Hi, welcome. I'd be interested in what you found lacking in the Tracer too as I was thinking of swapping the MT, though not for a while yet.

The tracer is an MT09 but different the basic seat height is higher than the naked 09 which for a short arse like me is not practical, Yamaha have introduced a lower seat but I still found it a bit too high and being thinner not very comfortable, the naked 09 has a lower seat as standard and because it is narrower I found I could reach the ground comfortably, also the Tracer has wider bars that I didn't like, within a 100yards on the 09 I felt comfortable and decided the 09 was what I wanted. After riding for over 40 years the Tracer was the only bike I didn't like, my dealer said I was the only person who didn't like the Tracer out of all the demo rides he had given. If you fancy a ride on the Tracer see your local dealer. you might like it especially if you are taller than me but it's not for me.
