Premium Member 3sum Posted December 11, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted December 11, 2018 Just joined up to gleam information over the winter. I have a couple Triumph triples (Sprint 1050 and Tiger 1050) that are going on the block to help facilitate a Tracer GT or FJ purchase. Instead of growing the herd, I’m going to thin it to one. I just haven’t had the time to ride line I want so I (begrudgingly) told the wife I was going to go down to one bike for a few years. She was happy until I told her I was selling both to buy a different one! if anyone finds themselves in metro Atlanta and has a breakdown or needs a quick fix, I have a trailer, tools, and a cool garage to work in. I’ll toss in a picture of the Sprint for the hell of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duhs10 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Not too far away at all! I don't get to joy ride much, I mainly commute on the FJ, but always looking for people to ride with.

Premium Member 3sum Posted January 26, 2019 Author Premium Member Share Posted January 26, 2019 Well, I’ve sold both the Sprint and Tiger in the last week. It’s time to go find the unicorn called the Tracer GT! There’s a dealer an hour south of me (Macon, GA) that has one advertised for $11,295 but doesn’t have one in stock. I was told to give him a $500 deposit and he’d have one there in about a week. How does that price compare with what others paid? I hope to contribute to the group once I find one!!

norcal616 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Nothing wrong with the original FJ-09s- most are already kinda "sorted out" such as suspension, seat, etc... You will find it's cheaper to buy a FJ and build it into your "GT" rather than buying a new GT and building it into your GT... More aftermarket for FJ-09 since the GT is new... Only 2 things you will miss out on that are not worth the price differences such as a slightly (1 inch?)longer swingarm and a fancy color dash display...

Supporting Member roadrash83 Posted January 26, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted January 26, 2019 That seems like a good price I paid $200.00 under full retail back in July. Go take one for a test ride, overall I'm happy with mine. Happy hunting! He who dies with the most toys wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only dealer that I visited with one on the floor was adamant about not allowing test rides. I don’t know where I’ll buy one, but I know where I won’t!

duhs10 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I bought my FJ from Freedom Powersports in McDonough... they let me test ride it before buying. Have you tried there? '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras... Fayetteville, GA, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 3sum Posted January 27, 2019 Author Premium Member Share Posted January 27, 2019 I was just in Freedom last weekend and they don’t have one. The sales lady asked another female (sales mgr perhaps) and she said “we can get you one!” like they all do. I’m pretty sold on the bike already but I would really like to test one out first. It doesn’t look like that will happen, though. The dealer that was so adamant about no test rides was Mountain Motorsports in Lithuania Springs.

duhs10 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 What are you currently riding? Maybe we could meet up for a ride and swap bikes for a few minutes... mine isn't a GT but I figure it would give you a decent idea as to what the GT will feel like. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras...

Premium Member 3sum Posted January 28, 2019 Author Premium Member Share Posted January 28, 2019 Wow, what an awesome offer. As of yesterday, I'm bikeless. I sold my Sprint last Sunday and the Tiger yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping I can get them to throw in the touring windshield with the price but they probably won’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
