Inquiring minds want to know, what will replace the Tracer?

I'm getting a Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer. I had a GT Pro loan bike when my Tracer was in for service and loved it.

I have decided to trade in my 900 GT for another bike. I feel bitter sweet, sad that the Tracer is going, but excited for its replacement.

It has been a fantastic bike and never let me down. I will miss most of it, but not the menu selector wheel, that thing deserves a special place in Hell.

I will have a few things for sale as soon as I get organised (MRA Vario Screem, Puig short screen, stock seats and an ABBA Skylift).

Although I have not contributed very much at all to this forum, it is an excellent source of Tracer knowledge. 

Take care all.

@Travster Thanks for that.I'll have to start looking out for one (don't seem to be many about, lots of adverts, but 'out of stock').

Cheers

My local dealer ordered it for me, along with the matching pillion seat. It came from the Holland, I think that is where the main Yamaha parts/spares hub is for Europe, though I could be wrong.
 

Both seats arrived at the dealer within a few days, but when they checked the packaging they found an issue with the heated seat. It looked like it had previously been fitted and returned. My dealer was straight on the phone to Yamaha and arranged for another to be sent. Can’t fault their service and commitment. 

Good luck with your search

Welcome @Travster, really interested to hear how the heated seat works out as I've been trying to decide whether to get one or not. As I'm a shortarse I'm particularly interested in how much (if any) the new seat raises the seat height.

Sorry for the late reply! The seat is approximately 1cm higher than the standard. 
Comfort wise it’s ok, I’ve done a couple of 1.5 hour rides and it’s feels better than the standard seat. Apparently they take a fair few miles to break in. 
The heating is awesome, having rode through two Winters previously on this bike, I wish I’d had it fitted when it was new.

I’ll let you know! It should be with me on Friday and I hope to fit it this weekend. 

Thanks for the welcome! 
 

Im definitely (terms and conditions apply) going to keep my 900GT. 

I’m also going to stay away from the dealers and temptation!

I’m a long time lurker who bought a GT back in Sept 2019. I thought it was about time to join and say hello. 
 

I was seriously considering a new 9 GT or a Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro, but I have decided to keep my bike for another year or so. I suffer a little with OCD, and the self induced worry of having to keep a new bike clean is a huge drain on me. 
 

So instead of a new bike I’ve treated myself to a heated seat which should arrive later this week. 
 

So, to sum up, Hello!
