60 for the Tracer and 92 for the RS.
I don't think 60 would be enough for me, I use torque more than HP.
If Wayne want to use the Tracer as a adventure bike I would think more torque would be better.
Point well taken, but on the other hand I look at Itchy Boots, On Her Bike, As the Magpie Flies (all on YT), and others and they haul a lot of gear with less torque than the Tracer 900GT. Of course they are all personally lighter than I and they drive mainly off-road so they travel slower and don't emphasize performance so that would likely be the limitation. I was looking at the 750 & 850 GSs and they are too pricey for a second bike for me. All just dreaming I guess ...
