Actually not new rider, as I’m 80 years old and have been actively riding since I was 22 years old.
raced 100 mi enduros, then at age 50; changed to LD touring and endurance riding. Bikes of choice have been the 03 FJR, THEN TO THE BMW R1200RT.
Switched to the 21 Tracer looking for something lighter, smaller than the RT.
Only about 1500 miles on it so far, longest ride was to the Vintage days at Barber and back, about 800 miles.
Love it so far, in general. Don’t love the dash. Too much busy stuff. Who needs 13 options for heated grips.
and the accessory plug in only has a 2 amp fuse????
any way , hope to gain some insight and knowledge from the group. I’ll be doing all my own service, so always anxious to learn from others
