you covered (if you still have it)?
i hear the 2024 is not same compatoable pannier racks ; ditto any crash bars !!
Excellent vid..! I've a black sapphire metallic Z4 2.2i 2005, and it's certainly been looked after by myself...! Timeless cars i say for sure.
Thanks. They are definitely timeless. I genuinely think they're better looking than the new ones...I wouldn't mind the interior of the new one but exterior definitely the old one
I do agree, and i think the first generation is better looking than the second too, but that's just my opinion..!
Hey what bodykit is this? Care sharing
I really couldn't say, I just saw it parked up on the street and loved the way it looked
That look is simply brilliant! I love my 2003 but that relatively simple update is awesome. I have two questions: 1. does the front bumper HAVE to come off or did you already have it off for some other reason/repair? 2. I feel like my headlights have always been weak compared to other cars since I bought it (brand new)…Zenons were an option but pretty rare back then and cannot be retrofitted. Do these new lights seem brighter to you when driving at night or pretty much the same?
Thank you. The front bumper needs to come off as there's a few bolts hidden behind it. Its definitely brighter however, the state of the original headlights were so bad anything would have been better. I am however very happy with the result
The Best XSR700 review on YT.
Thank you
I hate those LCD digital displays... Cheap and boring looking, like looking at a calculator screen. I love the circular analogue traditional speedometers
I am more surprised at how basic it is... like if you look at the Peugeot or Piaggio or Kymco CV3, they have fully customised RGB bright screens with GPS/App interfaces. Like if its intended for a car driver, the lack of any GPS interface seems rather cheap for Yamaha.
Hope it doesn't rain.
Bone dry😆😒
Thanks mate, just bought this cover for my new lay z spa arriving tomorrow. Great video thats built me with confidence!
Thank you
