The Tracer looks money, by rights it should be pretty popular

Any other MT09 riders out there? Had mine for a month now and loving it much.

Yep 2015 Model with Full Akropovic, always runs in A mode, suspension isn't as bad as some make out & as for the snatchy throttle its only when trying to go slow - simple fix go harder, as for wheelies Yep 1st, 2nd & 3rd gear easy as

Apparently it's flying out the door in the UK & Yerp. I heard verbatim recently that a Yamaha dealer in the UK has run out of floor space for trade in's, he has sold so many MT09's / Tracers. More Tracers. The MT 07 has caught my eye recently. 180kg dripping wet, torquey, 75hp... Perfick for my sub 100kmh twisties.

This Bloke sure knows how to enjoy the Tracer. About time a manufacturer made a bike specifically for wheelies. What a good corporate citizen Yamaha are.

$14,599 for a brand new three cylinder 850cc road bike. Bollocks, never happen. WTF, is has.
This has to be the deal of the year, the steal of the year.

I musts say this MT 09 has caught my interest. I like the black one with the accessories; small screen, hand guards and comfy seat. Just throw in the semi hard luggage and away you go. The Yamaha panniers fitted to the earlier MT09, so I assume they will to this slimmer revamped rear end. The sharper looks are cool, the techy improvements sound like YammiHaa actually listen to their customers and even better, they respond quickly.

First Reviews are promising.

11,000km in 11 months on mine. Lots of extra's available on e-bay etc. Great all round bike - good for a hoon, then fit supplied panniers for a trip. Good handling with potential for better with Nitron or Ohlins / Andreani, excellent brakes + you can turn off traction control for wheelies.
