Nice dude, nice!

Looks odd in front of house and car though - looks like you've photoshopped yourself into the 1970's

Looks good Thumbs Up

I think this will be a popular replacement for people wanting to update their old Fazers, now that it's sporting the fairing.

Seems to tick all the right boxes for the commuter - it sure would make rides to work more entertaining Very Happy

Thought I would post up some pictures now my new luggage has arrived for it. Only issue is the standard rear indicators are too big with the tail tidy and are hitting the pannier bar so some smaller ones are on order (either that or get rid of the tail tidy?)

I'd probably head for the Alps with minimal route planning.
Just potter about for a few days.
Two days there, two back.
The Tirol area would be a good base to explore just over the borders of three adjacent countries.

How is the wind protection? Screen looks like it's far too short for you. Lovely looking bike though and hear nothing but good about them engines. Someone was saying in another thread he gets high 50's as far as MPG goes.

Do like the MT-09 but got a hankering for a sports tourer as a 2nd bike. Seems like the Tracer might tick both boxes really. Just need to get a better job now Embarassed

I quite like it Thumbs Up

I'm thinking about downgrading to something like this in the future. I need to wait for my son's legs to grow a bit longer first - he can reach foot pegs only on sport bikes atm.

Cheers guys Thumbs Up

Whilst in the first running in stage I was getting 60mpg, now I am averaging around 56 / 57mpg. Wind protection is good especially for hands and legs. Like you say the screen is not great but in its lowest position I don't get any buffeting but my helmet is in clean air.

Alps sounds like a good shout

Looks great - i'm off to the alps/italy/france in August on the 09. With a MRA vario screen and a kriega tailpack i should be as nearly as comfortable as you Wink

Very nice Thumbs Up

Keep tail tidy and use smaller indicators.
