Just had a go on the tracer, and it really is a good bike!
However.........
That screen is absolutely useless! What were Yamaha thinking? An £8k bike with a £10 screen.
The chassis is good, the engine is an absolute gem, and its oddly comfortable with the sculptured seat.
It's a bit like a cross between a Fazer 600 and a Tdm. Bags of instant torque, but it revs like a 600/4!!! It feels like it's definately more powerful than 115bhp.
If it was my 'only bike' then I'd probably have one. If I was after a pure fun machine, then I'd have the naked MT-09.
