gv550 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Looks like you are at Nash in Mesa, that GT has been sitting there since November.

Not really sure if it is actually a deal- 14,000 out the door- think they inflated the tax a bit. But the only one I could actually find on a showroom within 50 miles of me ( down in Arizona by Phoenix) and they didn't blink at a cash purchase. Went to another "bigger" box powersports store that showed a GT in inventory on their website- nope, nada, but had a Tracer 900 with a broken windshield pinch lever and disconnected wires dangling from the chassis ( I wouldn't buy a Taco from them- but did sit on a lot of their bikes- yep Africa Twin still too tall, FJR still too heavy,etc.) With my boots on my size 9 feet don't come close to passenger pegs and I can flat foot it if I'm up against the tank, and it still feels almost as light as my Versys ( test ride? surely you jest amigo). I'm excited already :0 Already grinning......good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured it been there for a while, didn't try to chew them down any on the price, maybe I should have :>) You must snowbird down here then, eh? I used to live up in the top of the Idaho Panhandle, so close to BC picked up the "eh". ( oh man, I've blown a lot more than that on numerous young exotic women, got so tired I figured a new motorcycle would keep me out of trouble for bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, I bought a little house in Gilbert last year; really like it down here overall: insane drivers, monsoons and 115' F Summer days notwithstanding ( the plan this Summer is to take the GT North during the worst of it) . Yeah, there's lots good road in these parts. Sounds great, look forward to meeting you in person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Picked up my Tracer yesterday afternoon; wow, what a fukin' great bike. Even just puttin around in rain mode, I can feel what a willing partner in crime the CP3 engine is going to be. Really nice and stable feeling for it's weight as well; had some 35-40 mph gusts happening while I was out, barely noticeable, would have been blowing my Versys 300 all over. I don't think I'm going to need to have the seat customized either, feels great as is. Damn happy so far :>) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GT should be great for lane splitting ( I don't know how anyone can handle commuting in Cali without a bike Yeah this bike is way too much fun,eh. 850 miles on mine so far- haven't put her in sport mode yet, waiting for the magic 1k mark. Would have a lot more miles, but decided to really focus on heat cycles for this bikes' break-in ( 17 full heat cycles so far, all those small rides have helped me get more familiar with the bike in a shorter amount of time I think).
