Hello all, moocher here. I collected the Tracer on 9th July, three dry days helped me put 415 miles on the clock and now we are in for a wet week so it'll stay in the garage for a bit. I am impressed with the stability and handling over these cracked, lumpy, pot-holed roads. The fuelling seems ok and it is not as "jerky" as some journalists had predicted. That said, I tend to bimble around in 'B' mode. I've ridden since 1964 and my biggest problem is getting on and off the bike, any on and not just this one.
I'm retired so I don't commute. I have a car Honda Jazz (a.k.a. the slug) and another bike (Kawasaki Z1000SX).
I have fitted -
SW-Motech engine bars
R&G Rad guard
Fender extender
Hot Grips
I am about to wire in a Garmin Sat Nav and a rear Hugger extender
I have also ordered a set of Adjustable H/bar clamps as I find the bars are just a tad too low. (old mans back)
I am not interested in a loud exhaust or the addition of 4 BHP
Future projects will include fitting an auxiliary power supply and a chain lubrication device.
 
Hi Moocher ... sounds like you know what you're about. It's good being retired and a biker isn't it.
