Hey guys , new member here.
Today I finally got a new Tracer 900 GT, it will be my second bike.
The first one I had was ktm duke 390, I had it for several months, put 3500 miles on it, however as I am a 6”1 190lbs guy , the bike started to feel quite underpowered on the freeways where I do most of my riding.
I am mostly using my bike for Long touring, going from San Jose to Big Sur, Bakersfield , Vegas etc and sadly with the KTM after an hour riding my lower back was hurting thus I got the new bike.
now my concern is that this would probably be too much of a power/ size jump so I was hoping I can get some tips/ insight on it before I pick up the 900 tomorrow .
How is the handling/ cornering?
How Easy is it on low speeds and will it’s power blow my mind off ?
Anything specific to be aware off?
I probably should have went for a 600-700cc bike, however given how the value of my duke was about 2000$ less when I sold it than when I purchased it, I figured It’s more practical to straight up go for the bike I want and plan on keeping for the next few years.
Thanks ‘
