I'd say if you are wanting to get into sport bikes or more sporty riding you will want to check out all three classes. Sportbike, Naked Sport and Sport Touring. Tall riders on sportbikes will probably want to look at something like the Honda CBR 1000RR or Ninja XZ-14. For Naked you would want to look at something like the Yamaha MT09 or MT10 and for sport touring (which fit taller riders better IMO) there's the Tracer 900 (or 9), Ducati Multistrada or the BMW S1000XR.

Congrats on the new bike. I'm a Scout owner looking at this class of bike. I think this type of bike in the 800 - 1000 cc range is the best combination of size & weight, power, and price. I love the looks of my Scout, and as a shorter rider I love the seat height. But your review of the features of the Tracer 900 highlight what a great value these bikes are, and how overpriced the Scout is. The latest generations of these bikes have come down in height to make them approachable for my 5'5" height, although they're still a little on the tall side. But their lighter weight makes them manageable. And the value in terms of features for the price is undeniable. The bike on my short list is the Triumph Tiger Sport 660. While it has less features and power, it is VERY fun to ride while also possessing features that overcome many of the Scout's shortcomings. Good luck with your new ride!

Congrats on the new ride. I thought about the sport tour a bit before I got my Chieftain and in some ways I wish I would have gone that route as it is lighter and faster and less heat haha. My issue is I wanted power but I am a Short guy (5' 5") so it would make it more of a challenge getting on/off and stop lights (even for just 1 foot down) then what I face now on the Chieftain Limited ;) . I am like you, I am about the bike and not the brand. If a brand has what I want at the time for a good price then Boom, that is what I am going with at the time. Who knows, Maybe in the next few years I might trade the Chieftain Limited for a Sport Tour bike (really like the Multistrada V4). I am currently starting to make videos (haven't uploaded any yet) and it will start off with the Indian Chieftain. Down the road could turn into a Multistrada V4 or BMW R 1250GS/S 1000XR or same bike as you. Depends on where life takes me I guess. Great content as always......... Oh BTW, I ended up ordering a Ruroc after you and I talked. So thanks for that. Should get it End of May.

You made my day. I own a Victory Vision Tour and am 6' 4" with a 33 inseam. I love the Victory and will keep it, but last Sunday what started as a nice day ended up with a horribly windy afternoon. My friends on lighter bikes seemed to handle the wind better and were able to ride at 70 when I was struggling to hold 55-60. My first thought was a Tracer like you have. It would be great to have a much lighter performance rig that would be suitable for long distance tours not to mention commuting. What do you think?

I've been thinking about bikes like this... however I'm curious what your inseam is? I don't have a local dealer to check but the seat high is about 4 inches higher than my inseam so I doubt I'd be able to flat-foot it and even tiptoeing it seems like it'd be unlikely lol. I always want the low riders just because I need that seat height and I don't ever want to go fast just trot along and crush them miles. but congratulations on the new bike! can't wait to see the videos about it, especially how you make it yours over time!

I have the same bike, i am 5’5”, fitted the lowering bones, which dropped it 15mm, have the low seat and in the low position, dropped the front forks 10mm and i manage it fine, cant flat foot both feet.. one works fine..

I have a 31-32" inseam. I cannot flat-foot the bike at all and sit on my tippy-toes. I don't worry about that though because when I come to a stop that is on a grade, I just throw one foot down and lean the bike over. They are incredibly light motorcycles.

I was too ... I think the biggest thing for me was that I knew I would miss the high-revving engine. That's something hard to replace when you are used to it. I'm sure I could have gotten used to the lower revs of the HD ... and if I gave it a chance I probably would have. BUT - This Tracer 900 GT sang to me when I rode it. It gave me that sport bike feel and excitement all while being ridiculously comfortable. I mean I was just banging through the quick shifter out on the highway, enjoying my time and look down to see I was "cruising" at 110 ... and didn't realize it.

Awesome! My buddy upgraded to that exact bike last year, and I upgraded to the Kawasaki Versys 1000. Both very similar bikes - great all-rounders. I've ridden his Tracer and it's fantastic! So looks like yours is a 2019? Guessing you got it used, since it has a few things done to it already?

That bike def fits your needs more than the scout bobber. I always thought you rode your scout further than most scout owners. I never looked at these bikes as I’ve always only rode cruisers. There wasn’t anything left to do on the scout anyway. You did so much with it, it is time to move on to something else.
