I had a Super Tenere. Became very ill in 2014 and found the ST too heavy, just getting in & out of the garage let alone on the road. I had an MT07 as a loan bike for a service and found it nice to ride, then found there was a Tracer due. Test rode the 1st Tracer to arrive at my dealer and ordered one. That bike reinvigorated my bike riding. Light, easy to manage and plenty quick enough. I was putting on an average 1000 miles a month, commuting and touring.
In Sept 2016 I took a R1200RS for a test ride and had to have one. Rationalisation was to split my mileage across 2 bikes. Sadly, the Tracer just languished in the garage as its bargain basement suspension was all too evident against the RS. My work role changed, needing a car more often so even the commuting miles dropped off. After 16,000 miles and a little over 2 years I chopped the Tracer in for a Tiger Explorer - now I have 2 bikes with posh electronic suspension. RS for shorter rides as the riding position bothers my hip after 100 miles. Tiger for longer trips as it is very comfortable but too heavy to use for everyday riding. I don't have any chains either.
If you buy a Tracer, buy it for what it is, a cheap bike with adequate performance. Don't try to make it what it isn't by spending a grand on suspension upgrades and £300 on a remap. It is fantastic value for money, weighs a little over 200kg and will take you and a pillion across Europe. I did fit a different screen and seat to make it more comfortable. Fit Givi luggage as this is better than the OE stuff. Fit a Tutoro chain oiler.
