Thanks! I am still less than 1000 miles so I have not put a ton of miles on it (I split my time across 4 bikes so they all get moderate use). Regarding vibrations I have not really noticed anything too bad. My perspective may be different that others though. All my bikes are pretty low brow (no fancy bikes in my stable) so your view may be different that mine. On the topic of pumpkins 🙂 .......... if Yamaha had clear lenses in the US, I would have considered keeping them (my Kawasakis have clear lenses and look decent to me). My R3, (old) MT07, and now the Tracer have all been de-Pumkined 🙂 .

Thanks! I have been wanting this bike since last year but I am not fan of blue. I was hoping over the winter they would have a red or black or gray option in the GT. Thankfully they did :-).

Thanks for the Welcome :-). I have noticed a lot of folks doing the radiator guard. Is that to protect from every day stones and pebbles and such? Or is that more for the stray birds and jumping squirrels that may be in your path? Just curious. Thanks!

The short answer is I'm not sure. The exhaust for sure sounds better. I still have the baffle in so it's not crazy loud but it still has a nice deep sound but is just a bit louder when cruising at highway speed. As far as the Flash Tune goes, I have not had the bike long enough and it's still in the break in period so I am not really going nuts with the gas so far. (I think I had 300 miles on the clock when I sent it in for a tune). Also, I only did the tune because I added the Akra Ti Exhaust rather than for the tuning benefits. Compared to my 18 MT07 that I just sold, this bike has lots of zip (with or without the tune/exhaust) so my baseline is the slower bike which means I can't really point at the exhaust or tune to say, ya those are WAY better that stock (that was the long version of the answer).

Hello all, I just picked up this 2020 GT a few weeks ago. I have 400 miles on it so far and really like it. I sold an ‘18 MT07 for this one because I wanted something more comfortable for my wife to ride 2 up. I have done a few mods so far but nothing too crazy. Akra Ti exhaust, 2WDW ECU flash, Custom LED Integrated tail light, TST LED turn signals. So far I am pretty happy with the bike. I will likely look for a fender eliminator at some point.
