Looks good
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 ____________________ Previous Ride's - '01 Aprilia SR125 (Sold) '08 HONDA CBF600n (Sold) '96 CB500 (Sold) '01 FZS 1000 (Sold) '06 CB1300SA (Sold) '07 CB600F Hornet (Sold) - '93 Suzuki Savage LS400 (Sold) '98 Honda VTR1000 Firestorm (Sold) '05 CB600F Hornet (Sold) '01 FZS1000 Fazer (Sold) 2016 Harley Davidson Street Bob SE (Sold) '02 Kawasaki ZX9R (Sold) '98 CB600F Hornet (Sold) '04 Suzuki Bandit 1200s (Sold) '13 Yamaha FZ1-N |

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 ____________________ KTM 990 SMT & Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM |

I quite like it
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. ____________________ Current Bike: Yamaha XSR900 Previous bikes: Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade, Kawasaki ZX-6R Ninja, Aprilia RS125 2-stroke |

Cheers guys
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 |

Very nice
Keep tail tidy and use smaller indicators. ____________________ stinkwheel: He had an animated .gif of a cat performing fellatio. It's not socially acceptable. It can have real life adverse effects on other people. |
