Now installing electrical devices, not mine yet...

Had a call from the bike shop at Suzuka that my Tracer GT came. Reached there and found it stripped to do some riding recorders and electrical toll system installed. Have to wait for few more days lol.

Thank you Denis san, That’s what I wanted to hear! So the top speed of cruise control differs by market. I am curious how is this in US market. Anyone??

Welcome, I just signed my Tracer GT (not yet delivered to my garage) and just joined this forum.

Yes, I'm Japan native. Seems there are no others JDM ppl here. Great!! My company have some offices and factories in IL, Kentucky is close. However, I never stationed in out side of Japan.

Just signed to purchase my bike the other day, so not yet heard from a dealer, but there are some Japanese rider's videos on YouTube. It was 107kmh, not 108... Mine is JDM, so I'm curious if there are the same in the US or EU Tracer GTs.

Ok I understood. We have bike inspection every 2 years, so exhaust is an important when gas test. Well I have to wait for another week or so to be delivered, lets see how its different from overseas model. Aftermarket cruise control, we use a huge plastic clip to bind and hold a throttle like this.

Thankyou for the info. This is interesting. But... Ivan only handles "USA & Canada, Europe & Australia" market...

So your Tracer GT don't have a top speed restriction when you set a cruise control? I heard that JDM Tracer GT can set maximum speed up to only 108kmh. I am waiting for my bike to be delivered, I'll see how fast it can set.

Hi, my tracer GT is going to be delivered on 22nd March. It is said that in Japan, factory cruise control has the speed limit not exceeding 108km/h (68mph). Did anyone disabled this limitation? If so, could you tell me how to do it?

We rarely have snow in Mie prefecture, I can't imagine 1.5m of snow!!! Glad you had a place to store bikes. Wish I could have a garage...

Hi roadrash83, Thankyou. My first mod will be ... lose my weight to decrease power weight ratio lol. Actually, video cams for both front and rear will be the first mod. Then sliders and engine guards maybe.

Wow, that's great to hear that. In my youth I lived in Ibaraki, where Hyakuri air base (JSDF air base) locate, close to Tokyo. Unfortunately I had no chance to visit Aomori. Wish I could to see a Nepuda festival in summer. Hope your children enjoyed days living in Japan with good memories, if you have a chance to visit again, you'll surprise to see how different there are now. (checking google map is very convenient, I sometimes do this for fun to see how it changed in Boston) Riding motorcycle in Misawa area seems great in spring to late summer. 60KPH is just a reference! Safe and Comfortable speed is your 60. Btw, how did you keep your bike during winter in Misawa? Didn't you had a lot of snow?

Konnichiwa, Hello phpaul san. Thank you for your service during the cold war, I was born in 1973, perhaps you and I were on the same soil. Hope your bike are still there in your garage. Displacement over 750cc was the limitation which motorcycle companies' voluntary restraint until 1988. And also taking a rider's license over 401cc was very very strict and insurance were also expensive at that time of era. But this license regulation, registration fees and insurance circumstance had changed in 1995, we are now able to own a high power motorcycle with reasonable cost. During 1981-83, I was in Boston MA. Now I don't remember much but I went to Maine too. It was beautiful scenery, enjoyed drive with my family.

Thankyou for greeting. I am happy joining this forum from origin country. Am I the only one member here from Japan native? Yea, my bike isn't going to travel far from Yamaha factory. I live around 150km (94miles) away from there, I used to live the town where Yamaha HQ, 7 years ago that's why I choose riding Yamaha.

Hi guys, just bought 2020 Tracer GT at a local bike shop in Suzuka. Can't wait till 22nd March.
