Nice pics.  
I see you have some reflectors on the panniers. We don’t have those in UK
 
Vicz
US DOT requirement. 
BMW was actually stopped from selling panniers for a bike because they didn’t have side reflectors until they added them.

Factory cruise control, heated grips, panniers, longer swingarm, adjustable windsceen, and...... higher price!
 
Along with a complete face-lift, all of the body panels are reshaped and smoother looking.
It also has the really cool full color TFT display from the R1.

So what's the difference between a FJ-09 and a Tracer GT ?
Like gv550 said: cruise control, heated grips, panniers, longer swingarm, adjustable windsceen. Also the windscreen shape, the hand guards, the handle bars are more narrow, the passenger foot pegs are lower and the passenger grab rails are different. The quickshifter,  and the ECU/fuel mapping is also a little different, I believe. The front and rear suspension (and rear suspension is easier to adjust). The TFT dash, and the seats have all changed

It seems they put standard some of the things I paid for. If I remember right I paid $200 for heated grips, about $125 for kako throttle lock, seat about $200 and hard bags with the mounting bracket was $ 1000. Not sure if I would want a longer swingarm or a quickshifter. I guess a longer swingarm is better for highway riding . But back roads I'm not sure. How much more is the Tracer GT ?

I'm looking at the pictures , I like the powder coated rims. But not painting the nose IMO makes the bike look cheap, mine is painted the same color as the tank and I like that look better. Same thing with the handgaurds , they should have painted them like my 16. But they painted the front fender and side panel where on my bike its not, which I never liked.

Funnily enough the Phantom Blue model available in the EU has a painted nose and handguards.

 tossed on some new LEDs the other day, they don't look too bad! My brother did comment they are harder to see but I'm not surprised as my LED flashing brake lights could cause a seizure.

Look good to me... more visible from the front than my flush mount signals.
