Dear Rob Thanks for sharing your experience about the I4 compared to the CP3. Really useful. I've heard very good thing about Kawi engines being buttery smooth. Going back to the Tracer, great to know that pretty much everything that is stock suits you well, windscreen different story. I think I can live with replacing it if I do not like it (either stock or Puig) since the bike comes with everything that I need. For the price, he has a few listing (one at 11k and another 11.5k). If he is gonna let me test ride it (and I like it) and accept 10k (10.5k cap), I'm going for it. PS: that is what I thought, as mentioned before I'm afraid I will let go my CB650R.

Thanks for sharing your experience I think the 650 is a bit too small, most likely the 1000/50 will perform better in so many ways. I can find many available, from 2014 to 2018 with low mileage, at a very good price, but it just does not convince myself like the Tracer or the Tiger do. I guess we all change tastes and needs along the way. Like I'm afraid it will let me go my naked bike in the near future, bc the Tracer it's a good all around bike.

it is in somewhat and somehow the touring version of the MT 09, maybe the stretch is in the longer swingarm 🤣

Thanks a lot for the info If it is only under acceleration, that's pretty normal. My bike vibrates even when cruising. Even better if the stock springs are fine for my weight, at the moment no pillion, but for sure panniers and/or top box.

Yes, every bikes is different for each one of us. I will test them before pulling the trigger, I might find my self going for the other 2 bikes 😅 Thank btw, I'll keep you guys posted.

Hi Thanks for getting back to me I'm considering the '18/19 Triumph Tiger 800 XC/XCA (triple engine this one as well) found a few in between $9.000 (XC, base model) and 11.500 (XCA, fully loaded and this one is a super deal), the 900 is out of my budget. This is probably the one that could eventually win against the Tracer. Also considered either the Suzuki Vstrom and/or the Honda Africa Twin. Obviously completely different bikes, more adventure oriented compared to the Tracer. I also would rather stay in the 800/50cc range. Suzuki offers either 650 (too small) or 1000/50, Honda only makes a 1000cc for the AT. Considering the brands, Yamaha (also Honda and Suzuki) is much more common here in the US than Triumph, and for sure less expensive on labor costs and maintenance (even though I'm capable of pretty much anything on motorcycles), spare parts are easier to find, these factors could be a win for the Tracer. Kawasaki is one of those brands that I do not like at all, the look does not fit my taste. I know it's reliable, but I would not like it. So I guess it also comes down to tastes. And for the price, I thought the same, I'll wait and see if he drops it, and make him a offer. What do you think about vibrations? any negative experience to share? or is it good?

Hello Everyone I'm looking into the sport touring world, and the Tracer 900 GT is in my top 3. I've heard very good things about the CP3, torque always available and very reliable. Currently owning a sport naked bike, which I'm willing to keep for short and fun rides. I live in Nashville, TN I'm 5'9" 160lbs My main concerns are: any vibrations on handlebar and/or foot pegs from the engine? my naked bike is a 650 inline 4, sometimes my hands and feet go a little numb. wind buffeting with stock wind screen? is it bad? do you suggest replacing it with a wider one? How good is this bike in terms of comfort on long trips? (like 9 hours straight, with gas/food stops and legs stretch) Do you recommend the comfort seat? For my weight, do you think the stock springs would do just fine? (I'll be using the panniers and top case, so fully loaded) There is a guy in my area that is selling a 2019 GT, ridden 4.300 miles, with givi ST605 5LTR tank bag and Yamaha 50l top case, puig racing windscreen for $11.500 It looks spot on, do you think it's a fair price? Thanks in advance
