Great review, and very nice bike! Great to see you again, Matt! Since I moved to Europe, I missed seeing you guys. Had one of the best days of my life with you guys at Gerotek!
+The Bike Show Yep, I have a ZRX1200R that I'm busy modding (ZZR1400 front fork, ZX-10R wheels, and some other stuff...). Looking to buy one of these Tracers for touring Europe!
Great review as always. I can't wait for the new and improved 2019 Tracer 900GT which will be available mid 2018. Better styling & windscreen, cruise control, heated grips along with all new improved suspension. Can't wait to have a go on one as well as seeing you review. Any chance your full show will be available for viewing in N. America?
Why don't we get this show in the U.K.? Our bike shows are horrendous and pointless!!! I'm thinking of moving to SA just for this show (and the weather)
Awesome review, loved the scenery. I love that motorcycle, but it has one problem... the all digital dashboard, I like to have something analogic to look at. You got one new subscriber here.
GSX-S1000/F is basically a superbike for the street. FJ/Tracer is around 30 hp less, 20+ torque less, and has long travel suspension for messy road surfaces and touring. Different bikes. GSX-S1000/F is more comparable to the Z1000SX.
115 hp in the Tracer 145 hp in the GSX-S Tracer stands tall and comfortable GSX-S is more dedicated and sporty, with some comfort Tracer has nice wide gear ratios, for crawling along or for lower revs at highway speeds GSX-S has a tall 1st gear and higher revs at highway speed, although doing just over 40 mpg in most reviews.
Great review guys I bought mine last month. It's such a fun bike but I found 45 minutes on the saddle is about the limit for my body and need a break. If you're interested here is a dedicated Tracer forum motrider.com
