Looks like you should have bought a Tracer 9. Much more comfortable and the 2025 version has very good lighting and the super y-amt. And Yamaha paint is superb. My tracer 7 looks like brandnew after 8000 km's. The scratches you had on the Suzuki would make me buy never a Suzuki again. Not Yamaha quality.

Very nice result! For example, after 1 hour of ride, you can touch the titanium exhaust or is to hot?

Hey Doodle. I want to buy a new bike either a scrambler 1200 x or triumph tiger 900 GT Pro. I have a 2014 Scrambler 900 now, and love it but no power especially at highway speeds. Any advice on which one or any plans to drive the scrambler 1200 x? Thanks!

Am i the only one who thinks this bike is pretty ugly for a sports bike?

89 hp is not enough in uk roads 😂😂

Thanks for the review. I think the cold Nov day may have hindered your suspension/handling experience. The bike is so balanced and confidence inspiring, I can lean it harder than any sport bike I've owned. So quick, so much fun, and comfortable at the same time. Best bike I've ever owned.

This video popped up on my suggested feed and I thought I’ll give it a watch, instantly recognised your voice and then when you popped up on the screen . I shouted “It’s Reef dork” 😁 you make amazing informative videos, keep up the great work. I’ve subscribed to this channel too.

Are you happy about the PCP deal, would like to know why you went for that option over actually buying the 800DE 😊

Hey, i know its a bit late to ask but how loud is it like that, do you draw atention by cops ?

Great review, I was on the verge of buying it but luckily you have put me off as I have to ride a few hundred miles a week at night and day and on back roads so need great lights plus spots plus comfort. I also do long distances in France at a minimum of 5 hours after the ferry so this is not going to be my next bike.

For those of you confused of the fuel gauge. It doesn't actually measure the volume what is left. The floater measures the level of the fuel inside the tank not the actual capacity. Think of it like a martini glass or an upside down pyramid. The upper part contains the most volume because it has more area. but since the floater measures the level, then the lower part will contain less volume than the upper level. If its an even shaped like a square then the floater system will be accurate but it ain't like that. Most fuel tank had less capacity on the lower half due to packaging reasons for example on cruisers hiding the back bone of the frame running through in the middle lower part of the tank instead of having extra volume for the fuel.

I also have an MT-10 and just picked up an 800DE Adventure as my 2nd. Twinsies! lol

You are a pain to listen to. We call your type, White Bread Winging Poms, Go and Collect Stamps and give up motorcycles ...

Thanks for the tips

Hi have a 2024 model. Lovely looking machine but… totally agree with you. 2 hour ride and real coccyx discomfort. Well, a real pain in the butt. Fine for short runs but as a sports tourer, sorry, but no, px on the cards. Only my opinion and not prepared to splash out loads of cash on a ‘comfort seat’. Looking at the Ninja thousand performance tourer

what a great idea! thanks

nice review mate, what is your height if i may ask and you think a taller or shorter driver will fit better?

Had a DL650 Wee Strom way back in 2006. Was a great little bike, cracking headlight and brilliant fuel consumption. Then progressed to the Bavairian GS. But I still have fond memories of the 650.

A Japanese bike will do ANYTHING except hold resale value....

With the extended tank I get 458 km a tank😊

Have my GT for more than 2 years, and I will drive it until it dies (or I die :-))

I’ve been on these last two pop rivets on the inside of the fairing for 45 min.. how in the hell did you get those free?! I have no more grip strength left in me 😂

Have you try fit with pannier rack

Inner tubes on touring bike is mad

thank you for the detailed review, im currently between a carbon shark and carbon airoh so if you have any review regarding the latter it would be so helpful

Thank you for your candid review. It sounds like something like the Tracer 9 GT or S1000 XR might be a better fit for you.

You seem to be just down the road from me. I have a 1050XT in yellow with Camel stickers

Hows is it lane filtering with the 800DE?

Because you’re just average … no more , no less

Great video. I’m thinking about selling my RR and buying an MT10SP but this reputation for having crap fuel economy is making me think twice. I suspect I may not be doing many long trips on it so it’s more for fun blasts and occasionally doing a couple of hundred miles so it shouldn’t be a major consideration but it remains a nagging doubt. What year is yours and when riding your bike around and occasionally putting the hammer down, how far have you got until the fuel light has come on…

Did u have the db killer on? Great sound mate

Noisy ? Blimey mine’s the best and quietist lid I’ve had, last one was a Shoei GT air and I thought that was quiet ! Guess it depends of course on bike/screen etc….

I've had my MT10 for just over 6 years and I almost always fill my bike at home on a paddock stand. I fill into the filler neck and a little time to get the maximum fuel into the tank. I have the Yamaha Touring screen on mine plus the essential Comfort Seat. Last summer (remember that day) my mate on a KTM 890 and I went into mis Wales from just south of Worcester. my mate had to top up his KTM at about 100 miles but I got back home at 146 miles with the light on. I put back into it 15.5 litres to full. There were stretches into Wales where we were well into 3 figures and generally dispatching lots of cars with ease (as an MT10 rider you'll know just how easy that is). My sums make it 42.8 mpg. Now considering just how much we were getting on with it and the fact that your Gen 2 has slightly higher gearing, I don't think that is too bad at all. Obviously for shorter rides it will be less mpg, but I didn't buy this bike to save money on fuel. I think there have been too many people listening to tales from the Yanks where they have silly little 3.8 litre Gallons.

Thank you for that review. I was considering this bike because on paper, as you mentioned, seemed like has everything. However, seat comfort is something that seems to be ignored by many reviews and I think that is fully off the mark. The seat, as in a car, is an important part of the suspension in the way that it gives comfort/support to the occupant/rider. I have gotten on many bikes and it is immediately obvious to me with i.e. XSR900 for example, that riding that for more than 30 mins, your ass will want an immediate divorce. Sure it will wheelie with a crack of the throttle, but if that is your purpose for owning a street bike, you won't have your license very long. In any case, I have nixed this from my list based on your review and I appreciate the heads up.

You must be short

I cannot understand this report on the gsx gt as being a good one, after reading yr report on it being uncomfortable with bad headlights so u sold it ???

That's almost 1hp in weight savings. I think it's 7lbs = 1hp so that's a good addition ❤

I’ve ruled this bike out purely due to the stupidly small light!! LIGHTS are there to help you be seen, and these are TINY!! So it’s nope from me!

Empty Tank. I like it.

My 2017 MT10 SP most i have ever had from a tank on reserve was 140 miles it really does dependon how you ride them

How have you found the Oxford fuel bottle? I bought one but the thread for the top started to spin when trying to tighten it and it leaked. Oxford did refund me

Awesome! Thanks.

FYI the throttle side cable goes on top because thats how Suzuki designed it and tells you to install it that way in the installation instructions.

My biggest issues with my GSX are the comfort and the lack of headlights. I'm only good for about 35 minutes before I have to take a break. The headlight or lack thereof scared the crap out of me when I had my first night ride trying to get home from a day ride. Beautiful powerful bike and the best handling bike that I've ever owned but the above issues really hurt it.

Jeez 🙄 This guys a bit of a contradiction

Always above all. Think about what you want the machine to do be realistic

It really depends how you ride it, mine 09 is killing me, I never know

That's my main cons with this bike the seat is not a touring seat after one hour your ass can't take it anymore they should have designed a real touring seat for the bike I gave up riding my back, shoulders and ass couldn't take it anymore more goodbye motorcycle world 😢.

To be fair, the accessories are probably cheaper on the European bikes because they are already way overpriced. Most of the accessories should already be in those bikes considering their cost.
