Hi. This forum came to my attention and especially this topic because I have a big decision to make. I have owned FJRs for nearly 20 years. Currently on number 4. Use it for touring long distance through Europe each year. But the tracer has caught my eye. I have a test ride on Friday. I could keep both, but have to be honest. I can only ride one bike at a time. It's looking positive for the tracer, but feeling afraid to move on from a very old and dear relationship with the FJR. I have come to terms with the downsides. Smaller tank, no electric screen, chain (argh) and the answers here are very helpful. The main thing I noticed sitting on it is the leg position. Feet felt a long way back. So that is what I shall be looking out for. I have long legs and don't want to compromise there. Anyhow. A useful and informative thread. Thanks for the insight.
