First thing I noticed was the vague feeling you get from the front end at speed, like it wanted to wash out all the time, then there was that seat, 30 to 40 miles was all it took to get really uncomfortable with numb bum syndrome, the rear suspension was far too hard and was jolting over bumps the exhaust was a one piece job so an after market exhaust would set you back 1200 quid. The throttle response was far too aggressive with that on off feeling you get with so many modern bikes so rolling on the power out of corners was virtually impossible whichever power mode you had on.The build quality wasn't the usual Yamaha standard probably due to the knock down price of 8 grand. The fuel guage was a joke too. Yamaha have addressed the faults with the Tracer Traded it for a Kawasaki sx thou which was a lot better all round bike but wasn't any where near as comfortable as a Fazer.
Long and the short you can't beat the FZS 600/1000 package is a real winner.
So Tracer, ECU needs remap, Suspension needs to be properly and tank range is BAD!!!!.
After a brief spell on a BMW R1200rs which I don't want to talk about
