PhotoAl Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) That is why I have a scooter, want a Grom but can't figure how to mount the stuff I carry on the scooter so have the scooter. So much fun to hop on and ride - it will do 60mph so can go lots of places. Saw a fella on a From on I20 west of Atlanta on a Grom, full tuck trying to get a much speed as possible.

I was at the local shop today asking about the new MT09 and Tracer 9 GT and was told by the owner that they don't know when they will be arriving but expect it to be later in the Spring than originally planned. He said they were having a hard time getting inventory period, as I looked around, I noticed the showroom was half full at best. Last year they were selling the Tenere 700 as fast as they could get them and would re-order and sell out again, this year they put in a request for 30 Tenere 700's over the next 6 months and were told not to expect any. Infact he said they were going to have a demo days this year but don't have the inventory to sell in support of a demo event so they cancelled it this year. Anyone else hearing similar news at their dealership? My dealer claims with confidence that my bike will arrive mid April. They state that customer orders placed before March are in the priority lane and was shipped to Europe as part of the demo bikes that are now in places like Italy and France for all those press releases. I am dreaming and hoping that this is the truth 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather in Sweden still don't provide for that many bike rides yet anyways. But it's still a pain to wait 😄 Nice! Sweden is a great place to ride in. Many fun roads with great scenery 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h1seoul Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Hi, new to the forum. This will be my first Tracer. Just talked to my dealer where I have a deposit down for one and Yamaha sent them an email that the deliver of the Tracer 9GT is on schedule. This was last week. So, hopefully, at least here in the states, that is true. Looks like Visordown posted a road test and review. Yamaha Tracer 9 and Tracer GT 2021 road test and review SINCE 2015 the Tracer has been the sensible one in the otherwise... 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick@forceberg.net Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 My dealer in Sweden is now actively promoting test rides of the new Tracer 9 so assuming they're close to delivery now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoAl Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I was out Saturday and stopped by a dealer. They still had a 2020 Tracer GT and had it marked full price, had a used Tracer 900 and a FJ09 as well. Think they would have come down but apparently not much. Not sure what their plans for the 2021s are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
