One great thing about BMW and Ducati is they'll actually give test rides. I tried an S1000xr once. Endless power. More than I could wisely use. Fun test ride though.

Does the Tracer 900 GT also have the weird "on/off" throttle like the FJ-09. As many has mentioned with the FJ-09, the throttle is hard to modulate and it feels more like an "on/off" switch. Anyone have experience with this?

  Some people think A mode can be twitchy, to me it's the only mode I ride in. You can always get the ECU re-flashed to smooth it out if needed.

Yes. I've heard it is not as bad on the 900GT as it was on FJ09, but I can't say. I generally use Std not A because I find A twitchy.

For emissions fuel cuts off at off throttle, re-flash supposed to fix it. but I haven't done it.

The bike I bought was flashed and I only ride in standard, but it's super choppy.

I ask because the Tracer 900 GT that I inquired about just dropped another $1k in price, maybe more if it doesn't gain any more traction. Private seller must live in no man country and not getting any interest.

Starting to consider the idea of selling the FJ-09 to get the Tracer 900 GT.
