mt-09 tracer

[Billy Balthorpe]

I really like this bike. Having recently had my first TDM 850 (post 96 with the 270 degree crank) last year, and then selling it last October because it was a little underpowered, the Tracer with its healthy output and similar stance rang my "I want it" bell.

Its just a shame I cant justify spending £8K on a bike, just to watch it shed value by the minute. I'd rather wait till the cash moulting effect has been suffered by another owner and the price has come down to a point where, if the wife found out how much I paid, I wouldn't have to answer the question "What the bloody hell did you think you were doing spending £8K of our money on a bloody bike? You dickhead!".
