The Tracer feels light and very agile but less stable at high speeds compared to the Fazer. It lacks power, and after 130 km/h, it accelerates very sluggishly. For everyday city riding, the Tracer is preferable, but the FZ6 is much more fun when you want to push it. I also liked the sound of the CP2 engine, which somewhat resembles a tractor, but even with the stock exhaust, it sounds interesting. Not sure if it was an ABS, but when downshifting, I managed to break the rear wheel loose, which I never experienced on the FZ6. For comparison, the tires were the same, so it’s definitely not a tire issue. I didn’t like the wind protection at all - it was more of a hindrance, and adjusting it only made it worse. However, this might be because it’s designed for an average-height rider. Both motorcycles weigh almost the same, but the FZ6 feels much heavier. I liked the front suspension; it handles bumps quite well, which can't be said about the rear. The rear suspension is too soft, and this might have been the reason for the rear wheel slipping, but I was riding with the default settings, so maybe it was just tuned that way. Overall, it's basically an MT-07, just a bit taller and with mediocre wind protection. It looks decent, but I wouldn't trade it for my Fazer.

I also have Fz6 s2. How do you compare them with Tracer?
