I think you did such a great job with this song I watch it on a regular basis. Thank you
Aside from the tech demo, you guys sound fantastic! That singing in particular is phenomenal
thanks for the tip i remembered you when i thought about ordering used the link :)
Suzuki's photographer is world class. Stunning images.
Epic 👍
Brilliant 🤣
Will this follow exactly the original track, despite the settings of the Zumo XT itself (fastest route, highways, etc)? Thank you for sharing. I did all this, except I used the automatic route saved in Zumo when importing from the Garmin Drive. Didn’t do the track to trip on the GPS.
I laughed with 🤣🤣🤣
See you there fella
I had the pleasure of riding these roads in 2007! Our trip took us from Dunkirk up through the Dolomites, to Trieste then down the coast road to Dubrovnik! Stayed in Dubrovnik to visit the Old Town and rest up before the ferry to Bari! Then up through West Coast of Italy to Lake Como, back up into the mountains and back! Best thing I have ever done on a Motorcycle and I have raced Supermoto, Drag Racing and a little Motocross! My son now has a bike licence and next year I plan to do this trip again with him!
Sounds amazing! 🤩
Are you playing around the camp fire at the ABR 👍😁
I say it every year, but never have. So yeah, I plan to 🤷😆
@@RichyVida you might get a request if I see you their 😂
I testrode both the R and GT, the later hurt my lower back after about an hour, on the R however, I can ride forever. Ended up buying an R. Also sold my 2021 R1 for the room and funds, which I loved. But too close to go to prison each time I rode it. Also, your ass hurts after half an hour. Very happy with the swap!
Wow!! Excellent...
Loving the video's. We going to the Picos in August, do we need travel insurance? When is your new Picos video coming out.
If you’re going abroad you should always have travel insurance. You never know if you’ll need medical help, and without it, will cost a fortune.
Nice mount for the GPS. But looks like your front go pro is haveing a shaker party :)
Don't waste your time watching this.
I guess you’re another one who’s lost in comedy. 🤔
Good to see you having some fun riding the Tracer 900GT+ , it is a good looking machine with some impressive tech( most of which I probably wouldn't use) however I do wish Yamaha would be more adventurous with the colours , gunmetal grey is just boring in the extreme.
Great video guys. Best green lanes I've ever seen. Im from Australia, where we ride firetrails, dirt roads and tracks between them, so the idea of green lanes seems limiting, but that was awesome. I guess its like anything, you've just got to know where the good stuff is.
Looking forward to seeing you. Be safe
You just did somethinf thst is a dream of mine, which is getting of the saddle and take picture with a good DSLR camera. Kudos! And ride safe... Ish 😊
I can't see how they go from £27,300 for the Road Glide, to £39000 (+43%) for the CVO Road Glide. The underlying engineering looks much the same. Nice bikes though.
Crazy money, for sure! 😵💫
Hi! Where do you put your phone when using CarPlay on the AT?
Stays in my jacket pocket
Wireless dongle then? Looking to get it myself. What is your experience, and which One did you get? 😊 EDIT: Never mind. I found your short :D
Yep, it’s spot on. 👍
I am on the picos. If i see you I will do my best to avoid you 😂😂😂
Ha! Back in UK now si fill yer boots!
Tried it and liked it apart from the looks and the hard seat, bought a Multi V2S, never regretted it and getting the V4 next time, maybe😉
Can't wait mate.
That time when you wish you had a clutch.
Not at all? How would a “manual” clutch have helped?
Slip the clutch and do a table top over it 😂😂
Nice bike, shame about the weather.
Off there in September. Cannot wait!
Amazing quick to the point video!
😂😂👍👍
We are counting down the days and hours, cant wait, see you there.
Looks like a great bit of kit and not a bad price tag for what you get , great review mate
Enjoy 👍 wish I could afford it guys. Maybe next year 🤷🏻
Love my 900 gt. With an exhaust it's frugal on fuel - I average 60mpg. Can get 70 sitting on motorway. funnily the stock GT is more insurance than the GT+
That’s bizarre? Wonder why? 🤷
I hired a Tracer 900 for a few days in the Algarve a number of years back - it was quick, dangerously so!
Great series Richi. It looks like you had a brilliant time. I am quite a new subscriber and working my way through the back catalogue. Do you still perform live music?
All the time, Craig, yes. Thanks 🙏
🔥
I've watched about a dozen reviews on this bike. Yours has concentrated on riding it and so I found it the best. All the others concentrated on the tech above actually what an experience it is to ride. Nice to know I can take a slow bend in top and zoom out of it! Thanks.
How does the hi tech braking system know the road conditions ? Would it apply or override what you were doing on ice or slippery surface ?
For such an accomplished machine, the designers painted it with the ugly stick!
Why I tried it but bought the Multi V2S, never regretted it…better built and just as quick.
11:30 another UA-cam hero who believes speed limits don’t apply to him. 🙄
Ooh it’s the moral police😂
@@IanTed Or it could just be the Police, Police.
I've got the T9GT. Great engine, the sound is very addictive, good handling, very poor windscreen. Very poor finish, thin paint on the wheels in particular. After one winter (regular washing and ACF50) parts of the frame were going rusty, the shock was a mess and anodised parts showed corrosion. I probably won't buy another Yamaha but even if I was going to I would buy the GT over the GT+, way overpriced.
windscreen bad but a puig and an extender and it is great. Mine has 25k miles and 6yrs old, only rust is the brake disc bobbins. Too much salt where you are?
@dreamcrusher112 I use an MRA spoiler on my screen. At least there's no buffeting now. Salt on the roads in winter but my five year old Street Triple still looked like new.
Not sure why you would ever trust a petrol gauge on any motorcycle after that time you ran out of petrol in France ! I’ve never had a petrol gauge on a motorcycle and I’ve never run of gas. I have though run out of petrol in a car ! 🇬🇧
Any tours planned for the VFR rich, Missing the classic VFR tour videos.
All that positive talk about wearing summer gear.... Rain, Get soaked. 😂😁
Haha typical!
like that Rich... nice vlog
Hi Richy, pretty new to your videos, first heard about you on Teapotone’s podcast, then watched your Morocco videos - really enjoyed those btw 👍. Looks like we live in the same area, I grew up in the Hope valley and now live in chesterfield. I have a Tracer 9 GT, awesome bike! Hopefully bump into you sometime 👍, cheers Sam.
A nice short and sharp review of what looks like a good bike Rich. Very slick clothes change in the video too!! Thank you
If you done no off-road riding would you swap Africa twin for it
Didn’t spend enough time on it to make a decision like that. Great bike, though!
another great episode Richi. You certainly have some talent mate. really enjoyed it. Keep doing what you do well.
Thank you, Craig
