Best effort by any manufacturer to bring a well thought out retro looking bike without a matching stratospheric price tag! Excellent 44Toother review as usual Boothy 😎
I somewhat agree but they would have to make it even more expensive. Now you can buy the bike, ride it for a year and then order the race package for example. But yea, I do agree, it sure makes it looks real proper.
You make an interesting point. I initially thought that this would be targeting older riders like me that grew up on 80s and 90s bikes, and it certainly will, but you may be on to something with younger riders also finding this appealing; the Gen Z types that are fueling vinyl album sales, wearing their Zeppelin t-shirts, looking back to previous eras with a nostalgia for something they didn't get to experience.
I think this misunderstands why Gen Z likes retro stuff. It's a rejection of mass produced utilitarian stuff. It's a desire to own something unique with a story behind it. This bike doesn't really do that.
"It wasn't like octopus and chips " They are such heathens over there. Not having octopus with chips is like not having wagyu steak with tomato ketchup.
Honestly Boothy, you're great at this. Started with a casual vlogging style, charismatic, interesting, and entertaining. Final piece to the camera felt like it could either have been watched or read in article, articulate, informative, opinionated. Most other reviewers round out with something that seems very much for a magazine but is lifeless on camera. This brought both worlds together flawlessly. Top job! Can't wait for the next Boothy vid 👍
Loved the old analogue foam backed gauges which made the conversion to fully race mode easier by removing the speedo clock, taking all the plastic fairings off and replacing them with fibreglass after all the lights and mirrors have also been removed. Thinking 1988 - 1998 RGV-250’s in (for me) the Australian 250 cc Production Series, when these were the only mods you could make (apart from using different sprockets per each track). Geared longer, combined with an uphill start on the grid at PI just made the first corner a bit more “entertaining” especially if you bogged the little 2 strokes down when the lights turned green.
Boothy, best of all in this video is hearing your voice together with the sound of a motorbike. I'm so glad for you, getting back on bikes, I can't even tell. Great bloke you are, inspiration for all the ones (including myself), who are struggling in life to never give up. Take care of you!
Boothy is a f great presenter. When I watch his reviews I know that I'm hearing 100% authentic information from an Isle of Man racer. It gives me chills every time. 44 teeth Rocks. Frontiness is a word.
Boothy - great review. Bang on with your observations. Like you, I also need to find 12.5K reasons to buy iy. Its a belter and good on Yamaha for building it
I love this. I own a gen 1 XSR900 (19) plate with a Velocity Moto 900LC kit on it and upgraded suspension and its the best bike (of 30 or so) that I've ever owned, Nice to know there's an upgrade path if I ever feel the need to sell it. The GP looks amazing, bet no-one wanted the black one lol Props to Boothy, great to have him back.
That is basically the bike I've been waiting for. Time to sell all my leaky old TL's and ZX7R's and the like. I love them but I just want to get in the garage and take the bike out when the sun pops out, not have to fanny about wondering if it's going to start for 2 hours, by which time the suns gone and I can't be arsed any more. I need to make one of these happen
Dudes like I am with steps, I remember the days I skipped steps the whole way up and down to sometimes. That all ended with my first ACL major tear and meniscus damage. I’ve never fully recovered and can never run again. I learned that when I saw my wife fall and ran to help her up and screwed my knee up for a few weeks doing so.
Great review and love this bike - it strikes me as a proper passion project and not just a cynical marketing exercise. Little details that will cost a load of money but really make it like the screen frame etc
Great test Boothy, I am with you 100% about these interfering modes on modern bikes. I paid over £300 for track mode on my SDR and thats where it stays rain or shine. Having said that my teenage daughter is dying for a go so I will be utilizing rain mode briefly, gorgeous looking retro machine and who doesn't love Neil Mac Kenzie
Thanks Boothy for answering my one question about the riding position. Not going to be suitable for me. Sucks being old. Going to have to settle for MT09. Cheers mate.
“I’m shit around right corners, prefer the left one” - Love it! As you’d still be quicker around right corners than 99.9% of all road riders, luckily Philip Island Raceway was my home racetrack back in the day! As I understand.
I genuinely think this is such a cool looking bike - the yellow/red/white colour scheme is immense compared to the black/grey, but I think there may be some scope for other retro colours later on...
Spent more time looking at the leathers than the bike I think 😂 fancy! Great to see Boothy back on the channel, first class. Cheers lads, looks an interesting bike for sure. Be interested to see if they bring out the R9 now or just stick with this, an R9 would be very similar by the sounds of it.
I was searching for the 44t review already some weeks ago. Others did it first, but that doesn´t count. Right on the spot as usual. Boothy, i would not know why i need MCN and others when i can have you talk me through it.
Nice review Boothy, and I'm with you on those bar end mirrors 😞 If I bought one those would have to come off and some more retro style fairing mounted mirrors found.
Happy this bike exists because I’d wager on a spreadsheet it probably wouldn’t make as much sense. Funny enough the only design cue I really don’t like on the bikes that inspired this is the front fairing bracket 😂.
Only things I don’t really like about this bike are, should be fully faired, proper mirrors and longer seat hump otherwise very RD 500 looking (which is not a bad thing)
Boothy when you mentioned you wanting to become and endurance racer i got flashbacks tot those 125cc 24h race videos you guys did. Any chance we'll see any of those again this year? They were among the best of all😂
Really like this bike from Yamaha. I think it would've been a lot cooler with an old school dash like the ones on the old rgv's a bit like Kawasaki's z900rs. Not a fan of these modern TFT screens.
Nice review sir, appreciate you leave all the random general comments in rather than taking them out, makes it feel like an actual ride rather sterile review
Looks are subjective. I'm late 20s and this bike looks hideous to me. But I never pined after bikes 90s bikes when I was a kid. I wish theyd just release an R9 supersport. All black no gimmicks.
they should have done the mirrors like the 90s fzr400 , would have completed the look, hopefully they do more bikes like this with 90s styling cues. i like the tzr style bolted on front side fairings too! and the fzr600 single daytime running light. the lower fairing/bellypan would be cooler as a standard item.

