Hello, from the Kootenays in Canada.

New 2020 Tracer 900GT rider.

I am new to motorcycling, (got my first bike, and license last year). Never thought I would be able to do it, as I have muscular dystrophy, but I pushed through and it was so worth it............. riding is unreal.

Was checking out highway bikes (Cruisers and such) last weekend, as I was not getting used to the wind buffeting (from side winds, and such.... I don't care about the wind from riding fast) on my KLR650 (over 80km was sketchy). I ended up test driving a Tracer 900 GT. Was an unreal experience. I put on 60km in the test ride, and bought the bike upon return to the dealer. Still keeping the KLR as I have a LOT of secondary highways, and gravel back roads, just out my door, and the KLR is great for that.

The Tracer is such a fun bike to ride, I especially love the engine, and the modern tech features. I am glad I learnt to ride on a KLR however, as if I learnt on this bike, I would not be as good at riding bikes (I'm not an expert by any stretch, still a rookie!). The Tracer is so easy to ride, and confident in the wind, etc, on the highway. Just love this bike.

Anyway, hello from a new rider! :)
