It’s been a fun-filled ten months and life won’t be the same now I’ve said goodbye to the Yamaha Tracer 900GT. With my longest solo tour to date, and weekends away with family and friends, I’ve been bitten by the touring bug and clocked up nearly 10,000 miles in the process. 1.

I’ve commuted from day one and with a fifteen mile round trip from home to office, my first rides were short and sharp. I soon got used to the upright riding position, realised the screen was awful and learnt which of the three riding modes suited my style. It didn’t take me long to realise that I only needed one riding mode, clicked to standard th...
Colour-matched panniers come fitted as standard, they look the part and held enough stuff for my ten-day trip to Italy. The only issue was, that after a couple of minor mishaps, they soon looked very tired and at nearly £400 a piece to replace, they’d need to stay shabby. With plastic shrouds partially covering the tank, I opted for the Yamaha acce...
Heated grips come fitted as standard and they’re good, with three heat settings, even on the coldest of rides my hands were warm. My only complaint, they’re niggly to operate, there’s a dial on the dash that clicks between various functions, it’s fiddly and for a ham-fisted fool like me, not the easiest to operate. I wanted to make the GT as comfor...
It’s with a heavy heart that I’ve said goodbye to the Tracer, it’s been one of my memorable riding years to date. If you want a bike to go the distance, whilst being nimble and agile enough for short blasts, the Tracer is well worth considering.
Published 1 February 2019 I hate to say it but I’m bored of the Tracer, well, let me be more specific, I’m bored of hearing myself go on about the ear-piercing noise that the standard screen makes. I’ve loved pretty much everything about the 900GT but after nine months of hearing a constant drone, I’m at my wits end and it’s only now, as I’m about ...
Published 29 December 2018 Our long hot summer is already a dim and distant memory and it’s time to embrace my winter rides on the Tracer 900GT. Chatting with the guys and gals of our #Ride5000Miles Facebook community, who ride thousands of winter miles between them, they suggest I douse the bike in anti-corrosion spray and fit as much heated kit a...
Published 1 November 2018 I’ve been stuck in a rut for years and never ventured out of my middleweight comfort zone but with big trips planned, the GT spec Yamaha Tracer with cruise control and colour matched panniers, tempted me. I was nervously apprehensive with the step up to the 847cc triple, 227kg bulk and 865mm seat height but from first ride...
Published 6 October 2018 There’s been a buzz around the office this week, with the arrival of the Yamaha Niken we’ve been squabbling over who gets first dibs to take it for a spin. I’ve waited patiently and today, in glorious sun shine, I bunk off for an hour’s bimble round the Cambridgeshire countryside. Familiar Yamaha key in hand I head out to t...
Published 27 September 2018 ‘Come on feel the noise!’ I have one gripe with the Yamaha Tracer 900GT, wind noise is at best annoying and at worst induces a headache. When I’ve chatted with owners of this and the first generation Tracer, wind noise and seat comfort are the main talking point I’ve ridden my mate’s earlier version and his screen deafen...
Apr 15, 2018 · 2018 Yamaha Tracer 900/GT first ride - full test. RIDING. I managed to squeeze a (dry) morning in on the Tracer 900 and a (wet) afternoon on the GT model. In terms of distance it wasn’t quite a full 18l tankful but pretty close.

Expert Review. Yamaha Tracer 900 GT Sports Tourer (2018 - ) GT review. The original Tracer 900 was a great bike, a faired, more long-legged version of the brilliant MT-09 roadster, now for 2018 it's improved with revised bodywork and seating while this top spec GT version, with panniers, adjustable suspension and more is even better yet.

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 ...
