As usual, I rented this one in the evening.
It's hard to tell because it's dark, but it's a YAMAHA Tracer 900.
This is the fifth YAMAHA 3-cylinder model I've ridden.
This is the current model of the Tracer, which came out as the leggy version of the MT-09 series.
This time, the vehicle comes with a rear box. This is actually the first time I've used a rear box.
I rode the previous model MT-09 Tracer three years ago, but at that time, the engine of the vehicle I rented didn't feel good. The engine of the MT-09 I rented three years ago was not very good, it stalled when idling, but the engine of the newer MT-09 I rented last year was very good, so I rented the Tracer hoping for the newer model.
Second Tracer, better than last time at first.
So, for now, from the store to home.
The current model also has a completely different engine flavor and sound tuning than the previous model, right?
It's a great engine that has a light feel and a unique heartbeat in the low RPM range. The exhaust note is also a little louder than the previous model, and I think it's tuned to sound better.
The screen is also height adjustable, and the suspension is probably better. Well, I'm comparing with my memory of three years ago, so I may be wrong.
When I rode my Ninja 650 to the store, my hands were a little cold and I had to use the grip heater.
The rear suspension sinks well and feels better than last time. Well, maybe it's just a matter of the seat height being different.
Well, where should we go tomorrow (sleepyhead flag)?
I can't go to the mountains anymore. It seems to have snowed quite heavily in Gunma yesterday....
It's snowing heavily in northern Gunma (;_;)) and the mountain roads are covered with snow! pic.twitter.com/wS22ne5EQm
Hakone is no longer possible in the morning.
That means I'll have to go to one of the three major peninsulas, Boso, Miura, or Izu....
Now, where should I go?
