Welcome to the forum and I am sure you will enjoy every mile on your new bike. I went down the NON GT route as well after test riding a GT. Yamaha panniers were I felt too small for My touring needs so picked up a second hand base model with a set of shad panniers and top box, They can be set up as a very good sports tourer, lots of tips here on spending your money.

Premium Member duhg Posted October 5, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted October 5, 2020 Welcome Danielblue. There are several of us in Ohio and a couple even meet for a ride now and then. Your Tracer will be a fine sport touring ride. I came off a BMW GS and it only took a short time of riding the FJ exclusively for the GS to feel huge and tractor-like. For the first time in 30 years I may replace my bike with the same model when that time comes. https://ridemsta.com/oh-tmr/ Riding makes me happy.
