- A big thank you to Omega Yamaha 46-52 Dudden Hill Lane, Neasden, London, UK NW10 1DG. The friendly multilingual staff there paired me up with a cracking bike. I've got to say it, I've always thought that sports touring bikes were stereotypically for the older generation.. but dam, how wrong was I! I really could see myself putting in the miles on a bike like the 900gt.

I fall in love in tracer 900 after todays test ride! Just wow great bike, you can cruise ,tour or just smash twisties , great bike
Finally a upload
Great review mate. I own a 2019 900GT and absolutely love it, best bike I have owned!
Welcome back, I hope all is well with you and your family.
Really great bike!! It has everything you would want on a bike. I fitted mine with a black widow exhaust and now it sounds so good!
Except it's a twin?
Great to see you back, Stay safe....
Yeah really great bike bought one back in 2019 just a very competent bike plus comes with luggage as standard 👍 great vlog ATB
I am glad you are back and healthy. Hope everything is going well for u and your family. Can't wait for more videos on moped thieves getting nicked are getting a nice dose of karma
i immediately tapped on the like button the moment you took it offroad
Now I want one! 😉 I agree the front is the only thing letting its looks down.
Great Video and Lovely Bike
Fawk, that's a dope bike. I love the partially naked bikes as they look angry! lol
Nice review! I’m getting one.
the wind hits you in the middle of the helmet! ooooh matron
Great Video! Thank you.
I have one and love it , I have the problem with the wind on my helmet so I put the touring screen on and the comfort seat .
Iwonder if putting some washers (spacers) on the top two screws of the windshield would increase the angle enough to push the wind over the rider.. ???
Yes! I have done that on my tracer and it work really fine for me (1.90 mt) with the givi screen that is only 2/3 cm taller than the stock screen
Great video! How did u get some of that footage?
Great review. The only problem is, I've now got two sodding bikes to chose from!
@@LEGITLONDON Kawasaki Vulcan S. I thought I was a cruiser type rider 😆 Not ridden since I was 15, now on the thin edge of 60, completed CBT and currently getting my road mileage up before taking my full test. Don’t post any more reviews until at least the spring. Two’s enough to chose from at my age 😂😂👍
Turn the handle bars hard to the left and key access is simple. Love my tracer new screens a definite short for day trips tall for touring. Put up with the seat for now.
Nice bike bro never seen such a complex bike 😂
Brilliant review, after testing it could you please give me your opinion on what it's like riding in the city, do you feel its agile and easy to ride in the city?
I have commuted into central London on one for 4 years and it’s as nimble as my previous ride which was a Vespa but much quicker !
Hello. Good video. What's your opinion about the distance between the front footrest and the back? It was a point that users talked about the short distance between them in the "old" version.
@@LEGITLONDON Alright. I asked this because, I listed a lot of people talking about that and were a negative point that they felt in the new location of footrest. Thank you
I've tested several bikes recently and this is probably the front runner for my new bike ......
The others were
Tiger 900 GT Pro
Ninja 1000sx
Versys 1000
F900xr
S1000xr
Harley Davidson Sport Glide
@@LEGITLONDON completely different animal to the others. Riding it is an event that made me actually laugh out loud while riding, initially I thought it wouldn't be practical but the paniers are good and it gets 200 miles out of its tank
Just a shame Harley Davidson build quality lags so far behind the Japanese
Wonderful bike man .Here in greece it's a best seller.The 2021 model looks much better.You should've waited 😂
Hi. Your aero backpack... Couldn't quite get the brand? Thank you.
I was quite close to buying this one, but i went with the Tiger 900 rally pro instead.
Liked it just that bit more.
@@LEGITLONDON General looks, offroad capability and the really big tft screen.
@@deav0n Thats way more $$$ though
What area is that at 4:26
Long distance travel version of mt09 :) Im sure its great bike for that purpose
What is the difference between modus B and B-STD?
how tall are you? im 5'6 and 120lbs. can i handle it?
“I’ve got 5.3 Inches!” 👀 2:33
Legit London meet up???
