bobble07 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Hi I will be shortly changing bikes from a Honda NC750X to a Tracer 9 GT.. just wanted to say hi and introduce myself, looking forward to regularly posting on here.. A little background - I did my direct access motorbike course here in the UK in July 2022 and have loved riding since. My first and current bike is a NC750X which i actually really like, but I am left wanting more power and better brakes. Plan to do some touring next year. Over the last month I have test ridden a number of bikes including Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx, Kawasaki Versys 1000, Suzuki GSX 1000 gt, BMW S1000xr and KTM 890 smt and of course the Tracer 9 GT (plus model actually) It was a close call between the Ninja 1000 sx and the Tracer 9 GT but I feel much more confident in the corners on the Tracer 9 GT coming from a similarly more upright sports tourer.. and at 6ft 5 I just could not get over how I look on the Ninja.. haha I currently am awaiting delivery of a secure motorcycle shed to keep my new bike in and lower insurance costs.. then I will be looking to get probably a 2022 Tracer 9 GT. The screen on the GT+ is very nice but cannot really justify spending a few thousand extra on that (the adaptive cruise control does not really bother me). Anyways I think that's about is for now!

The Cheese Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Welcome. Hope the new bike treats you well. Way back in the day I also bought a shed to keep a bike. Well before I even knew what was going in it. Month later I bought a bike to put in it. Next day it snowed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
