Re the Tracer.
I concur fully with the last poster. (UK V Strom 650) If you want a two up mount I would respectfully suggest this is not for you, BUT my take on it followed a lot of what I have read, and seen on line, about the Bike.
The saddle gave me a sore arse after an hour. The screen was like a handkerchief in front of you.
These things can also be sorted for not too many pounds (as I have done with my V)
The suspension (I asked about it on my return) was really stiff and that was factory setting. The engine I thought was a peach, I have owned Tigers before and ridden 3 pot Bikes in my past. Very smooth, and really powerful.
If you are a solo rider you can certainly address the screen ( I see many online aftermarket ones from usual like MRA ) and Yamaha do a comfort seat.
The hand guards were really weird, actually massive !
What I also noticed was at 60mph you were ticking over at 4K revs. 70 mph you were doing 4.6K revs approx.
I felt a tingling through the bars at various revs, but in town it was so easy to 'pottle' in traffic in a high gear, and open it up when the road clears without working the box.
I enjoyed my 'play time' with the Tracer. I am grateful to the stealers who want me to trade my V Strom for one. When I rode my bike home after being on the Tracer I certainly preferred mine and do not entertain a change. I had so much more room, leg room, better riding position. Most things were better, but perhaps the engine on the Tracer wins. Luggage is also more problematic on the Tracer, but other issues can be sorted.
Yes, I can see why so many people shell out ones hard earned on it. Certainly better than a Tiger 800 ??
