Hi all.
Generic new user introduction guy here! I'll be getting a new-to-me 2018 900 GT in Phantom Blue on Tuesday. Best part is that it's done less than 1000 miles, kept extremely well. So it may as well be new.
Coming from a modest line of owned bikes, and a huge stack of bikes ridden; This is bike #6 and unique make/model ridden ooh... 204 or something like that (Yes, i have a spreadsheet. No, i feel no shame). Previous bikes, last first:
2013 Yamaha XV950 / Bolt
2015 Kawasaki Z1000SX
2000 Honda VFR 800fi
1998 Yamaha FZ6 Fazer
2000 Yamaha Virago 125
Had to ditch the XV950. Cool looking bike i customised a lot, but work moved and the bike couldn't handle the roads/speeds, and my back couldn't tolerate the... uncomplicated... suspension and ergonomics.
The Tracer came highly recommended by 2 co-workers, both mechanics with years of experience, so i listened.
Won't be customising this one as such, more covering it with crash protection / getting security fitted / investing in a high quality dual camera install etc... List as long as my arm, but that's part of the fun, right?
