Affordable is key. Paying 20, 30, 40 thousand is nuts.

Tracer 9 GT standover height with S1000XR handling and performance

philharmonicmoto.bsky.social•11 days ago

That's interesting, because from my simulations they are pretty similar in ergos, but of course these are just estimations. What year models are you talking about? And can you elaborate on the differences you felt? Comparison with the widest differences https://www.philharmonicmoto.com/compare-page/X5PZ0T

I had a 2019 XR and loved it, but it was just a bit too tall for me, putting me on tip toes. The first Tracer 9 GT was great, easily letting me get flat footed.

philharmonicmoto.bsky.social•11 days ago

I see, good to know! Well, there's a lowered seat and lowered suspension available. Go get it! :)

johnmilbank.bsky.social•10 days ago

Too late... I swapped it for a GS!

I’d take the 700. Comes with bags, 12v and usb on the dash, the adjustable front suspension and twice the calipers despite only being 30kg heavier.

philharmonicmoto.bsky.social•11 days ago

The 700 is a better bike, no doubt. But on a budget, a 300 might be all you can afford. And the new MT has a USB port, YAY! :)

babylonstarmap.bsky.social•11 days ago

For sure. Realistically I can’t afford either haha. Not to mention I’m not sure if those models are available where I live.

nc400 kinda ticks this box

philharmonicmoto.bsky.social•11 days ago

What do you mean? A V4 small sportbike? If so, what would you mix from modern bikes to make something you like? Maybe a zx-4rr with a V4?

haldihoney.bsky.social•11 days ago

sorry i meant the cb400x. it just looks so much like an NC my brain makes the adjustment

philharmonicmoto.bsky.social•11 days ago

LOL! It is a great bike indeed!

philharmonicmoto.bsky.social•11 days ago

Also, it could be called Trac3r! Am i a marketing genius or what?

roadglide.bsky.social•11 days ago

Bigger is not better. Riding a bike should be fun, not work.

philharmonicmoto.bsky.social•11 days ago

Agreed with the fun, but this is about comfort: more leg space, upright-er position and wind protection.

Same simple formula a XSR 700 GP.

gimme that fast Eddie paint scheme and UDS forks…. In the U.S.

philharmonicmoto.bsky.social•11 days ago

That's a great idea! the GP is a beaut!
