Hey everyone,
I’m looking at buying a 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT here in Norway and wanted to get your opinion on whether this is a good deal or if I should pass (This is my first bike, after being a scooter guy for years).
Here are the details:
2019 model - 14,500 km
Full service done recently + brake fluid changed this month
Tires are less than 1 year old (New condition)
Price: ~9,500 EUR
Extras included:
Wide windshield, Tank bag, Tail/road bag, Engine crash bars
From what I understand, the GT version already comes pretty well equipped (cruise control, heated grips, quickshifter (up), etc.), and the bike has a strong reputation as a sporty touring bike
I’ve seen mixed prices around Europe, but averages seem to be somewhere around €7.5k–€8.5k depending on condition and mileage .
So my questions:
Should I go for it? :D
Does €9,500 sound fair in Norway considering the market?
Is the low mileage + extras worth the premium?
Anything specific I should check on this model before buying?
Appreciate any advice 🙌
Hi.
I've just bought this bike. I am wondering is this normal amount of wobble in the blinker switch? Or is something too loose etc. I am quite a newbie sorry. Bike has 15 000 km in it.
I’m looking at a stock, 24 MT-00 with 900 miles and he said he’d do $7800. No damages or issues, completely stock, clean title. The only thing is that the chain has some surface rust.m
Is it a good buy at 7800? I test road it and thought it was great mechanically and loved it.
Picked up my Tracer yesterday and went for ride down to Camber Sands, it's such a great bike after coming from a naked bike to this kind of bike I get why people get them, super compfortable cruise control is amazing, and damn can this thing move when it wants, even at 220kg it's so nimble in the corners, I'm so happy with this bike. I deffo need. Anew exhaust tho
I turn 29 this year, and after years of thinking about it, I finally pulled the trigger on my first bike. I’ll be honest—I didn’t go super deep into research beforehand. I just knew one thing: I didn’t want to end up outgrowing a 400/500 too quickly like a lot of people mention.
Originally, I went in looking for an MT-07, but it sold literally an hour before I got there. Ended up walking the lot and this 2019 R6 immediately grabbed my attention—the black and gold just hit different. None of the other bikes even came close for me.
It’s got about 18k miles, flash-tuned, with a stabilizer and a Yoshimura exhaust already on it. Definitely more bike than a beginner “should” get, but I couldn’t pass it up.
The first rides were humbling—stalling, learning the clutch, getting used to how aggressive it feels—but I’ve been riding every day since and improving fast. Taking it seriously, riding within my limits, and focusing on control and smoothness.
Honestly, I’m in love with this thing.
I know the “R6 as a first bike” topic can be controversial, so I’m open to any advice, tips, or things I should watch out for—both for the bike itself and for riding in general. Appreciate any input 🤝

Currently these 2 bikes are my finalists and am contemplating either one
Looking at a stock 2024 mt-09, base, 1.2k miles for $8500. Updates in gen 4: updates rear shock, slightly sportier riding position, gen 3 smoother quick shifter, updated customizable rider modes and safety settings, updated 5” dash with phone connectivity. $8500 and he’s 2 hours away, said it was tipped over and almost no damage.
22 mt-09 sp for $9k. 3k miles. Perfectly modded in my eyes, low miles, and never dropped. But it’s 3 1/2 hours away.
The 2022 MT 09SP is what I would consider a perfect spec for me, has all of the mods that I would already do to it. But I do like the technology updates to the gen 4 and that is way closer to me. I don’t track, I’ll commute and cruise for up to about an hour, and I occasionally go to back roads and twisties to enjoy the bike. I don’t need the extra performance of the SP and I bet the GEN four base would be just fine for me.
Considering the differences of the two bikes, considering the differences what would you choose and why?
I’ve had my bike (08 vstar 650) for about four years two years ago. I got into a little accident. The bike started and worked fine but after the accident, I let it sit without being used, i’m wondering what the proper steps to get in running again are,?. right before the accident I serviced the carburetor. So far what I’ve done is an oil change a final drive oil change a brake fluid bleed. What else should I do ?thank you.
I’m looking at two different bikes currently and was wondering if anyone had insight on what reasonable value is for them now, both have just over 30k miles, one is a 92, the other a 93, both been sitting, one runs, one doesn’t. Both clean bikes with titles, no major damage.
When I bought mine in a semi running state I spent $1200 for a 1990 with less than 9k miles, I’m gonna say I got a pretty good deal, but due to that my value gauge is off.
Any input is appreciated.

Hey guys, hope some can help me here. When I bought the bike it ran fine and rode it home. Changed oil and cleaned then parked for winter. It was on the charger the whole time. Now it won’t start. I put the jump starter to see if that’ll help but it didn’t. You can see the video of issue and maybe guide me in the right direction. Thank you.
I cannot for the life of me get this collar and stainless cap on. 2002 F225 4 stroke. It did not have the washers, nylon collar, and stainless cap when I took it apart. I have read where some of the earlier models didn't need these parts.
Hello! I am about to buy my first bike and more specific a Yamaha Dragstar 650 (vstar) because i think they look cool and heard they are good beginner bikes. But im wondering what i should be aware of when i go buy one. Is there any specific heads up for dragstars? or just some general info thats good to know would be nice!
Hello everyone, just got my new fz6 S2
Was wondering,
Has anyone ever come across any belly pan stl files?
Would love to get one but printing out of ASA almost seems preferable as I could play with it a little bit and make it my own.
Thanks and ride safe
I bought a 2006 Yamaha XT 660 R with 20K km. Is this original sprocket? What brand is it ?
