SEEING AS YOU CAME FROM THE FZ07 TO FJ DO YOU EVER MISS THAT LOW END TORQUE WERE YOU COULD LOFT THE FRONT END WITH EASE   OR IS THAT STILL DOABLE ON THE TRACER ?

I mean now that I’ve had the FJ and also an MT10 to keep it company, I don’t really miss the 07 much (if at all). I have plenty of torque on the FJ. I’m not a wheelie guy but the front wheel always wants to kiss the sky. What I miss most about the 07 is the lightness of the bike, the growl of the engine and super light clutch (FJ09 is great on the clutch though, MT10 is heavy as hell). Oddly enough I’m thinking of trading in my 10 for an 09, nothing beats the triple motor for urban riding. I’ll never get rid of my FJ, ever. Best all around bike I’ve ever had. Unless it’s for a new TRACER GT....

I use one from the Hondo Garage for my IPHONE XR. It’s expensive (100$- ish) but After losing a phone to a cheap eBay mount, I’ll never take the cheap route again. I’ve done thousands of miles with it, held rock solid. Only works for horizontal orientation though. I moonlighted as an event paramedic and used it on my ATV for outdoor events and never had an issue. 
 

The perfect squeeze bar mount. 10/10 for me.

West side for me, magnolia/Ballard area of Seattle!

What a switch! You'll have to come back and give us the 6 month review of your 390 and if you miss the FJ. Cheers! Nice color on the 390!

I've never been a fan of full systems. I put on an M4 slip on as supplied by 2 Wheel Dyno Works. The little puppy rips and sounds amazing with the Fjs motor. 

Seattle, Washington. Right in the middle of the big little city. 

You. are. going. to. love. it. I live close by, we can take a ride and you can see what an FJ09 tuned up by 2WDW feels like if your hesitant about letting those gents fix her up. 

I recently sold a 2018 Thruxton R for an 2019 MT10. I loved the Thruxton but it always seemed so...caged up and refined. Definitely the prettiest motorbike I ever owned. When I'm rich and live the good life (never), id be open to owning another Triumph. Never had any problems with her in 5k miles. One of the few brands I wouldn't think twice about dropping thousands on. 

I lane split on my '17 FJ09, at stop lights. it does get close at times but so far so good. I don't find the bike cumbersome at all in stop and go traffic which is a majority of what I ride in. Like what everyone says up above though, your SV is gonna be hard to compete with in terms of that kind of commuting. Overall fun factor, which I think is priority number 1 for any and all motorbikes, will increase dramatically. I always found the SV to be... underpowered which is a shame because its super nimble.
