Is there a forum as good as this one for the Tracer 9 GT? Or something close to it?

I have a 550. I had it repaired by “Dr. Palmpilot” and the internal memory upgraded to 4Gb. I still get map updates from Garmin.

I’m waiting for the Tracer 9 GT Plus that’s coming next year. It’s in Europe now but Yamaha has submitted paperwork to EPA for next year. The BMW F900XR and the S1000XR are feature rich but are more expensive. I’m tired of the top heavy weight of the FJR so I want to go lighter. I must be...
