Hi Just got back from a test ride of the new Tracer.
First the fuelling is perfect in all modes better than the yamaha up date we have by far.
The suspesion is spot on big improvement there will be no need for new shocks or springs.
The seating position and seat is very comfortable.
Drive s very nice around the city.
The bars shake a bit when over 200 kmh because of the wind hitting the hand guards but nothing too bad
Bike also looks better in real life.....
But
The wind noise from the new screen ruined the fun and i tried all 3 different positions this would be a deal killer for me i think the MT 09 is also more fun to drive than the tracer
The MT09 is raw and tracer is calm and comfy but depends what you want ....
i was waiting to see if i would trade in and the answer is no i will instaed up date the MT 09 with new Ohnlis Fork Cartairge which i just ordered 1500 euro fitted and some heated grips love this bike to much to change...

If you want a TDM replacement it sounds just the ticket.

Yes they look a good bike and will suit alot of riders,
at the end of the day we all know how much a cracking engine its got.
But not for me ill stick with my MT and have lots of wheelie fun and surprise a few sports bikes on the twisties.
