Thank you for the transparent review and not sugar coating the new model and making it seem like a redesign that fixed all the problems. That happens a lot on other's reviews.

@andrewprice1189 3 года назад

Watching Neevsys videos has saved my sanity here in lockdown in Melbourne, Australia. The absolute best, hope he gets paid well!. Woudnt buy a new bike without listening to his opinion which i reckon is the ultimate compliment.

@motonico79 3 года назад

Funny - I found the screens clear and easy to understand, and pretty intuitive to use. Regarding the ergonomics, I have to agree about the screen - it's not that great. However - the general seating posistion, the relationship between the seat, the bars and pegs suited my size perfectly. I'm 182 cm and 90 kilos.

@maldridge7630 3 года назад

This review is not that honest and candid. I think Neevesy is quite a likeable-y intelligent man, surely he noticed and was disgusted with that one headlight look - but then why did he not mention it?

@exothermal.sprocket 3 года назад

Lights are very subjective in appearance. You have to look at the overall styling and judge it as a cohesive thing. To do that well, you have to see the proportions in-person with the naked eye and at many different angles.

@byrdsfan4585 3 года назад

Great to get what seems to be an honest balanced review. Thanks!

@gsxrjarrod 3 года назад

California Scientific windscreens made a huge difference on mine. The plastic is much thicker so in doesn't wobble as much. It makes the wind noise much less. And get the ECU flashed by Ivan's Performance.

@ApriliaRacer14 Год назад

Jarrod, question for you…I test rode the 2022 Tracer 9 GT…I felt it skiddish when pushing it in the corners…do you feel that? A bit unsettling when hammering it out of the corners.

@gsxrjarrod Год назад

@@ApriliaRacer14 No, my bike is very planted. I would think you might need a suspension adjustment. The 2022 has electronic adaptive suspension. Mine is manual adjustment. Tires make a huge difference. The stock tires sucked. I've run several different tires, but absolutely love the Bridgestone S22 tires. I bet it's the tires.

@jamesdonoghue5907 3 года назад

Good honest review, thanks. I'm not into adventure style bikes...had a couple of Multistradas and tried them with a range of screens, and found the Pikes Peak screen to be the best (more wind, but cleaner air). I much prefer a more sporting position - my Supersport S was far comfier than the Multis for touring. But I digress...this 9GT looks good, and I like your longer review videos.

@jackrabbit8703 2 года назад

Thanks for the review I did an Iron Butt on a 2019 Tracer 900. Full t rex bars and skid plate,, Kaoko throttle lock. Did very well. I'm no spring chicken anymore and the bike did the job in style. I always wear ear plugs on any bike so the wind noise was not that big an issue. I would recommend the bike for any serious tourer.

@brunostudley2191 3 года назад

Honest review and spot on.👍🏻

@MrJulianbowden 2 года назад

Great vid , always amazed me when manufactures list fuel range, I have a 2019 gt and use it mostly back and fore my house in south wales to my partners house in Portsmouth (158 miles) a full tank gets me 3/4 of the way there, I'm also just over 6ft and your right, the noise is pretty intense, in comparison to the 2017 tracer 7, it's louder and I've gone from being able to ride 3 hours non stop to around 1hr45, before the numbness and wind blast forces a Greg's coffee and walk around 😀.

@phillipbatho3213 3 года назад

You described the older version perfectly (I have one), it's amazing how much quieter it is when I stand up away from the screen going down the highway. I trust what you say about the new one. Shame about that silly dash, but I wonder if there could be a solution for the windscreen.🤔

@dougiequick1 Год назад

Here is something I wonder about. IF all that noise is the result of a nearly verticle screen? Then why oh why would manufacturers not simply move the base of screen far forward allowing room to angle the top of the screen at a far mor sloped angle? I realize this would dramatically change the entire appearance making a bike look radically different than anything else on the market but hey what works IS what is beautiful to many of us

@simasb2468 2 года назад

Perfect review! Though I am still lost whether I should by standard or GT version. What would be your advice if use bike for weekends short- mid tours and city commuting? Thanks in advance! Simas

@sighheinrich 3 года назад

As a previous owner of the "old" 900 GT, I agree with the wind screen being the biggest reason why not to buy. You need a test drive at least! The MRA windscreen with deflector worked for me, but it's not perfect.

@matthewwhite7891 2 года назад

Great review. Am really waiting for you to review the new XSR900 - any clues on when you’ll get your mitts on one? Cheers

@QuickShiftMoto1 Год назад

Two things I did to my 2022 T9GT is a Vcyclenut ECM flash and changing the front sprocket from the stock 16 T to a 15 T sprocket. This 6% change in final ratio made it a whole different bike in terms of sprightliness and rpms are only raised by 350 rpm from this change. No difference in mpg is noticeable and the bike tops out in 6th gear now instead of 5th. Also starting fully loaded in 1st is much better with this change. The windshield is crap. But MRA's vario touring screen completely transforms the bike and eliminates that issue.

@njdoughboy 3 года назад

@brucekendall52 3 года назад

@DanDude2905 3 года назад

Perhaps by fitting a really short, stubby screen it would improve things. A mate of mine did that to his KTM SA and loves it now.

@larifari4371 2 года назад

I really like how you mind the windscreen noise! Its often overlooked and riders damage their hearing. The Z1000SX is out of reach for its really flat mounted screen. The Yamaha GT now could rather be compared to the new Honda NT 1100. Have you ridden it and how is the screen? THX!

@tahirsharif9461 3 года назад

Good honest review. What’s with only a single spotlight working on the right? Is that some kind of weird driving lights thing, or just a bulb out? With the GT you’re also in the ballpark of a Tiger 900 GT Pro - that would seem a better comparison than the Ninja 1000.

@matthewjackson3034 2 года назад

Had the SX, now got the new Tracer. I like both bikes for different reasons, SX looks, Tracer practicality and that engine. 😀 Saying that, I'll probably go back to a Kwak in a few years when the PCP is up.

@Erelyes 3 года назад

Great review Neevesy. I have a 900 and as a taller bloke have found a few flaws in it. The pillion peg position is atrocious (waaaay too close to the rider's pegs). The screen is noisy (I have put the smallest one I can find on it and just live with the wind). And the total weight capacity was bizarrely low. Seems like the new one adds some more fruit but hasn't really fixed the fundamentals.

@alexm6340 11 месяцев назад

New Tracer gt plus is quite a nice step up with the switchgear, the new screen, adaptive cruise control etc, obviously a further £1.8k but if you use it as a tourer it's 100% worth it, basically a multistrada v4s light for a lot less money. Wider/better screen as well, I'm 180cm and I find it very nice.

@derivedsolution1 2 года назад

I've had my 2021 tracer 9 gt since October. I agree the seat is uncomfortable after a few hrs. As for the screen, I'm 6ft 2", changed the stock screen for the Yamaha touring one and its made a big difference for me. But everyone is different so I'd just say if ur thinking of getting one just get a test ride. It's a hell of a bike for the money. Goes like stink when you want it too. Handles, looks gd, I think!, does 50mpg ish.. only down side is stock exhaust looks rubbish and not many options at present to fix that.

@racerdaveracerdave 3 года назад

This was a great review. I especially liked how you talked about your height and how the bike worked for you. I'm an inch or two taller, so that's important to know. The main bike I want to own next is the 1000SX, so that comparison was super useful. Thanks again.

@markbishop8151 3 года назад

Suspension great, quickshifter good, brakes adequate, engine... well, it's all relative, but coming from an MT10 it's just a little wheezy and underwhelming.
