LOL, I have a Hyundai Veloster and my 70 and 80 year old friends all have issues getting in and out of it. Me, I just lead with my butt fall onto the seat and bring my legs in. Turned 74 this year.

You will like it. Great bike and I don't miss my old FZ-01 much.

Exactly. No Trike or Spyder for me, a Miata sounds like a good idea if I give up riding. (A 3 wheeler is very impractical for me as I live in a condo with limited parking and expensive.)

If you're interested I have a set of SW-Motech frame sliders that I'm not using since replacing those with crash bars. I'll be in Toronto the second week of June.

I ended up getting the SW Motech crash bars and lights for my 2021 GT.

It doesn't just bolt on but it does have supporting arms that attach to the frame. It's a very solid mount.

When I purchased my 2021 there were no Yamaha rear racks available so I bought the SHAD rear rack which is so much more supportive than the Yamaha and it opens up to a large variety of SHAD top cases, who also makes the Yamaha cases. So I have a 45L case for long trips and a 34L case for around town and short trips.

I have a 2021 with very little vibration, if any.

The OEM signals are retained with a plastic clip that is sometimes a PITA to install properly. Check to see if yours is on correctly. Non-OEM will differ by the maker, some clip on others are held in place by a nut.

Unless your helmet is an XXL it should fit but there's a trick to do so, you need to put it in upside down. My Nolan modular with the SENA 50S on the side fits in. As mentioned above, the 24 is virtually the same as the 21-23. I have the SHAD 45L top case on a SHAD rear rack.

Yes, I have both the SHAD SH45 and SH34. The SH34 fits the SHAD SH45 base but the SH45 does not fit on the SH34 base. The SH34 base is smaller.

Correct, the mounting is different for the SHAD and Yamaha racks. BTW, even within the SHAD product line there are differences in the way the top cases are mounted. I suppose you can dril the Yamaha rack to bolt on the SHAD mounting plate or rig something up.l

No top cases or racks were available in the USA when I purchased my 2021 T9 so I ended up buying a SHAD 45 and rack for the T9. Got it right away. Since then I purchased a SH34 top case and the SHAD click lock 9L tank bag. I was browsing at the dealer last Monday and they have a 2024 T9GT+ on the floor. Well I just had to throw a leg over it and found that it comes with the comfort seat as stock. Hmmm, it feels good and supportive of the sit bones. So I asked if I could order one for my 2021, however, no comfort seat is listed in the USA. On a hunch we checked the accessory list for the 2024 and the seat is available in the USA so I bought one. It's mounting is identical to all T9s.☺️

I've been using Radian moldable ear protection for about ten years now. They are like epoxy where you mix the two components together and insert in your ear, they set and retain their shape. Easy to use easy to clean and cost only $20 or so and comes in different colors.

I changed from the T32s to Michelin Road 6 in the rear and Michelin Power 5 on the front due to an ordering error. Rode from Chicago to the Blue Ridge and they seemed to work well in the Twisties of Tennessee and N Carolina.
