I have a 2019 GT and love the bike apart from some really annoying niggles, which I assumed bothered many ie:
Thumbwheel on throttle grip
Daft location of ignition barrel
Fuel gauge segmented from full to half
Heated grips not having a dedicated button
Buttons not backlit
Forward sloping seat
Wind buffet from screen
I was REALLY looking forward to the new Tracer and assumed that most if not all of those flaws would be fixed. I won't know until i ride it about the seat and screen but the fact that the other points haven't been addressed is seriously disappointing. I will back to back test ride it against the Tiger 900 but at the moment, despite the Tigers' engine not being anywhere near as exciting as the Tracers', I suspect that my next bike will have a Triumph badge on it :(

Thanks for the tip with the handlebar clamps. I took a new 900 GT Pro for a ride a couple of months ago. It is probably the easiest bike to gel with I have ever ridden and feels very sorted but ..... I came away thinking 'if only it had the Tracer engine'. I really hoped that Yamaha was going to make the new bike feel as polished as the tiger while keeping the devilment of the engine. It appears that it is real missed opportunity for me but I hope a test ride proves me wrong
