Mark Barulich Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 Thank you. Input from current owners is very important. If needed I will get a new seat and a legit touring windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for something smooth but lighter in weight. 650lbs is a bit heavy for me at 170 lbs. Thanks for your input. Strange how many go from the FJR to the Tracer GT. I also did this last year after having the FJR for around 12 months and 18k kms. Was sad to part with it but decided to do so due mainly to the weight at around 300 kgs compared to the Tracer's 237 kgs. Absolutely loved the FJR in every way, smooth, comfortable and excellent wind protection. I'm 5ft 7ins and weigh 70kgs so the FJR was a bit of a challenge, especially when I dropped it halfway through a slow turn. Absolutely no regrets moving to the Tracer GT. Smooth and comfortable enough with all the features of the FJR. Not as good in the wind protection department but life is a compromise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Barulich Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Thanks for your response. I test drove and traded my FJR on a 2020 Tracer GT yesterday. I'm sure I've finally found the right motorcycle for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
