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.

</3 What did you do to our beloved BP? You monster 😄

I was going to suggest a Multi V2, but my Ducati recommendations are probably getting a little tiresome by now.

I saw that you just came back from demoing a Versys 1000. Would that be the best bike for your passenger?

A couple of years ago, my wife sat on the pillion seat of the new Tracer 9 at one of the winter shows. She really liked the seat.
 
The two Honda's are designed for some offroading whereas the Yammie is not. If going offroad isn't in the cards there's better options than either of those Honda's.
The Transalp is as exciting as a toaster.

The big versys is excellent, but its a bit outside what im willing to spending 😲

BP is all grown up now
 
If the Tracer is on your list also consider the Suzuki GSX1000GT. It's cheaper and that motor is both fun and bombproof.
