Yeah that was a good price on the Tracer.  I got a $1k discount on mine because the dealer had three 21s on his floor and had been sitting there for a few weeks unsold.  Like your dealer, after these three sold, the price went back up and they now fetch an additional $1300 dealer premium.  With CA taxes, my OTD was $17,500.  Ouch.

I do love the bike, but like you I would seriously consider trading it for the Suzuki.  If I could afford it.

My OTD was $13,500

It might be more promising in Australia as their web site is showing just the black and white models now.

White is only available in the 2023 release, correct?

I do like the white as it's much more low key. My plan is to buy in 2023 as they become available. While it'd be nice to think we're special, I think every market which is getting the 2023 model will have access to the white.

Fantastic Price!  I don't think there is anything comparable to that here in California.  You must have extremely low taxes out there in NC.

CA has rules that inhibit ppl from going to another state to buy cheaper and then import the vehicle to CA.  If you traveled to another state to buy new, cheap, you'd be unable to register that new bike in CA because it had less than 7500 miles on it.  They will allow you to import a bike with less than 7500 miles as long as you are becoming a CA citizen bringing the new bike with you.  But if you already a citizen, going to a cheaper state to buy cheaper, gonna have a road block. Can't register it, and they may even give you an order to remove the vehicle from CA.

Yup, I have a friend on another forum who lives in CA and bought a nearly brand new ‘12 CBR600RR a few years back on FL and tried to bring it into the state. He told me that not only is it not able to be currently registered in CA, they’ve flagged it to ever be able to again. I’m not sure how that works, if it’s true or is even legal to do but I had suggested he buy a used cluster with over 7500 miles on it, register the bike then put his old one back on and he said even that won’t work on his bike because it’s been flagged.

States can do as they like regarding vehicle laws&regulations, provided those don't supersede any federal laws.

Thank God Arizona has reasonable laws....

Here is a link to the CycleTrader listings for 2021 - 2022 new T9GTs and the listed prices start at $12,988 and topped out at $15,929.

I bet you could get out the door for right around 15k at that San Diego FBC listing....

Sounds like a change for the positive.

It doesn't surprise me that we won't see any '23 models here in the US for at least 2 reasons. First being that at least in the Seattle area, most dealers received their '22 models late this year so now there's an excess of inventory. I lucked out getting my '22 mid summer which at the time was hard to get.  Second, with the inventory I think dealers would want to see how the European and other markets fare on the new model before bringing it over, so maybe at the earliest we'll see the new models in '24.

 

 

I just went to my local Yamaha dealer this morning, they just recently got '22 Tenere 700's, MT09's and Tracer9 GT's.  Not sure what is going on with Yamaha's supply chain to get new bikes at the very end of the model year.  All of their Tenere 700's and MT09's were on waiting list and sold before the delivery truck arrived while the Tracer9 GT's are sitting on the showroom at a few hundred under MSRP. 🤷‍♂️

[robzilla]

Yea I'm scratching my head on the late deliveries to dealers. Could be some parts and/or production delay!?

While I'm happy with my new T9GT, maybe, maybe not sure if I would've waited this long just to save some money. So hard to tell earlier on the new '23 model with ACC was coming or if dealers were even getting '22 models to begin with. And now with the '23 models on the horizon, unfortunately the US won't see these anytime soon.

My 2020 GT is a great bike and serving me well.  If I was to get a new one I would probably stay with a triple but it would be this triple...
