Marius Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Hi Folks, I've been riding for 10 years and this is my first "sensible" bike. I rode a few of the competitors including a Ninja1000sx when selecting my next bike, and after a 45 minute scoot on a 2019 Tracer 900, I returned to the dealership and immediately ordered the new 2021 Tracer 9 GT. I use this as my primary vehicle, from commuting to touring, and find it very capable as an all rounder, easy and fun to ride. I've done 22,000km so far. NZ doesn't have good freeways like the USA, so this is mostly on B roads like the photos below. I've done a few modifications because i plan to keep this bike: Yamaha 50L Top box - Panniers go on for touring MRA Vario-Touring Windscreen - an absolute necessity R&G Tail tidy R&G Frame sliders Techspec tank grips Rizoma MA009 handlebar & Yamaha bar riser (risers are required if you fit this bar to the 21+ models btw) Mirror extenders JK3D Seat slope mod Innovv K2 dash cam Upgraded to twin HELLA horns (supertone + trumpet) - super loud Feel free to ask if you're attempting any of the same mods. Ride safe 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we're blessed with some awesome roads here, and as long as you don't mind rain, you can ride all year round! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but you have to be careful and pull over, the views can be distracting. Likewise Australia has plenty of beautiful places. I really liked Philip Island. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