Why does it look like his handlebars are bent at 3:40?
"you need better wind protection if you're tall"
I'm 6"5 and have yet to find a bike where the stock windshield is sufficient. Or maybe R1250GS, that was the best in my limited experience.
Turn the bars and it's easy to turn the key. How could you not see that? They even put it on the side of the triple clamp for the less smart out there to work out.
What is Your opinion about tyres?
The tires that come stock are not as bad as I expected. But I went ahead and got a nice set of michilen pilot road 5 put on it. It’s just the best tire available
I found the stock screen to be totally useless in either position. And the seat too firm. Other than that, I loved it.
Poor tracer 😒 being used for roads it's adventure brother the tenere was invented for ... It's not an adventure bike ( solid wheels instead of spokes ) should of told you that ...
The Tracer 900 GT is £11,197, not £9,449 as stated here. It’s the base Tracer 900 that’s closer to the price stated.
I have the 2019 GT and I almost immediately replaced the standard screen, seat, bar risers, clutch lever and in a week the standard Dunlop tyres. Those are the only weak points of the Tracer
What screen did you get and are you happy with it? Also, what's your height?
Thanks
@@seanb5888 I got the Puig touring screen with an extra clip (alixpress). The clip is necessary for the last bit to remove the buffetting. I'm 184cm and I have the taller Yamaha comfort seat placed in the highest setting (seat height around 890mm)
Thanks, What tyres did you change to? I looking at Mich PR5's
@@team220s I was in between the pr5's and pirelli angel gt2. I went with the gt2's because I mosly ride in dry weather and according to reviews the pirelli is a bit more sport oriented. Although they are also confident inspiring in the wet.
That looks like my county.. Wiltshire.
Pity it doesn't have led indicators.
“Films a video of a Japanese bike in China town”
@@LEGITLONDON I never said it looked bad, I thought it was quite nice, I’m just saying that it’s ironic because Japan and China are usually compared very closely with each other even though they are really far apart
2021 YAMAHA TRACER 9 GT fixed the 2020 YAMAHA TRACER 900 GT.
You Know you can Raise the height on the seat
@@LEGITLONDON The difference between the two seat heights is less than an inch but it is a noticeable improvement for us tall blokes
It’s really annoying when a RUclips channel has to post their videos twice. Whats that all about ?😀
the key thing is the same with MT-10 yamaha seems like yamaha clones a lot of things with their models i guess that makes perfect sense business wise Harley takes alot criticism for the same thing
@@LEGITLONDON kawasaki does the same with er6n/er6f and versys 650. Every bike manufacturer does that really
Wrong info.
Mode A - More agressive
Mode Std - Standard agressive
Mode B - Less agressive
The suspensión Tracer normal and GT is shit, i changed for Ohlins Nix 30 and Ya35 rear. Now more beeether
Opening background scenery is totally different from Japan... Its... China.
Why is that guy in the background walking with a facemask!!!???
nice review but stop fcking with the volume..
i think the versys is a far better bike , that yamaha screen , are they kidding it is awful and looks terrible
The Yamaha 3 engine is far superior. Plus the Versey sound is milquetoast
I don't understand why all the major manufacturers have taken a big steaming dump on what sports touring used to be about..
All these new "Sports tourers" just look like adventure bikes but without the offroad capabilities. They're dumb, ugly, and pointless.
I took a tracer out for a test ride and just found it genuinely boring. If the tracer had a face I'd punch it.
The new generation of sports tourers aren't sporty in the slightest. Just chucking a more powerful engine in something doesn't make it "sporty"
ZX14R, VFR, Fazer, Hayabusa - those are names of *sports* tourers. Powerful, sporty, comfortable machines that can take you across a continent.
But the tracer.... The tracer looks like the product of several generations of inbreeding.
The Tracer weighs 215 kg without luggage. That's lighter than any adv bike and a lot lighter than the hayabusa or zx14 sport tourers
@@ZH2. yeah what's your point? Or did you buy one and you're trying to justify it lol
