ItsRichieRich Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Hi all! My friends call me Richie, and I hope to be a future FJ/Tracer 900 GT owner. I have been searching for a commuter motorcycle for the last two months. I started looking at the Honda ST1300, but that was too big. Then I started looking for a Honda NT700V but could not find any local to me. I moved my search to a well-equipped FJ-09 or Tracer 900 GT. I recently sold my 2020 Ducati Hypermotard 950 SP since it wasn't ideal for commuting. However, it is the best bike I have owned (and I have owned a few bikes). I look forward to learning more about these bikes in this forum. Maybe I'll get the opportunity to meet some of you in person. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member Kenny A. Posted August 3, 2022 Supporting Member Share Posted August 3, 2022 Welcome. Why not consider a 9GT ? 👍 1 2019 900 GT, 1969 Honda S90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not consider a 9GT ? 👍 Trying to keep the price down as I am also in the market for a 2020+ BMW S1000RR as a weekender/track bike. Ideally, would like to find a Tracer 900 GT under $10k or a well-equipped FJ09 for under $7500. With the market slowing down, my odds are looking good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miweber929 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Welcome!!! I think I’ve seen you on the 600RR forum. When I was riding the other morning I was thinking my Tracer 900 GT I recently bought would make a great commuter bike, good luck in your search!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I'm after the Tracer 900 GT but I might settle for a FJ-09 and outfit it with a quickshifter and cruise control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsRichieRich Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 And I officially own a FJ-09! Picked her up last night. A little disappointed in her condition (previous owner talked super highly of it) but we got squared away on a sale price that made us both happy. There's going to be a lot of sticker removal (about 10-12 stickers on the bike) but the bike should clean up well. Let the mods begin... 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
