Sounds like fun. You have discovered the joys of being retired 🙂 When a nice day comes around I can just up and go ride. Don't have roads like that though. Now the downside to being retired, getting older and ....
Being retired's great!

Excellent choice.
You really didn't want the Beamer.
A long time ago when I first started riding, a mechanic told me that "a loose chain is a happy chain". That has worked for me for 44 years.

Hello from chilly Brentwood California.(Hey, its chilly for us) I picked up my new 2022 Tracer 9 GT on Valentines day and put 950 miles on it in three days. I hadn’t intended to buy a Tracer, I went into to buy a BMW 1250 GS. I just got back from an Edelweiss 7 day tour of the Canary Islands riding the GS. Incredible adventure and incredible bike. But, I’m standing there and I just couldn’t make myself spend 30k for a motorcycle. The saleskid says take a look a this Tracer its got a lot of similar features and feel free to take it out for an hour long test ride. Well, you know the rest of the story and it was half the price.
Stuff ordered for the Tracer already:
Givi 6 liter tank lock bag
Aluminum Alloy Double Ball Handlebar Ram Mount – To mount phone and radar detector
Heli Bars with brake line adapter
Auxillary Power Outlet Splitter Plug Kit for additional driving lights
Fork Mount Brackets’ for driving lights
I’ve put aftermarket pipes on every bike I have ever owned. The Tracer is the first bike I don’t think I will need to put an exhaust on. It just sounds perfect all the time. From idle all the way thru the rev range.Other bikes in the garage:
1986 Yamaha SRX600
2015 Kawasaki KLR 650
2019 Vintage Electric Tracker E-Bike
2022 Cyrusher XF900 E-BikeThis forum has already been very helpful with the shared information. Thanks for everyone’s input.

I just picked up a new 22 9 GT last Wednesday and have already put 650 miles on it with 3 rides. And I just noticed the same thing. It's not loud it's just noticeable. I doubt it's an issue. This is supposed to be a very reliable motor. Ducati's make a similar racket, but those are dry clutches.
