Sonichives Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Trading in not one but two bikes for a new left over 2017 FJ09. Saying goodbye to my F07 and my Vulcan Custom 900. I test drove one last year and I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. I needed to downsize to one bike and I Feel this will be a happy medium. I hope I’m making the right choice! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member roadrash83 Posted October 31, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted October 31, 2019 Welcome to the forum @Sonichives, I don't think the FJ09 will let you down. Enjoy your new ride! 1 He who dies with the most toys wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGP61 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Welcome, I am sure you won't regret your decision. I sold my 12 year old Honda CBF 1000 to change up to the Tracer 900 in June and have enjoyed every one of the 3,000 miles I have covered since then. Just wish I had done more miles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new1709rider Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 That's exactly what my bike looked like a year ago! Be warned, keep looking at this forum and before you know it you'll be adding and replacing parts like crazy! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wintersdark Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Hey! I just traded in my 2018 MT07 for this 2019 Tracer GT. I do miss the crazy fun of the 07, but the Tracer is a tremendously better bike all around. Rather than having to go WOT all the time, you can get the same performance out of a nice sedate half throttle While there's always the mods jokes (as per above) if anything the Tracer is a great deal cheaper than the 07 is that way - it already comes with so much stock. Welcome to the fold! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmailhos Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I also got down to one proper motorcycle (still have two scooters) and sold my 2015 FZ-07 and 2010 Concours. FJ-09 is a much better "all around" bike for my single moto. I have only done one long trip (5 days and 2000ish miles) and it did great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
