Not as bad as it looked previously however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was only the US spec FJ that was limited, and I’m not sure when the speed governor went away on the factory bikes... I’m assuming with the introduction of the Tracer here in the states, with its longer swingarm to improve higher speed stability. My US 2020 is e-limited to 130 mph indicated FYI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenn_bate Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) I really like what the 2021 tracer 900 looks like if it's in red like that spy photo, reminds me of the multistrada. Really hope the USA gets it in red like that. I like the tracer 700 a lot too but for some reason they're not available in the USA.

PhotoAl Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Thanks @Wintersdark, photos help me visualize it but still not fond of what I think it looks like but will wait to see it in person. Interesting the way they added the "scoops" to the vents. I'm not sure about the way the lights appear to hang under the fairing but cant tell how that really is. Sigh, guess we will have to wait. I like the electronics on the new bike but overall very happy with my new 2020 I got in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhotoAl Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Nice suspension upgrades for only $1,600 which seems like a fair price to me. Would be nice if they did the same for the Tracer GT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even like a little R6 will do 160mph, let alone the literbikes. Have you considered FJR bags? They have the same mounting and indeed exactly the same backside - just different lids. You can put a reasonably large helmet into the FJR bags. You can literally just buy the lids and swap your lids for those to convert over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Wheels Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Just now, Blue Wheels said: correctomundo. I owned an FJR when I bought the Tracer GT. The bags from one to another fit perfectly. The FJR removeable bags wouldn't fit inside the Tracer cases, however. They were too fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad that they are finally bringing an SP version to the U.S. I like the silver swingarm, something a bit different. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the location of the seat release keyhole is under the seat, in harm's way from road dirt and grit, even if it has a cover! OK if you can stand on your head... 8 hours ago, flyfifer said: Bet the Ignition key still goes in a stupid place !
