I've been riden Tracer at my dealer's, didh't test rode it but i sat on it.
So, the driver's seat is about 3cm higher than 09's, wider and with more foam.
The passenger's seat has lots of foam but seems cheap in my eyes, meaning stiches and cheap material. Allthough the passenger's foot rests has longer arms so his/her feet will touch the footrests on more naturrally angles. Also, there are big passenger's handles. In conclusion its much more comfortable than 09 for sure.
When i rode it i remembered my previous V-Strom... its mass is about the same mainly cause of the bigger tank.
Handlebars seem to me same height as 09's but about 2cm wider each side.
Mudguards looking solid but without protection from wind/cold.
Most of all i was like the new swiches, which are much modern than 09's with (+,-) for TC !
On the other hand wheels, brakes, suspension, frame, engine, radiator etc. are same as 09's with the exception of the beautyfull "face" with led lights, witch seems to me half Fazer/half Super Tenere..
And the center stand is low but also provides some protection at the exhaust can..
Finally, Tracer's price (abs standard) is in Greece 9,990 euros + 120 euros for lisence/plate.
Wind-screen seems like copy of Tiger800XC.
Shape of digital instruments screen seems old fashioned IMO.
Here riders thought that is the Triumph Tiger's 1050 opponent.
P.S. Tiger 1050 is the most favourite and best seller "superbike" in Greece from 2010 till today.. ( in Crisis Seasson)
Hope this helps
