[QUOTE="Papa54, post: 1461242, member: 88170"] I sat on one at the Mountain Motorsports dealership in Duluth, Georgia. It wouldn't be my choice for a replacement for the FJR. The salesman I spoke to had the opportunity to travel with a group riding a Tracer. He'd also traveled on an FJR. Without saying much he gave his opinion. One of which involved the vibration of the Tracer's three cylinder engine. My impression was that it's too tall, too short, and too small to accommodate long distance travel in comfort, with performance. I'm hoping Yamaha rethinks it. I doubt that the Tracer's fuel economy will be much better than an FJR also. I can achieve 48 mpg on a two lane road at reasonable speeds. I'd nearly bet money that the Tracer won't best the FJR in mpg by much. [/QUOTE]
