Just wanted something with two up comfort but still lighter. Went against my notion of buying new compared to always picking up used. This comes with everything that I usually spend more on all the time. ABS, Bags, center stand, heated grips and added bonus of cruise. I know most of you guys gonna laugh at me when I say last bike for a long time. But it is, all the time I kept experimenting with different bikes since I loved riding plus the machine. All bikes I tried were vastly different from each other from engine to ergonomics to weight. Tracer Gt is like a culmination of all the good things I loved. Last bike since I won’t be putting Many miles on this, this is mostly for social aspect of riding more than the adrenaline endorphins aspect which I always associated with bikes. Bought new since it will like sit with me less miles for longer duration. Favorite engine : triple / enough power/ enough torque comfortable ergonomics: Vstrom like ideal bike weight for flick and tour for my size around 470lb Unique sound: not as sweet as VFR V4 like, but CP triple comes very close. Hopefully I will become just a simple bike show, parade riding like guy just puttzing around with this bike for a long time rather than the prodigal waster with his legs deep into coffin waiting for the right push

The riding in WV is just as good or better. With way less traffic and LEOs.

Ah, shit. I might have to make it down this year.

Congrats on the new bike. I guess we will be seeing you group riding around the (windy nine) with a stuffed animal on the rear top case and wearing a leather vest with patches. I will still wave

Submitted vacation request for the same weekend.+ few extra days. Hopefully it gets approved. subscribed

I recommend koso led signals. A little spendy at $70/pair but they're quality and bright as hell. From the looks of it a slip on will only be a cosmetic upgrade, you'll need a full system to really hear it sing. Sweet bike, good to see yamaha putting that peach of a motor into more bikes. Great to see you back on 2 wheels too.

I made mention of it to my wife. I’m a maybe at this point. My last day for school is the 5th, so it is a possibility.

Only mods planned are smaller wind screen, exhaust and led signals to replace them giant pumpkins

He is trolling all of you. That isn't what he bought. He sent me pics.

Congrats, Doc. Don't fuck with it. Just ride it.

Fuck GA! I don't need another performance award.

The blue and silver is sharp - those are my favorite R1 colors.

Great Doc, I hope I can show you some great ADV routes down near the gap. O-Shit, Waite, You did not buy a new V-Strom did you. Had to have that cruze control.

Bought a CX bike. Swapping it from 11-32 cassette to 11-42, so it climbs more easily on gravel rides. professional bike fitting scheduled for 2/15 😎

a year of outerbelt roadwork for the same plonkers to camp out and stuff up traffic in one more lane.

I'm still waiting to see if I'll have a job after April