All us TEETHERS are proud of you buddy from where you was not long back to be back on the saddle again is really inspiring
Your a true GEEZER
No matter how hard things get and what ever life throws at you just close your eyes and channel your inner BOOTHY
For a long time I didn’t want to be here anymore and do you know partly what got me through was watching 44s videos
The whole team feel like family to each other but to the audience as well
Do you know what I’d love
To get all the TEETHERS together and go on a round the world bike trip everyone together would be awesome
And I’d just like to add Statham and Perkins between you guys and Boothy you have brought smiles and laughter to my life when I didn’t think it was possible anymore
I will always be in debt to you guys for that
Xxx
Stick in mate 👊🏼

@@nickward7251 nae bother bro 🙏🏻🤙🏻
Brilliant to see u back, Boothy. Love the new leathers.
Gives us all hope and courage to face the difficult times.
Best effort by any manufacturer to bring a well thought out retro looking bike without a matching stratospheric price tag! Excellent 44Toother review as usual Boothy 😎
Wish they had put the FZR's twin headlights in tho, but hats off to Yamaha for actually offering this in the first place.
I love this but yeah some big round lights would look good too
Would have been badass.
I think it would cool too but that’s the thing, it’s part FZR, part TZR, part TRX, part YZF500. The headlight feels very TZR250 to me!!
That would've been perfect, combo of GP and endurance racer.
@@patw9175 I've always preferred twin headlights on a bike, makes night riding less stressful too, if one bulb blows, you still have some light.
Man the "race package" should be standard. It makes the bike look whole.
I somewhat agree but they would have to make it even more expensive. Now you can buy the bike, ride it for a year and then order the race package for example. But yea, I do agree, it sure makes it looks real proper.
I like the 90's crashed sportsbike look. The end can is a necessary detail tho.
I think the can and fairing lowers look munted. Much better with a half fairing
I'm a simple man, I see Boothy and retro 900's and I click "like".
😂😂👍👍👍
Same here, he said we'll, and I pushed like 😂
Followed your advice.
👌🏻👌🏻
Love Boothys little comments “what you lookin at!?” 😂
You make an interesting point. I initially thought that this would be targeting older riders like me that grew up on 80s and 90s bikes, and it certainly will, but you may be on to something with younger riders also finding this appealing; the Gen Z types that are fueling vinyl album sales, wearing their Zeppelin t-shirts, looking back to previous eras with a nostalgia for something they didn't get to experience.

