I don’t think they’ve showed up in the NE yet. I had a dealer try and pull a bait and switch tho for a 900gt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member texscottyd Posted June 7, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted June 7, 2021 As a bit of an aside, I find it humorous that this entire thread on the 2021 Tracer 9 GT (55 pages and counting) was initiated by a member who signed up, started this topic, and then disappeared all within 48 hours: 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhotoAl Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Just looking at Powersports Plus in Albany GA and it appears they have a red and a silver or grey one. Could be mistaken but they are on the website. Back in 2016 I bought a 2014 ZX6R 636 from them. A good dealer in a small town. Don't know about service or anything else as I just rode in traded and rode away. The ZX6R was a great bike and didn't have the first problem with it over a couple of years and 7,000 miles. They were straight up but did have to hassle over the trade-in on my old bike when I showed up. Otherwise no funny business with stuff like hidden charges etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealers saying stuff they have no clue about, members offering opinions on whether Yamaha would even introduce a new 2021 model, incorrect photos, supposed euro 5 constrains on "new" models and much more. Not that I'm going to wade thru 55 pages, but it'd be interesting to get a right/wrong score count on those who made claims about the model. Certainly fun to speculate and wish and hope, as I do, but my gut feel is that we probably got a solid C-minus in speculative accuracy. We'll have to sharpen our pencils if we want to do better with the 2022 model :-) Edited June 7, 2021 by ZigMerid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h1seoul Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Just picked mine up. My 3rd bike from them. Coincidently, it was all Yamahas and all within the year! 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h1seoul Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Initial Impressions: Front Brakes: It sucks. Will need to replace the pads and get some steel braided lines. QS & DB: Butter. Perfect. Handling: I have only demoed the Tracer 900GT so I can't compare but I had an MT09 and it feels more refined. Handling is quick and smooth. But I have only rode it for 35 miles. 😁 Feels lighter than my T7. I think it is because it's bottom heavy. The T7 is top heavy. I can definitely move around the bike in my garage with less effort than the T7. Suspension: So much better than the MT09. Very compliant. I have to play around with the settings when I get more ride time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had the funds, the S1000XR would be my choice. That is a great choice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
