2019 Tracer 900 GT Test Ride

[Liteitup]

I have a riding friend here that bought one. He couldn't make it fit him. I'm not sure what the problem was, but he sold the bike with very few miles and ended up with a R1250GS.

He does still have a brand new front and rear seat from Sargent if you proceed.

Good to know. Doesn't look too bad. Is the seat heated by any chance? [Sargent seats]

As for fit ... did he not thoroughly try it before buying? I see a few of these bikes on Cycle Trader with very low miles and can't help wondering why some people did not keep those bikes.

When I buy a bike I have to have 2 test rides (minimum) - first one is to see if it passes the minimum tests and I should even bother to continue to research. If the numbers are sounding good and I get closer to pulling the trigger, I take it for a more discriminating test ride, focusing on living with the bike. If it still passes then I buy, if not the sale is dead.

That said, the RS was the exception. Bought after one 2 hour test ride.

I don't think they're heated, here's the ad...

I don't know his buying procedure, but I bought both BMW's, the KTM. a Tenere, and my little Chinese scooter without a test ride. Several other bikes were bought with very limited rides, just long enough to know everything works(brakes, gearbox, etc).