@@Omar411269young guys love the MT09's though. Cheap as chips and an absolute hoon machine. Not warp speed fast, just pure fun.
All of a sudden, Boothy has become my favorite bike reviewer.
Love a Boothy vid!
"It wasn't like octopus and chips "
They are such heathens over there. Not having octopus with chips is like not having wagyu steak with tomato ketchup.
The lower fairing and exhaust kit is an absolute must, probably should have been included as standard
So much want. Please, please bring it to the US.
Good to see you back Boothy!! Looks like a nice bike too. 😎👍🏍
Absolutely stunning machine ,subjectively one of the most aesthetically pleasing machines out there
What a great looking little bike. Nice work Yamaha, it's nice to see there's still love out there for the modern retro-classics.
Now I can finally learn about the xsr gp
Honestly Boothy, you're great at this. Started with a casual vlogging style, charismatic, interesting, and entertaining.

This just became my new dream bike. Wow the racing package makes it look incredible

I don’t care what boothy is reviewing, I’ll always watch it cos he’s so good and so entertaining.
I agree. I’d watch a video with this guy reviewing hamburgers. Dude is hysterical.
Boothy, best of all in this video is hearing your voice together with the sound of a motorbike. I'm so glad for you, getting back on bikes, I can't even tell. Great bloke you are, inspiration for all the ones (including myself), who are struggling in life to never give up. Take care of you!
That is a very pretty bike. I just wish it had a beautiful big set of round headlights up front. Very entertaining review as always from Boothy.
Best looking bike in years. Nice Yamaha!
I’m a simple man, I see boothies, I click like
Same
Amen
Think you were riding a different bike to me! 😂
Loved your review Chops. 👌🏻
i'd like to see what a TZ250 seat unit would look like on that , good review Boothy
First thing I thought too! (Al)
Fuckin Boothy! Glad to see you still thriving my man!
“Failure to pay attention can…” Yeah, right. Click. 😂
Boothy is a f great presenter. When I watch his reviews I know that I'm hearing 100% authentic information from an Isle of Man racer. It gives me chills every time. 44 teeth Rocks. Frontiness is a word.
Can listen to Boothy jibber jabber about motorcycles all day. 👍

Incredible how Boothy has got back to the stage where he can ride bikes again. Couple of minutes in..."Ooh sh*t?!". 😁 Cracks me up this guy. #44teeth
I'd definitely be interested in the fairing lower.
Dudes like I am with steps, I remember the days I skipped steps the whole way up and down to sometimes. That all ended with my first ACL major tear and meniscus damage. I’ve never fully recovered and can never run again. I learned that when I saw my wife fall and ran to help her up and screwed my knee up for a few weeks doing so.
Awesome Review and such a great viewing. Thanks so much Boothy! Awesome as ever!
This is a great looking bike. Don’t know why there are two versions… race pack is far better and more finished. Good to see you back on bikes Boothy👍
Needs mirrors on the fairing, I think.
Love boothy 😂 looking at the number plates thinking why they got a p on there why they got them in from Poland ….. oh wait we are in Portugal 😂😂
I have an 89 TZR 3ma1 (Marlboro) Yamaha and I can see the styling cues in the triple clamp. Nice one Yamaha 👍
Great review and love this bike - it strikes me as a proper passion project and not just a cynical marketing exercise. Little details that will cost a load of money but really make it like the screen frame etc
Great test Boothy, I am with you 100% about these interfering modes on modern bikes. I paid over £300 for track mode on my SDR and thats where it stays rain or shine.

Absolutely in love with this bike and begging Yamaha to bring it to the states!
Niall's boys know their way around a racetrack, too!
More Boothy please, what a legend.
You would have to go all in and have the race kit version …superb
got the xr900. mirrors are fine no issues commuting or filtering
Honest review Boothy, I have watched a few reviews on this bike…guess the best 🎉
I wish we could get these in Canada. I just adore how cool they look.
Thanks Boothy for answering my one question about the riding position. Not going to be suitable for me. Sucks being old. Going to have to settle for MT09. Cheers mate.
“I’m shit around right corners, prefer the left one” - Love it! As you’d still be quicker around right corners than 99.9% of all road riders, luckily Philip Island Raceway was my home racetrack back in the day! As I understand.
I've been waiting for the review from you guys!❤
Very nice presentation. When I had my FJ-09 I thought this motor would be good in a sportier package. I’m inclined to think, this’ll do!
I think the rims on the malboro one should have been done black like the Rainey era to make it look a bit more badass, still looks great though
Don't care for the bike but I watched it all because Boothy is the star 😅
Some analogue clocks would look mint of this.
Edit* Ohhh, first time i've seen it with all the extra bits on it. Love that lower fairing.
I think the bike looks great. It's not the bike for me at my age and the way I ride now, but I am glad they brought it to market.
I genuinely think this is such a cool looking bike - the yellow/red/white colour scheme is immense compared to the black/grey, but I think there may be some scope for other retro colours later on...

