New Tracer less than £7.5k http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2015-Yama...224?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2348cf1108
I bet its not either but would like to know what the OTR charges are. I will ring them tomorrow.
puts me right off even thinking about the bike now.
Seven ducks in a row - they guys at Infinity, who have a Yamaha dealership in another location, were rather gobsmacked when these arrived in the course of an hour. Neither of the two had actually seen one in the flesh before.
And only one in the proper colours!
This looks like tremendous value, £8149 and it's got a centre stand, full LED headlights, traction control etc.
I was considering a VSTROM 1000 but it's hard to ignore the apparent value of this Yamaha.
The MT-09 had some cam chain tensioner issues. I'm guessing this is a problem no more?
Ordered a red Tracer a couple of weeks ago after a great test ride. I have had my GS for 8 years now and done 30k trouble free riding. I cannot fault the GS its me it seems to be getting heavier and my legs getting shorter. My reason for swapping are i am getting very apprehensive about slow speed maneuvering.
The tracer was so much lighter and smoother with a much better gearbox and superior brakes. I just hope i dont regret it el;se it will be back to a gs.

Great to hear that i am not the only one to have the same prob. Two of my mates have swapped their GS's for BMW F800GT's for similar reasons.
I like the F800 but it does not excite me like the Tracer. Went on a quick trip over the channel last week and im not very impressed with the performance of the F800 like i was when i test rode the Tracer. Cant wait until the delivery day 2nd May its going to be a long month. Im like a kid waiting for Christmas.
I've just completed 800 miles on my tracer . The novelty has not worn off and I'm still gob smacked about the engine . It just pulls and pulls . Could this be the perfect all rounder ??
