Just a note on the adjustable windshield , I think that riders over 6 ft notice a slight improvement in buffering however, I added a windshield extension and that was a huge improvement .

[@BikerTorque]

Yes, I have heard the extender makes a difference.

[@paulbarnes6124]

Glad you mentioned advantages of shaft drive on opposition, many testers overlook this

[@BikerTorque]

For me, it's pretty much a must have on any type of touring bike

[@stevevisscher1350]

Signed for mine this week. Can't wait!

[@BikerTorque]

Nice one, enjoy.

[@azjeffs]

I've never known Ross to not enjoy Japanese design. Learning a lot from this channel

[@BikerTorque]

Right on!

[@RoadsOfOz]

Definitely a practical bike. But one you probably won’t look back at once you park it.

[@BikerTorque]

That’s probably a very accurate assessment

[@lr_spb]

While it might not win any beauty contests, it definitely outshines the KTM .. Every time I park my 9GT, I can't help but glance back and contemplate if it's time for just one more quick spin 🙂

[@hjmoto]

I think the bike looks beautiful! Sporty looking and not too big. I will definitely be looking back at it. Especially after I put all the aftermarket products on it when I'm done.

[@BikerTorque]

@@hjmoto what aftermarket parts are you adding?

[@hjmoto]

@BikerTorque My wife and I are looking to buy this bike next month. From my experience with owning a 20' MT-10, I plan on adding different adjustable levers, chain tensioner blocks, a 520 conversion kit sprockets with a gold EK 520 3D GP chain. Replace the front screen from Yamaha that's taller and better shaped. And of course, frame and axle sliders. And a full Akrapovic exhaust system with the ECU flashed. Maybe other things as well but won't know until I have lived with the bike first. Once the stock tires wear down, will be changing them for Michelin Road 6"s.

[@geekylucas]

Always enjoy your reviews, even for bikes that don’t really suit me. Thanks folks. :)

[@BikerTorque]

Glad you like them!

[@simondepass4647]

Get mine in 5 weeks, can't wait!!

[@BikerTorque]

Enjoy.

[@hachewie]

I test rode a Tracer 900. One of my absolute favourite bikes. I wish I could have bought it. If the pillion comfort was adequate for us, I would have bought it.

[@BikerTorque]

Can't comment on the comfort of the pillion seat on this one, I think Tegan said it was OK, but she was only on it for about 20 minutes

[@hachewie]

@@BikerTorque Mary-Anne and I are not your average sized couple. 😉

[@dudyhuang2296]

You guys look awesome in front of the brick wall !!

[@BikerTorque]

Hey Dudy, thanks, but is it really a brick wall, lol

[@user-hu2mw9lt2x]

Yamaha... I agree with the observation that a shaft drive would elevate this bike. Had a 2019 Tracer 900, have a 2022 Tracer 9 GT, would trade again if a shaft was available.

[@BikerTorque]

Yes, it’s the only thing this bike is missing as a serious touring machine. Still a great bike though as is

[@ChrisSauer-oe5ve]

Drive shafts are for cars 🤣

[@BDHO73]

I think this would look better without the panniers. Handy to have them though.

[@BikerTorque]

Definitely looks better without the panniers

[@skotty1962]

I would rather have the Tracer 7, considerably cheaper at $15,999 Australian pesos. Comparison video? But, if money didn't matter. . . well who knows.

[@BikerTorque]

Haven’t ridden the Tracer 7, but based on the engine, even though we really liked the MT07, both LAMS and HO, the triple from the Tracer / MT / XSR 9 range wins hands down. Total hooligan machine.

[@RecklessTurtle]

Forget the bike. Those boot laces make me nervous. Get some proper biking boots please...

[@BikerTorque]

They are actually motorcycle boots, but yes have addressed the laces issue. Thanks for watching

[@Peter-wc4kr]

Nice bike but too expensive for most riders.

[@BikerTorque]

I think if you are in the market for a new sports tourer then the price is justified.

[@aligntrex700e]

BMW S1000xr. 53 more h.p and only a touch more expensive! I've ordered an M1000xr 😂

[@BikerTorque]

Didn’t include that because we haven’t ridden it yet, but based on our experience with the M1000R i would suspect we’d love that one also. Hoping to get one for a ride this year.

[@aligntrex700e]

@@BikerTorque Fingers crossed you get a ride on one. After owning the S1000xr I couldn't resist the temptation of the M1000xr with the full 200+ h.p engine. I have a ducati streetfighter V4SP atm but the suspension is back breaking!

[@BikerTorque]

@@aligntrex700e the engine in that whole R, RR, XR range is superb and surprisingly for a 200+ HP bikes very easy to get on with. I’d have an M1000R in a heart beat, a) if I had the room in the garage, and b) if I had a spare $40K AUD floating around. Enjoy your new ride, fingers crossed we get one this year.

[@aligntrex700e]

@@BikerTorque Hopefully should arrive in May. You could borrow mine but I'm in Melbourne 🙃

[@BikerTorque]

@@aligntrex700e lol, you never know. Im actually heading to Melbourne next week on route to Tassie, reviewing a BMW R1250RT

[@whatsstefon]

I didn’t realise how much electronics are packed into this. Wow. Definitely not for me. Definitely old fashioned. That engine is a pearl though. Oooft! Those panniers are such an odd shape. Big, but useless. Insert your own metaphor here.😂😂😂

[@BikerTorque]

It’s surprising how well the electronic rider aides integrate, honestly you don’t realise they are there.

[@whatsstefon]

@@BikerTorque that’s definitely a good thing. Unobtrusive. Yes! I’m still very much of the old fashioned mindset of having too many electronics, too many computers, too many things to go wrong.

[@dougiequick1]

WHY in the WORLD would anyone want the extra weight and complexity of a powered windshield ? LOL...seriously?? Like how often would you even change it? I almost never change mine I mean WHY? It is EASY anyway....what a dumb thing to nitpick

[@BikerTorque]

Actually the powered windscreen works really well on the BMW R1250RT. Thanks for watching.
