    I've not heard great things about the Tracer in terms of back problems, some say the riding position isn't great, don't quote me on any of this though

    My brother owns a Tracer and it is an all round awesome bike in every area. It is an upright riding position which suits me, but I know it is not everyone's cup of tea. The bars are adjustable forward and aft and the seat is easily lowered to fit the rider. At the end of the day, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. I would certainly not rule out a test ride on any of the MT09 variants, and especially the Tracer version if I was considering buying an all rounder do anything well machine pluggedinpete. Without being disrespectful to the Transalp, which is a great bike in its own right, the Tracer can really shift, and is a hell of a jump in power compared to the Honda.

    cheers guys!

    I love my Alp, but yeah, its a bit agricultural compared to other bikes in its class, but I've ridden so few bikes, its well past time for a change.
