    Fuel range ect

    Actually got to use my bike as the manufacturer intended and enjoyed every mile. I brimmed the tank and rode 193 miles, on refueling the bike took 17. 20 litres which equates to 52 mpg. I think I would have been pushing the bike to the garage at 205 miles. What warnings do you get that it is...

    UK price Wigan Yamaha are advertising new Gt @ £10-495 for June delivery. Mate of mine looking at tiger sport @11K this is for a bike that was made when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Yamaha comes with 3 box luggage / heated grips and tft screen. IT'S A WINNER.

    Lozzo love the c90 in the UK you really have at to have owned used a c50/70/90 before you can call yourself a biker, I passed my clipboard old style bike test on a c50 fitted with 70 head barrel and piston. Contrary to what some say the cub series are motorcycles not mopeds. Versys 650 GT wins...

    Yamaha MT 09 Tracer radiator guards?

    I believe that a radiator guard is essential on a MT 09 and probably any motorcycle. Yamaha used too agree as my 82/LC 350 came with one from the factory also miss the self cancilling indicators but apart from these items the MT 09 is everything the classic Elsie was and more.

    Are 3 wheels better than 2?

    In answer too original post in the U.K. I would suspect you could ride it without a bike licence as its not a motorcycle. Not even a cbt required in my personal opinion this is brilliant in a country that requires a licence to do anything finally a bit of freedom. Never know it could lead to a...

    Hello from North Wales

    Stunning pictures and a beautiful bike many happy safe miles. I too had a tiger explorer and some aspects impressed especially roll on overtaking power but I'm sure my Tracer offers similar performance. I also had the additional spot lights fitted worth every penny and the genuine Yamaha heated...

    Yamaha assist rac brack down

    the only reason bike manufactures offer breakdown/rescue cover is so that you don't phone them or there dealers when problems occur, reckon stop'n'go tyre plugger would have had you mobile in 15 mins. and if it failed how much have you lost, good luck hope things get sorted.
