  1. I have a Neotec 2(bought this year) and it's certainly the most I've ever spent on a lid. For me it was all about fit, or rather what I could find to fit my gigantic head, the Shoei XL ended up being the right fit, it's odd as previously(many years ago) an Arai L was perfect. I haven't tried on an HJC but the RPHA series aren't a whole lot cheaper than the Shoei RF series

  2. Several rides and a commute into ownership and here's some impressions:

     

    • Great engine, it really spins up fast and I need to get used to that coming off an old heavy twin
    • It's so nice to sit high and see traffic when I have to be in it.
    • Excellent handling, it really feels planted in turns and begs to roll the throttle on.
    • Panniers are a weird shape and won't even fit my 14" laptop(that sucks beyond words)
    • the seat needs something, both settings have you too tilted forward.
    • The quick shifter is a thing of beauty and has ruined me for all other motorcycle experiences. It's the most convenient coming to a stop where I can just keep off the gas and just tap down on the shifter.
    • I still need to figure out drive modes and the manual mode
    • so happy to be off of the Harley on and on the Tracer9

  3. Hi All,

    Newb to the forum, I've been tossing the idea around of getting a Tracer recently and it's become a full obsession and I'm ready to pull the trigger. Decent deals can be had on the previous gen(2022) model and it's sounding good. I have a long history with bikes and did some club racing on an FZR400 back in the day.  Stoked to ride something comfortable with some power, handling, and tech.
