I ' m not a big fan of the tracers , I think they ' re really dull looking . Just my personal taste of course . I ' m also pretty much scrubbing Yamaha off my list . The MT 07 has been OK , but it has suffered from the dreaded stalling issue , and Yamaha were at best indifferent , at worst thoroughly dishonest with me about it Yamaha UK themselves said they weren ' t aware of the problem ? really ? Just Google it you fucking retards . Tiger definite possibility , probably the smaller one as this bike is at least some of the time going to be a commuter . BMW , also a contender for same reasons . The Versys and Vstrom are both a bit big , I think . Interestingly , as I was looking at these , I saw reference to the Honda Crossrunner that ' s got to go on the list , it ' s a VRF 800 in a Multistrada type frame . I ' ve never come across one before , which isn ' t necessarily a good sign , but it does seem to fit the bill . Bang on 10 grand too , from what I can see .
