There are very few manufacturers who use inline three-cylinder engines (triples) in motorcycles. The three main ones are: Triumph, MV Agusta, and more recently, Yamaha. Triumph has been doing triples for a long time. In the previous incarnation of Triumph, there was the Triumph Trident (different from the modern Triumph Trident) which also was the ...
In a nutshell, when Yamaha first released “this bike” for 2015, they gave it a few names: 1. Yamaha FJ-09 in North America (not to be confused with the FZ-09, the standard sport bike) 2. Yamaha MT-09 Tracer in Australia (not to be confused with the MT-09, the standard sport bike called the FZ-09 in the US) 3. Yamaha Tracer 900 in Europe Yamaha kept...
There are two levels for looking at how the Tracer has evolved over time. First, there are the headline differences between the Yamaha Tracer 900 and Yamaha Tracer 9, including the GT models. Here’s a table of how the Yamaha Tracer 900 /GT evolved to the Tracer 9 / GT / GT+: Second, we’ll look specifically at the extra things you get in Yamaha Trac...
The headline feature (for some, anyway) in the Yamaha Tracer 9 GT is the new engine. Like its predecessor, it’s a “nearly 900 cc” inline 3-cylinder 12-valve engine with dual overhead cams, liquid cooling, and a revvy character. Yamaha calls the Yamaha Tracer 900 / 9’s motor the “CP3” engine, meaning “crossplane three-cylinder”. The word “crossplane...
Both the Yamaha Tracer 9 GT and Tracer 9 base model (in Europe) get a twin 3.5-inch TFT display. Previously, the Yamaha Tracer 900 base model had a monochromatic LCD, whereas the Tracer 900 GT got a single TFT. The 2023+ Tracer 9 GT+ gets a single TFT again. Here’s what they all look like (click through). Personally, I don’t mind the LCD, but the t...
The original Yamaha Tracer 900 already had upgraded suspension compared to the MT-09 that it replaced, with increased damping, and adjustable preload and rebound damping on both the fork and rear shock. The Tracer 900 GT has higher-spec suspension again, with adjustable compression damping on top. The Yamaha Tracer 9 (base model) also has the same ...
Like its stablemates the 2021 MT-09 SP and the 2022 XSR900, the new Yamaha Tracer 9 GT gets a six-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), which means it gets cornering ABS and traction control. Yamaha was pretty early to the IMU game, but only in their superbike, the YZF-R1. The Yamaha R1 got its IMU first in the 2015+ generation. But Yamaha has been...
I always liked the Tracer 900 for being one of the more affordable middleweight sport tourers with cruise control. (See other affordable/mid-range motorcycles with cruise control.) The 2019 model Tracer 900 GT had cruise control, though the standard model did not. But the 2021+ Tracer 9 base model (where available… not everywhere gets it) has cruis...
If you’re looking at the Tracer 900 / Tracer 9, then you’re probably considering other middleweight adventure sports motorcycles. Basically, I’d put these as motorcycles that 1. Are between 800-1000 cc in capacity 2. Make around 100 hp (give or take not too much) 3. Weigh around 220 kg / 485 lb 4. Are more sport-focused (in their wheel/tyre setup a...
Like I said, I’m constantly drawn back to the Yamaha Tracer. Out of all of them, now that there are a few on the used market, I’d look at a 1-2 year old Tracer 9 GT that someone bought intending to ride around the country until sense got the better of them. A bike like that would only have a few thousand Ks or miles on it and would look new, but th...

Three-quarters of the sales of the existing Tracer 9 were of the GT model, while the demise of Yamaha’s old FJR1300 left a gap for a high-end tourer. Hence the GT+. One by-product of that, however, is that the new GT+ is far and away the most expensive Tracer so far, a launch price just shy of £15,000 meaning it’s nearly two grand more than the GT and best part of £4,000 more than the ...

The Sport Touring world changed forever when Yamaha launched the first TRACER. Its combination of thrilling torque-rich performance and remarkable long-distance comfort completely revolutionised the category. And since then, over 50,000 riders have chosen the TRACER and made it the best-selling model in the class.
Apr 24, 2019 · This bike could just be the answer. Yamaha’s Tracer GT 900 has all the fizz of the bonkers MT-09, with effective bodywork for high-speed comfort, a longer swing-arm for added stability with a pillion and a couple of very comfy seats. It also has a posh TFT dash, all the expected electronic rider aids, heated grips, luggage and a centrestand ...
