AT THE PROVING GROUND

0-60MPH 3.64s

Snappy gearing and grunt give amusing starts, but the Tracer is still quick – this is only 0.18s behind a BMW S1000R.

1/4 MILE 11.2s

Hitting 125mph in 11s is swift for an allrounder. For context, it’s identical to an old FZR1000 superbike. So quite quick.

70-0 MPH 53.4 m

Given wind, standing water on the test strip and keen ABS, this is good – it’s a metre less than a ZX-10R the same day.

40-80 ROLL-ON 6.04s

Open the gas at 40mph in top gear and hit 80 in six seconds. Not bad, though the Tracer feels even more flexible.
