Updated Yamaha Tracer 9 GT

[runnerhiker]

I had a 2019 Tracer GT for a year, I traded it in on my 2019 S1000XR. I got a more powerful engine and more electronics on the XR. This new version of the Tracer seems to catch up on the electronics, they claim the engine was fully revised, the one I had was a bit low on low RPM grunt, and a bit high on engine vibrations.

I think it is an excellent bike at an excellent price. But the appearance of those saddle bags is just plain weird.

Mine had a few oddities: the cruise control didn't work in 3rd gear; the quick shifter was up only, not down (the new one fixes this); they have a thumb wheel similar to the BMW wonder wheel, but it was placed on the right bar cluster making it unusable when holding onto the throttle.
