Nickk Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Hi All, Newb to the forum, I've been tossing the idea around of getting a Tracer recently and it's become a full obsession and I'm ready to pull the trigger. Decent deals can be had on the previous gen(2022) model and it's sounding good. I have a long history with bikes and did some club racing on an FZR400 back in the day. Stoked to ride something comfortable with some power, handling, and tech. Nick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickk Posted August 26 Author Share Posted August 26 I did it. Got it today. I'm going to need to do something about the seat and the front brakes. Maybe the brakes need some bed in time. Tried to post a pic but it's too big 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickk Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 Several rides and a commute into ownership and here's some impressions: Great engine, it really spins up fast and I need to get used to that coming off an old heavy twin It's so nice to sit high and see traffic when I have to be in it. Excellent handling, it really feels planted in turns and begs to roll the throttle on. Panniers are a weird shape and won't even fit my 14" laptop(that sucks beyond words) the seat needs something, both settings have you too tilted forward. The quick shifter is a thing of beauty and has ruined me for all other motorcycle experiences. It's the most convenient coming to a stop where I can just keep off the gas and just tap down on the shifter. I still need to figure out drive modes and the manual mode so happy to be off of the Harley on and on the Tracer9 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the side cases!! Best to put a top case of your choice so you can fit the laptop and more. Luckily was able to find a rack that can fit my C14 case and switch between the two. As for the seat, either try the seat slope mod as noted from others in this thread... ...get a better or custom seat!! I tried the seat slope mod and still didn't help, but after getting my seat custom fit I'm just a happy seated T9GT rider no matter the mileage or time!
