They’re important models for Yamaha, with nearly 65,000 units shifted since the first Tracer was launched. That’s given the Tracer and GT a 44% share of what Yamaha (and probably no one else...) describes as the ‘Upper Mid-sized Versatile’ segment of the market. For 2021 the whole MT-09/Tracer/GT platform was due for an update to hit new Euro 5 nor...
At £10,199 on the road, the standard Tracer 9 is about a grand more than the MT on which it’s based, which is about what we expected. The Tracer GT is £12,199 on the road - the two grand gap seems like a lot at first glance, but if you added all the GT’s bells and whistles to the Tracer 9 as optional extras, they’d add up to a lot more than that (j...
It’s basically straight from the MT-09, which we covered in depth when we rode it a couple of weeks back. But let’s a have a quick recap. At first glance the engine looks the same, but under the skin it’s heavily updated. The most obvious change is clear from a quick glance at the spec sheet - an extra 3mm on the stroke to take capacity up by 42cc ...
Here’s where we have to start differentiating between the base model Tracer 9 and the GT. Standard Tracer 9 first. At first glance it’s the same set-up as the MT-09, with 41mm upside down forks and rising rate monoshock, bolted to a new chassis made by an innovative die-casting method which allows very thin walls where possibly (just 1.7mm in place...
As with the engine, pretty much all the rider aids are carried over directly from the MT-09, although there are slight differences between Tracer 9 and GT specifics. Taking the Tracer 9 first, it has cornering ABS – which is switchable although I doubt most owners will ever want to do so. It also has lean-sensitive traction control (TCS), but added...
If you liked the older model Tracers, then you’ll like these, no question. You’re getting the same recipe as before, with a bit of added spice in the shape of more torque and more tech. They’re both genuine all-rounders, equally suited to daily commuting, weekends away or longer two-up trips. And they wouldn’t disgrace themselves (or you) at any tw...

- That Triple! In a world full of parallel-Twins, V-Twins and inline-Fours, an inline-Triple marches to a different drummer. It produces good low- to midrange torque as well as a top-end rush, and its sound is truly unique.
- Curb weight is still around 500 pounds. Traditional sport-tourers like the Yamaha FJR1300, BMW R 1250 RT, and Kawasaki Concours 14 have curb weights well over 600 pounds.
- It has the seating position of an ADV but the handling of a sport-tourer. Greg’s Gear: Helmet: Scorpion EXO-R1 Air. Jacket: Scorpion Optima. Gloves: Scorpion Havoc.
- New semi-active suspension provides a magic-carpet ride. Semi-active suspension, where sensors on the fork, shock, and elsewhere on the bike provide input to a suspension control unit that adjusts damping in real time, has been around for a while.
Nov 17, 2020 · At the top of the Tracer range is the new GT model that is now the highest spec machine in the Yamaha sports touring line up. It features all the updates as the stock bike, with a host of touring specific additions to make long-distance riding substantially more comfortable.
