Nice vid quality and shooting - good ride. Do you not have any words for us about how much you like the bike?

Thank you. That was literally first 4 minutes of me sitting on that bike. I was getting used to it in that video (was riding ST RS just before sitting on AT). Hm, the bike is huge ... that was my 1st impression. The sitting position is very high. Despite being a big bike it still rides very good in corners. I was positively surprised actually. You sit really upright and the bike has really good wind protection. The bike has decent power and torque, but does not pull like crazy. What I really liked was the automated manual transmission (AMT). While riding with AMT turned on in twisties, you can fully focus on the corner technique without having to worry about downshifts before the corner. That was quite nice and enjoyable.

Does accelaration/torque feelings close to Tracer 9? Now I am on T7, and it must be more happiness on the road on AT. But what about power comparing to yamaha? Thanks bro

AT is not even close to Tracer. Tracer 9 is in another league and pulls way much better.

great quality, what camera do you use?

GoPro HERO12 Black. I filmed in the 4K setting, it also supports 5K, but then video files get too big :)
