I’m thinking of getting one of these my last bike was a BMW S1000R so I’m a little worried about the power delivery I’ve been riding years so know it’s going to be much slower. How is it day to day overtaking etc. I will use it for commuting about 25miles on Norfolk country roads

I have owned a 900 Tracer 2015 for some months now. It has an irritating whining noise in some gears- specifically in top gear at cruising speeds of round 60 mph(100kph)- seemingly a common problem. This disappears at about 70mph(115kph) which is illegal in New Zealand. Something to do with square cut gears and not fixable

Wow, more than 50 videos about how fantastic the Tracer is and not one saying that Yamaha should drop its face in shame for making a dangerous bike from 140, the steering vibrates and the jolts are unbearable, not to mention that when it's hot The motorcycle does not start, or stalls. Several colleagues have changed swingarms, others have spent thousands of euros to improve their suspensions, the reality is a dangerous motorcycle and NOBODY SAYS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, what a shame

@@SurfPilot Ya, the cbr was an awesome bike to learn on (for a "big" bike), but the street triple was really MY bike. I do miss, and think I will miss a lot of things about it going forward, but given my change of location, I think the tracer will better suit my needs. And thanks!

Good acceleration from 59-60mph there! I found that out when I "tested" my newly bought 2019 model, it went, quicker than I expected it to. Coming from a 650 Vulcan I was a little suprised and I was going along for the ride and I realised what the bike was truly capable of, very quickly! What a brilliant bike the Tracer is, great handling, fantastic engine, very good fuel economy and pretty comfortable too. I think the screen will be upgraded eventually but I can live with that for now. I reckon its hard to buy a bad bike these days and you could do a lot worse than the Tracer. Well happy with mine.

Hi Mark, your very welcome, thank you for watching it. I hope you are well mate, Yeah I'm still out and about well not so much with the lockdown and dam snow, I now have the CRF1000 Africa twin, the tracer was a great bike and a sweet engine, but I traded it in for the Honda. I'm from the Cas area so I guess your from around about here. Nothing wrong with the good old Bandit, I once craved for one.

@@SurfPilot Aye i'm over in the East Leeds area so not far off and have been known to have a wander to squires for a brew and a chin wag. I'm fairly new and late into biking but just trying to find my feet at the moment on what i like, I learnt on the SV650 (which i really enjoyed) over at XS towards yourself. I got the Bandit which is good but its a '96 and its on that knife edge of either needing a full strip and a rebuild, which i'm not sure i want to sink that sort of cash/time into. But we'll see what this new year brings ... hopefully abit more biking and less covid and snow.

Looks like the front tyre has been put on backward! The grooves are pointing the wrong way. They'll push rain water towards the centre of the tyre which will increase the likelihood of aquaplaning in heavy rain. The rear tyre has been installed correctly. Other than that, it looks a great bike for the money. My next bike might well be a Tracer 900 GT :)
