teacheruk Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hello everyone Have just ordered MT 09 Tracer here in the UK, delivery April 4th. Chopping my GTR 1400 in for something a bit lighter ! The Tracer is unrestricted over here and I was impressed with the test ride. It'll suit me for weekend blasts with or without my girlfriend ( soon to be wife) Looking for clues on luggage as Yamaha are not doing hard luggage for the Euro market, strangely they are only doing some sort of soft bag.

You can buy the lower mount online from the states and then order FJR1300 bags local. They will fit perfect, but are a tad wider (will hold a full face helmet).

teacheruk Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Thanks for the feedback and hello Magpie- we should have a ride out sometime. I've sussed out the hard luggage city bags whichare effectively the FJR panniers but wow thet cost a lot. Think I'll go soft bags route for the odd trip I'll do and just fit my top box also Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
