I always say that I don't care about these tech advances - FI, ABS, TC, etc. - but I appreciate them when I get them. Hate that they can inflate the cost so much.

KrustyKush Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Good looking red Tracer. I'd like the ACC. Droning on the highway it really irritates me to have to cancel my cruise. I will subconsciously go to lengths to avoid it. ACC might keep me more calm. Or not. What I'd like to have is a hill hold feature on the transmission, like the Harleys have had for the past few years. Way useful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride365 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I have it turned off in my car, I'd do the same on a motorcycle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whisperquiet Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 ^^^^^^^Same here…..my wife’s Mazda CX 5 has adaptive cruise control which is turned off as soon as the vehicle is started. It is super annoying and at times dangerous if in use. I would be hesitant to ever use it on a motorcycle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korak Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I would love and look forward to having it on a future purchase. Droning along the highways for 6-7 hours and having to turn off cruise due to slower traffic, then turning it back on for a couple of miles only to turn it on and off again is fatiguing physically and mentally. I want to enjoy the ride, the scenery, the experience. Some are saying ACC will cause driver distraction. What, I’m going to play video games? Start texting? Calling all my friends? Sorry, I’m old school, fully suited up, properly concentrating on my surroundings and hopefully one day enjoying a technology that lets me soak up the experience even better! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most modern tech isn't a selling point for me, cruise control and heated grips are all I need. I have never tried a car with ACC but imagine on a state highway it could be nice, however on an interstate through a metro area it could be miserable with it constantly braking and accelerating as cars constantly cut in and out from in front of you, at that point why bother with CC? 4 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to go WOT on the FJ09 and let the TC make the front wheel just skim the tops of little road bumps in a tiny, baby wheelie. That's electronics. Don't do it often, but it makes me grin. My wife's Hyundai has ACC. This is a commuter sedan, nothing sporty. When speeds are changing gradually, the ACC is nice to have even in stop and go traffic. Smooth enough. When speeds are changing quickly, it works but kicks in later and brakes harder than a human. It could potentially be useful in moto commuting somewhere outside CA. Lane splitting would f*** with ACC too much. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted July 13, 2022 Supporting Member Share Posted July 13, 2022 The "New and Improved" larger single TFT screen might make it worth it... "The implementation of radar evidently means the standard Tracer’s double-TFT dash will be supplanted by a large single screen". https://www.cycleworld.com/story/motorcycle-news/yamaha-tracer-9-gt-with-radar-cruise-control/ 3 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokey074 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 That’s a hard no for me, unless it can be disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angrygirafe Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 ACC is awesome in cars, because those are just temporary prisons we’re waiting to get out of. On a motorcycle, the ultimate expression of freedom? No thank you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride365 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Hopefully the new display/system has car play like Honda and all the Euro bikes pretty much now have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to my local dealership tat is the tft from the TMAX. So if the TMAX has car play so will the new Tracer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel5 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Not bothered about adaptive cruise, just want cc to work below 4th gear and down to 20 mph, I use it to stick to 30 and 40 mph speed limits and now we have a few 20mph speed limits in the UK and keeping to them is bloody difficult on the throttle alone, one twitch of the throttle and you are way over! My car doesn`t have cc but speed limiter which works in any gear at any speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
