    Really hope we get this in the U.S....... I've been anticipating an R9 forever but i'd buy this in a heartbeat as I love the classic styling and it's a little more comfortable than a true supersport.
  • @kugangles9860
    You're right about the belly pan completing the look. The bike almost looks unfinished without it. Super good looking bike. I hope they bring them to the states. Might get me back on a sport bike again.
  • @jamest5149
    At last a manufacturer making a ‘themed’ / retro bike and looker but didn’t go down the budget suspension, electronics, fit and finish. Well done Yamaha. They should do a R1 based bike ‘themed’ retro bike.
  • You ride that, and I will keep riding my 1976-RD-400 !! It’s absolutely glorious, and I hit 105-mph yesterday with more to go!! The 70’s were epic!!! Long live the 2-stroke!!
  • @richarde26
    You hit the nail on the head: I was in the dealer yesterday lusting after the GP. I get why e.g. MTs exist, but they don't grab you by the heart - I wouldn't turn back to look at one of those after I parked up. If I had a GP I'd be walking backwards, couldn't take my eyes off it, or the crowds it's bound to attract. As great as it looks on camera, it's awesome in the flesh...
  • @SteveBrigden
    Reminds me a lot of the TRX850 - which is a good thing in my opinion ❤
  • @MouldyPIX
    Love it, absolutely love it…but a Yellow and Black Kenny Roberts replica may be even better!
  • @churchofbrap876
    Please thumb up this if you want Yamaha to bring this sexy thing to the US!! 👍
  • Best launch video. Thanks for the enthusiasm and details. Paint close up was really appreciated.
  • @nickh8296
    As someone who hero worshipped Eddie Lawson, Wayne Rainey etc back in the day, who rode a TZR 250 ( then an RGV) I absolutely love this bike. Not sure the misses would be quite so keen though 😔😞😞.
  • Honestly, the design looks almost like a carbon copy of the lines of my 1993 FZR 600. The tail is a bit more up and square but the side and front profile are 100% FZR 600. Love it.
  • Thanks Chopsy! Been waiting for you to test one! As a 50 year old it brings back great memories of my first road bike. One you mentioned in your introduction. A TZR-250. What a bike. Having ridden dirt bikes as a kid I remember the very first corner I took I put my foot out just out of habit to realise on l’m now on the streets. Interestingly, at 189 cms I don’t remember it being small. This is one bike I’m looking at buying this year. 😊
  • The half-fairing version looks like the 90's Ducati 900 CR. This needs to come to the US, ASAP!
  • @mickl8212
    I toyed about replacing my 2003 R6 with something like this, but after years of more and more speed cameras, dash cam wankers, roads getting crowded. I fitted a ABM raised handle bar conversion. Now I have the comfort of a sports tourer but the handling of the R6. I can ride for hours now at road legal speeds and not have any sort of wrist or arse pain. Combined with the quickshifter, total cost inc bike, 4k. That's a winner for my. I'll spend the 9k I've saved on some trackdays and holidays.
  • @shadowred1980
    I can't remember a bike that had the interest round it that this one did. Glad it's lived up to that. Great stuff. Thanks for the review.
  • @michaelhart5886
    Love it. Only thing i would change is the headlight. Would of been great if they made it with the twin headlight design from a 93/94 fzr1000
  • Very very nice.... beautiful machine....I agree lower fairing looks best. Nice one Chopsy...from a 61 year old 👍
  • Yamaha, Please Bring this bike to US!!!! I’ll buy one in a second. I also own 2023 XSR 900 and love the bike
  • @MrAndrew1953
    I think I'd go the Stealth Grey/Black to avoid getting pulled over by the constabulary all the time. Ducati had a lovely black and gold colour scheme back in 1979.
  • @NMart88
    im in my 30's and i love this type of look, i dont know why theres only a few newer models that i like but when i look to a bike from the 80's and 90's that what makes my heart beat fast 😅 this is on my radar, but then again i saw the new CBR 600RR and love that look. But this bike, love it, so beatiful.
