Asked my dealer when he will get the 2017 MT-09 in stock, he said maybe the end of this month or early January so my name is down for a demo ride and if it is better than my 2015 MT-09 I could be tempted to upgrade, the only problem is I don't like the colours that the uk is going to get.
Just idling away a bit of time and thinking what next summer might bring.
I've done the four compass points of the island and also the five KRC Challenge Venues and was running out of ideas where to ride too in Ireland.
I'm contemplating my own Little Long Way Round. It's not actually as far as...
Nothing crazy in this one just some footage from a ride out up through the Cotswolds on a great sunny day...

Have found myself to be the proud owner of a new MT09 Street Rally after 10yrs on a z750 and I'm rather excited!
I was visiting a patient at home, saw this awesome bike in his neighbour's garden, discovered my bike dealer had one in stock, test ride a week later, purchased the day after...
Hi all,
Just joined as looking at change from my F800GS and thinking about Tracer.
Test ride booked PM and British summer time is in full flow - torrential rain and wind ;-).

After enjoying a couple of great rides on my Tracer over the weekend, I've noticed that the screen height adjuster knobs are working loose.
Anyone else had this problem? I re-tighten them, go for a ride only to find they have slackened off again.
Hi all
My name is Steve and I have to come clean and admit that I have been riding BMWs on the road for the last ten years.
Now that I've got that out the way, I can say that after a recent test ride on a Tracer I was hooked.
I already have two BMW GSs, an 1150 & a 1200, and had considered...

Lovely road this but was blowing hard , one slip and over the side to several hundred feet drop.
Just great to be out on a bike roads like...
Hopefully this will load, not all that interesting, but you will get an idea of the roads I ride.

Just received my Tutoro oiler today so that is a must do job , also Givi quick release tank bag brackets to mount, a replacement rear hugger extender. The last one fell off after the first ride out, this one will be bolted on .I am still waiting on my tank pad to arrive.
Still to arrive front...
Hey Guys,
I've been lurking around here for a while now, gathering information on the Tracer to help in my decision making process.
Have to thank you for the amount of info.....didn't answer all my questions, but gave me enough to make an informed decision.
I've been riding for over 8 years...
I have had my tracer since april and covered 3000 miles now, the fuel average on the instruments constantly reads between 62 and 63 mpg, I have just returned from a touring holiday around wales and had three tankfuls at 67 mpg, I think this is amazing, I don't ride very hard and tend to short...
Collected my MT09 on Wednesday, and went out for my first proper ride today
Thought I'd give my impressions after 110 mile ride through the Yorkshire Dales
Impressed with:
50+ mpg, but I was 'running in' (of sorts) and didnt put it into A mode
Easier on my wrists after coming from a CBR600RR...
Greetings all.
Just joined the forum as in the market for another bike & the tracer is on my short list. Got a Tiger 800 at the mo'
Had a test ride on a tracer yesterday and it has a lot of good points. Tried std & A modes and could feel the difference. Engine is very good & pulls more like an...

Well I'm the proud owner of a 2014 MT-09.
Jumped on a train for a 4.5hour ride to view the bike, bought it and rode it 288 miles back.
What an absolutely joy to ride, does everything with ease.
Some suspension work to be carried out and an Akropovic race system ordered!
Pictures will follow.
