Window shopping again

A buddy of mine lent me one of these for the afternoon. I rode from Port Perry to Fenelon Falls for lunch and back. Always liked these bikes but it was the first opportunity I’ve had to ride one. It was way faster than I thought it would be and a real nice bike to ride everyday. The one I rode was a 2019 model, they still make them but now they’re loaded with all kinds of technology that doesn’t really interest me.

I'm chronic shopper.

Studio Cycle had this 2022 v85tt with low km, full luggage set, heated grips, centre stand, cruise and some warranty left for sale so I decided to go look at it. I've wanted one since they came out. Next thing I know I'm putting a deposit on it, without having sold my current bike. Adam was great to deal with.

It's everything I hoped it would be and fun to ride. Plus I sold my other bike on Facebook in 3 days for full asking price.

Is this forum big enough for both of us?

Nice bike, enjoy it.

Today on my way into work, a guy pulled up beside me riding one of these. I took a good look at it for the first time and it's a really nice bike. There's very few newer bikes that interest me, but I think I would buy one of these.

its a very unique looking bike for sure.

Nothing sells like test rides, half the forum wants street triples all of a sudden now.

For real. It used to be that 1/2 the forum wanted a Vstrom, but ship has sailed:)

@Jayell how’re these things long distance?

In the market for a new bike, if the numbers work out, it will be one of these:

transalp
africa twin (base model)
Tracer 9



I Have a strong preference for hondas, but on paper the tracer 9 would be a really good fit as well, my only concern is reliability, the yamaha is japanese but its also full of huge amounts of electronic gizmos and toys and this is a bit concerning for long term ownership. Input from current/previous tracer owners is very welcome.




Im trying to be more financially responsible which is why im keeping certain other bikes off the list.

I'm sorry, I love the 900 triple on the Tracer 9GT but front of the bike looks like it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. I am in the market for another and would think about the Yamaha - that is of course they give her front end make over.

Until then I am considering the Tiger 900GT or the BMW 900GS

I still have eurobike PTSD from my recent experience with triumph.