I love the look of this bike..including the Iron Man front light.
Very bold of yamaha to bring this to market 👏
Not really. Sold out
I used to live in Estoril and have eaten in that same restaurant! Love Portugal.😁
Ahhh finally the review on the GP I've been waiting for
"Engineered a bit of bounce into it" and I immediately knew what he meant 😂😂
Cable clutch too! Makes it easy to convert to one armed riding.
44 Teeth should do an event called " Come and have a Beer & Chat with Al, Chris & Boothy" where you just tell the tales of the motorcycle world!
I was searching for the 44t review already some weeks ago.
Others did it first, but that doesn´t count.
Right on the spot as usual.
Boothy, i would not know why i need MCN and others when i can have you talk me through it.
Nice review Boothy, and I'm with you on those bar end mirrors 😞 If I bought one those would have to come off and some more retro style fairing mounted mirrors found.
Nothing better than people from the UK complaining about food.
Love you Big Booth!
Looking forward to this one
Boothy absolutely fuck:'ng rules. No mcdonalds or toilet breaks. No nail varnish. Legend.
Those old ladies and kids where amazed at your leathers, the bike was secondary....🤣🤣
Joking aside, I love it
Awesome review and a fantastic looking bike, don’t think we will see to many of them here in Australia
Happy this bike exists because I’d wager on a spreadsheet it probably wouldn’t make as much sense. Funny enough the only design cue I really don’t like on the bikes that inspired this is the front fairing bracket 😂.

Great review. Really well presented. Full of all relevant information and a bit of entertainment afded on top.
Loved it thanks.❤️
I really like what Yamaha has done here!
Except it looks partly disassembled without the bottom fairing and rear can 😅

Don't think they'll sell many black ones
Truth...makes me wonder why they bothered. Maybe a Yamaha Blue/Orange/White might work.
I saw the black version and this one looks better.
You guys passed me several times on your test runs 😁😁
Nice review sir, appreciate you leave all the random general comments in rather than taking them out, makes it feel like an actual ride rather sterile review
I'm sure there's a niche category for you somewhere on OF Boothy haha. Top review as always!
Love the look of this bike. Sadly also don’t have a spare £12.5k at the moment 😢
I got 10 minutes into the video before I remembered Boothy only has one full leg! Big respect!
The dark one is a piss take. The mid-oughts murdered-out look needs throwing in the sea.
I found it, found someone that thinks this bike looks bad. Was a KTM fanboy on MCN's video, guy called me old for liking the bike, Im 19😂
Looks are subjective. I'm late 20s and this bike looks hideous to me. But I never pined after bikes 90s bikes when I was a kid.

@@Omar411269 subjective? Yes, but people like you seem to be the minority, most people like 90's bikes and love that Yamaha did something like this
@@bernardoberner4 I'm happy for yall. And patiently waiting for an R9 🙏🙏
So I’m gonna say it.
It looks absolutely fantastic except the rear cowl is too short. There I said it.
I don’t think it will once it gets a proper tail tidy on it. I think the standard plate holder makes it look worse.
Worth watching for the old school rev counter impersonation 😂
Great vid! Get on Boothy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
''I'm SHIT at right hand corners '' Said the man with no legs.
Twelve and a half is a lot of second hand gixxer.
Always great to see Boothy!
I like the look of it in black, but the red/yellow one looks like an Iron Man tie in.
Nobody going to comment on the absolute straight of the sky..? We've just accepted this is normal now it would appear
They need to offer this to us North Americans. We love retro classics too!
Great to see 8oothy back on here 👍👍 can’t believe you didn’t take you chef Goerge with you 😂😂
they should have done the mirrors like the 90s fzr400 , would have completed the look, hopefully they do more bikes like this with 90s styling cues. i like the tzr style bolted on front side fairings too! and the fzr600 single daytime running light. the lower fairing/bellypan would be cooler as a standard item.
