Lev 7 juni sägs det. Sorry for Swedish 😇 I've visited Sweden a number of times. Wonderful place, but unfortunately I don't know the language. Translation? Are you saying the Swedes are lucky ducks getting the GT9 before the rest of us? If so, I think it's time I re-visited my local dealer to get an update.

And it appears that some Yamaha dealers here in Sweden has received the non GT version but the GT seem to be heading in last week of May/first week of June. It's almost time to start counting down the days 🙌🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rlambke19 Posted May 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2021 It's here! I've only ridden it home for the dealership (~30km) but so far all I can say is WOW! Some really quick observations - (will elaborate more later after a bit more saddle time): Smooth and refined power delivery and transmission Exhaust sounds "throatier" - not necessarily louder - but has more "substance" to it New windshield, while better than the one on my 2019, still produces buffeting. At first glance, it looks like my MRA Sport screen will fit - so that will be confirmed shortly. The rider seat feels shorter - eg. you are right up and in the cockpit and with less room to slide back. I think this is good, but will need more riding time to determine. Semi-active suspension in tour mode is very nice - soaks up a lot of bumps! The bike looks WAY better in person - when I saw it for the first time yesterday I was so excited. It looks really, really sharp. More to come... 7 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize being the first to report actually owning one that you are now the popular kid on the block and will probably get flooded with dozens of questions, my first being; fueling, how does the throttle response and on/off 'snatchiness' feel compared to the previous bike? 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
