Welcome to the forum, some great/fun roads here in Ohio to enjoy.

It's time for me to move on.

BIG congrats on the Vette, you got a great deal on a pristine like classic. I too am starting to enjoy the fruits of my hard labor and sacrifices in life.......bring on the toys!!!! -
Congrats, I am also a former Strom 650 owner and 2 previous 1000's.......the Tracer is so much faster and more fun to ride. ENJOY!!!
-
I love riding in that area, so many good roads and then a quick bridge crossing over into WV.
-
That makes some sense, but perhaps they could make one higher tiered model with a price to match? Kind of like what Yamaha has done with the MT-09, when compared to the MT-09 SP. Kind of surprised Yamaha hasn't done that with the Tenere 7, in particular since the outdated Super Tenere doesn't sell so well these days. That engine in your bike is worth buying just for that reason alone, but I understand that both the Yamaha and Suzuki parallel twins are pretty nice as well......but Honda nailed it.

That new MT09 SP sounds like a helluva fun machine!!!!
-
Any shortcomings are always in the eyes of the beholder, but factory cruise "for me" is now something I can't ride without. Doubt there are alot of people that buy motorcycles and keep them dealership stock for long, and that was occurring long long before forums. I really like the Trans Alp overall and it should be a homerun for Honda, sounds like you are liking your choice of machine as well.
-
I am still floored that factory CC isn't an option.

Roughness and noise at low throttle openings

I'd be buying the entire basket and whatever else is needed for replace/swap and button back up. -
The 3 letter agencies are not our friends or allies........we need to realize that more and more.

BAD ASS.....what year is that? -

I will NEVER ride/own a trike or in particular that abomination called the Spyder.......2 wheels only, or it's convertible time. -

Time for a sporty convertible, good wishes and farewell sir!!! -
Who is wearing a neck protector?

Less is more for me, my Aerostich gear is light and my helmet is carbon fiber. Riding a motorcycle is a gamble no matter how well you are geared up, but the least amount of weight or restriction I have......the better. -
WP is the choice of KTM, my buddy has a great suspension on his 790 adventure.
-
Isn't it also a CANBUS wiring system as well?
-
+1 on a good bath/polish........can be immaculate under that grime, but the grime being gone tells it all.
-
Sorry to hear that my man, that is certainly a bad run of luck and you're dealing with it best you can......getting older aint for sissies. I hear about alot of serious cycling injuries both on and off pavement, IMHO it's much more dangerous than riding motorcycles.
-
He just said a 19, so I assumed it was the 19GT and not the regular tracer. Yeah I wouldn't be making that deal were it me, the regular Tracer is missing alot more from the GT than just ride by wire CC. But big congrats to the OP and welcome back to the riding game, that's still a fabulous scoot just for the engine alone.

I was 202, now I am at 175 "so I have lost 27 pounds".......52 years young and overall in the best shape I've been since a much younger man, Lifestyle changes can go a long way, in particular when doing it a bit at a time so the body adjusts naturally. My problem is the opposite of yours, my gear is hanging off me now. 😂
