the more i see the Tracer the more appealing it becomes. Have a friend who is an all year round rider & bike instructor-he bought one & loves it.
Budget tourer?? Well I suppose compared to some of the Bavarian Tractors etc with all the electronic gizmos it probably does appear a bit of a bargain but for £8249 OTR I know what Id rather have and spend some of the money i saved on a few choice extras like your Yoshimura exhaust system.
When the Fazer FZS 600 came out it was seen as a bit of a "parts bin special" but it was subsequent sales that proved theyd tapped into a large market and once they got the pricing realistic sales of the FZS 1000 improved.
The Fazer name lives on in other markets like India and I see the MT-07 & Tracer as worthy successors. Bikes dont have to be ridiculously expensive to be well put together and fun! :lol
