My 5 cents Sport touring but with an emphasis on sport - Pirilli Angle GT 2 (loved it on my GSX-S1000) - Personally i'd choose the T32s however. Pure street sport, cant go wrong with S22's, some people swear by Diable Rosso tires aswell, Metzler M9RR also comes to mind.

Thanks! I am pretty stoked haha Just got off the phone with one of the major Yamaha stores in DK (TINY store compared to what you see elsewhere but still they knew more than my tiny local shop) Apparently they'v been ordered by Yamaha DK not to sell anymore as they were deemed to be of "sup par quality" New ones of i assume better quality should be in by the end of Q1 2022 Little mystified but alas, i'd rather not go aftermarket if i can avoid it.

Deal is done! I will have the bike next week probably. Very pleased with how the trade went, however annoyed that my dealer was unable to fit heated grips, apparently Yamaha has prevented the purchase of these (at least in Denmark) due to a number of issues. He cant tell me when i will be able to buy them even O.o

Hey Rob sorry for the late answer! It is not the DCT, i really like the transmission on the VFR especially with the slipper clutch, super slick to operate, i'd go as far as to say its probably going to be the best shifting experience i'll ever have on a motorcycle. Little side question regarding TC/heated grips on the T9 The heated grips are controlled in the software on the bike right? I wonder how it works when the grips were not installed from the factory, but plugged in later on (by the dealer) Does the bike automatically "understand" that the grips are now installed? Same deal with the quick shifter really. I keep worrying about the fact that i may get "worse" function from the quick shifter / grips because they were not put on originally. They are the Yamaha original parts... There is 0 reason to think this, right?

Short update: They will pick up my VFR and MT03 660 next tuesday I will pick up the Tracer come march with a Yamaha quickshifter / heated grips / panniers installed Hyped! It seems like a great shop, so i feel relativly good about them fitting these extras properly. Should be basically plug and play with the QS/Heated grips, right?

Going to see if i can make a deal tomorrow, i'll try go get them to add in the heated grips and quickshifter, basically all i'll be lacking from the GT spec will be suspension and panniers, and those i plan to deal with as i get the funds Fingers crossed! I am very very fond of my VFR, and wont let it go if i cant make a good deal out of it, so time will tell.

Yee thought the same, but the fact that i can buy the bike and then little by little get it equipped with many of the GT's features speaks to me. I'll have a look come next week what kind of deal i can get done trading in my VFR. Will not pick up the bike before march regardless as thats when my insurance is gonna be active, obviously i'll post pictures in here if i make the trade! You have all been very helpful, thank you so much and hope to join you guys in the future

The quick shifter can be bought for the non GT aswell right? Heated grips are a bummer but i am used to not having them ehe.

Ah yes the suspension ofc! Thats why the GT is likely much more pricy Here is a pic of the handlebars of the one i am looking at, dont know if it tells you anything about features hmm i do like the sound of automatic suspension, but that may be out of budget for me im afraid, i think i am more inclined to go down the path of upgrading the non adjustable suspension later on. Again thank you for your time

Hi Rob, correct i am EU based (Denmark) Thank you so much for replying Well my issue is that i was trying to find something lighter and more mangeable (and cheaper) than my VFR 1200F However now seeing the level of features and generel spec of the newer gen Tracer 900 i am somewhat ready to pay extra just to try it... I have since my post (a few hours ago) changed my mind and am now looking at a newer 2021 Tracer 900 (non GT) 0 miles and i cant seem to understand what i am giving up on by not going for the GT (except panniers) but they can still be bought separatly right? Any difference between 2021 and 2022 models? Is the electronics package the same? Attached a pic of the beauty i am looking at

Hi everyone and thank you for your time Can someone list the key differences between a 2019 tracer 900GT and a 2020-22 version? I am looking for something ligther than my VFR1200F and am stuck between the VFR 800x and the tracer, however paying full price for a new model is not within my budget. There are plenty of low milage 2019 tracer 900GT's available, any advice on this generation versus the newest gen? Is it worth looking at or should i keep saving up for a 2022 model?
