Now we just need suzuki to do a gsxr750 dressed in rgv 500 bodywork and a cbr600rr dressed in rothmans nsr500 bodywork.

Yamaha please please bring this to the US!

[LambChopRides]

Thanks for the shoutout matey 😁👍 Yes I found it pretty comfortable 'for a sports bike'

[vintagedesmo]

Bring this to the USA and I WILL buy one!

I checked out one of these at the MCN show, on Sunday (16/02/2025). Absolutely loved it. So many neat old school touches that just screamed RD/TZR. The finish is wonderful. Been nosing around at something sporty and thought I knew what sort of thing I wanted. But this is a real curveball. Can't wait to test ride one.

I don't understand why they won't sell this in the US I want one with full fairings 😢

[lifeatredline]

Yamaha, this is needed in the USA. Take my money!

[gkbkansas]

Yamaha USA please give us this bike in the States !

[metalheartmachine]

This is such a nice change from the transformers/bug look of the last decade. Enough all edges and pointy things.😊

[timaurus]

I can't remember the last time I fell in love with a new bike. This is something special.

[SportRider]

Congrats... you are the first reviewer to take off the solo seat. Everyone forgot to mention the seat and passenger pegs.

[howardmckenna]

As someone who has a soft spot for the old TRX850, I could really go for one of these. I can see a visual symmetry there. And a spiritual lineage too.

[Arabeon]

Thanks for the video. I only hope Yamaha change their mind and bring it to the US

[rstrakovsky]

Such a cool concept. Sportbike for the street, a little retro styling, but pure modern componentry and sweet motor. What's not to like? Criminal that Yamaha won't bring it here.

A greeting from South Korea. And excellent review, Carl. Looking forward to seeing your long term review as well. Cheers

Yamaha has saved the cafe racer genre and made it interesting.

[dgreer]

Love the black and grey version. Reminds me so much of my old black and grey FZR 400 in the same color. Though at 66 years old not sure how my body will cope with the seating position..guess I'll just have to pop another ibuprofen.

Still loving my Velocity Moto 900LC, based on the Gen 1 XSR900, always said I'd never sell it. Love this almost as much! That CP3 is superb.

[HelloJamesBond]

Absolutely love what Yamaha have done here! Taken a risk and designed a bike that’s very interesting. Far too many bikes have conservative styling but this is just awesome! I love it 😍

[SherKhan-bkes]

Stunning photography and filming 🤩
I‘d leave the exhaust (cos of the sound) and just add a Belly-Pan.
Thanks Carl for such a great review,
