Yamagun

I was considering a v-strom.  Checked most of the boxes for me.  In the end, I knew I wouldn't likely be off roading so decided on the tracer.

Welcome to the forum, Had similar experience when I brought my bike back from the dealer. first 100 miles was nice ,then I reached the motorway and thought "Shit Iv'e made a mistake" as the noise became unbearable and my head was getting battered about. It took a Puig touring screen to fix it.

Thank you!  I'm glad I researched this issue before getting the bike!  I will definitely look into the Puig screens!

Welcome!  I'm in PA also. I used to ride when it's that cold, the older I get the warmer it has to be. For the noise, Do you use earplugs?

Thanks!  Before this bike, it's been about 5 years since riding.  Forgot the ear plugs!  Will not make that mistake again!

Hello,  Found a good deal and picked up my 2020 Tracer gt today.  Road it home about 1.5 hours in 30-35°f temps this morning.  Heated grips are great!  Windscreen not so good!

I was originally only looking for 1000 and 1200 cc bikes.  Really glad looked into this one.  I'm 6'2" and 245lb.  This handles amazing and is very comfortable (other than the wind buffeting at 80mph).  Probably will need to also get a quieter helmet in the near future.

Be Safe!
