I go over 5 good and 5 bad points of the Yamaha Tracer 9GT, Yamaha's middle weight sports touring motorcycle is all new in 2021. Formally called the Tracer 900GT it still keeps its famous CP3 triple engine from the MT09.
It is a fun and fast sports tourer with panniers as standard and wind protection at the front. In competition with the new Honda NT1100 and the Ducati V2S, it is a competitive market. I get to know the bike better over a few days and go into detail of its good and bad points.

Nice review! I went from ducati multi 950 to this (due to accident) and is a better bike. maybe it does not have the brakes of the ducati but motor and handling in road is a lot better, performance better, engine sound better, drive in big traffic better without the ducati heat problem from the engine. On the other hand wind protection, button ergonomics and offroad capabilities are better in ducati.

@redangrevival 2 года назад

Hi, thanks I appreciate and glad you liked the review 👍 Hope you are ok after an accident? That is interesting to hear from an owner of both bikes, I have ridden the Multi 950 and agree with every point you mentioned. I think you have made a good decision! Cheers and enjoy your Tracer.

@piercingpete Год назад

I've owned the same GT9 for the last year and have done over 20,000km on it. I had heard complaints about the seat but it's good for me. I think overall its a great bike and my previous 3 were new S1000XR, S1000R and a 1200 Monster. I am really happy with it and think it's great value for money.

@redangrevival Год назад

Some solid miles you have put in there! I agree such great value for money and the more I ride this bike the more I like it 👍 I foresee one in my future garage!!

@mathias6423 Год назад

Any particular reason why you "went down" from a S1000XR to a Tracer 9 GT ? It thought the BMW felt faster and more premium compared to the Yamaha last time I rode it (2019 model). I do not think I would buy a Tracer 9 after owning the BMW if it were not for an economical reason perhaps. If it were not for KTM being so unreliable I could have tried the Super Duke 1290 GT after owning the S1000XR however.

@ThaSideWeed 2 месяца назад

@@mathias6423 Would be curious too. Although, for regular street riding, the tracer GT is somewhat "better". You have considerably more usable torque, and the geometry is a bit more aggressive and it's a bit less top heavy when filtering. Also the semi active suspension responds much better on the tracer in regards to comfort and gravel, at least. I couldn't properly test the stiffer setting, but felt that it doesn't perform as well. Many more differences, but I'd still take an XR.

I’ve put 13,000 km on my new tracer 9gt. I love it. As he said it has a great engine, shifter, brakes, suspension and handles awesome - thats 99.9% of a bike; no?. That said I bought a Corbin seat cause the tracer seat is hard and does lean you towards the tank. It sucks. And the Yamaha touring windshield is next, cause the stock one is crap if your 6’ or taller. In short - It’s a truly great bike ! And comes with luggage.

@redangrevival Год назад

👍 Sounds like you are enjoying your bike to the max, good to hear. It is a great bike, I am looking forward to riding the new GT+ model.

@ernieschatz3783 2 года назад

Most of your good and bad points are the same as other reviewers, so this seems legit. The one exception is vibration. I'd just like to add that what feels vibey to one rider isn't felt all that much by the next. This is the first time I've heard a reviewer say that vibes are a serious issue on the 9GT. I've test rode a Tracer 900 and extensively rode an XSR900. Both felt very smooth throughout the rev range; among the smoothest engines I've experienced. I've owned quite a few engine types, and some of the inline fours would put my arms to sleep. My Super Tenere's parallel twin produced vibes that I felt were the strongest, until I changed the exhaust. Anyway, the sensation of vibes from different bikes seems like it varies widely among individuals. Also, one person might experience vibes at higher or lower frequencies than another. I reckon that has much to do with body composition/physical makeup.

@redangrevival 2 года назад

Hi Ernie, yes you are exactly right in that different people experience different vibes etc... I have ridden some bikes that I have felt no vibes and other say it is terrible! I suppose the vibes are not that bad, I think it is getting used to the bike, but I definitely do feel some quick vibes especially at higher speeds. I often put it down to just getting used to a bikes characteristics, once you know the bike you learn to accept its different qualities (unless it is very bad!) I thin kyou are right about different physical make up etc... Cheers

@Ok-551 2 года назад

I’m thinking about this bike. I’m 6’4” and was looking at an fjr when a saw a used 2019 tracer. Moving from the fjr to the tracer I was blown away by the leg room. More than my GS. As much as I want another brand/model I now feel I have to give my body the tracer.

@redangrevival 2 года назад

I would say if you find it comfortable then that is a big plus point 👍 It took me a few days to get used to the bike, but I now really like it! Great package.

@mldiode Год назад

I had the 2015 model. Great Engine! Seat was horrible! I finally found a custom seat builder who took the stock seat plate and built a acceptable seat. I ultimately went with the biggest windshield I could find as wind buffeting was bad. I put over 33,000 miles on it and it was a blast! I miss it despite its pitfalls.

@alexmorgan3435 2 года назад

Good objective review. I could live with all the negatives you highlight except for the vibes. Such a shame as you say it is terrific vfm, but not if you can't live with the buzz through the bars and foot pegs. They would surely get to you and drive you nutz. Screen I am sure there are after market solutions, switch gear and dash you could get used to. Seat maybe the sit comfort is different for different riders? I believe it comes with luggage as well which makes it a very good deal indeed, although the panniers are a bit weird. The QS/down blipper sounds a delight.

@redangrevival 2 года назад

Thanks 👍 Yes it has grown on me a lot this bike. Really quite like it now! haha. The vibes are annoying, but it may just be me feeling them. Yes I think the seat could easily be changed to suit different people. A really good and sensibly priced motorcycle.

Thanks 👍 Although in the same category (sports tourer) it is a very different motorbike! The NT1100 is much more relaxed and calm. The Tracer 9 is more exciting to ride and more on the sporty side. I would say the NT1100 has better build quality and is really very nice to ride over long distances. However the Tracer is more fun for a "sporty" ride. Both great bikes 👍

@crumblymal8479 2 года назад

Interesting Angus so would you say that the MT's are also similar to the tracer as far as the switch gear and stuff goes as I would think it's the same , can't say it's my ideal bike really so probably would not even look it's way nice enough to look at tho : )
