- Yamaha Tracer 900 has been around for some years now, with the same CP3 Engine the beating heart. But Yamaha Tracers over the years have had their problems, Uncomfortable seats, Soft suspension, Terrible split TFT screen and wind noise problems.... So has the Yamaha GT plus model fixed these problems? Is this now the perfect sports tourer or another could have been from Yamaha?
Great review, so the big question… would you trade your Africa Twin for the tracer GT plus?
It's a great video, but it's funny how people overlook the brilliance of the bike's features such as the engine, comfort, and steering, simply because of the dashboard. Let's be honest, the dashboard doesn't play a big role as most of the time we're focused on the road and enjoying the views.
rear schock is semi active just like front..preload is manual on both end. and please..change Title of video...this is not Yamaha Tracer 900 GT plus it is Yamaha Tracer 9 GT plus
yamaha have destroyed this bike (aesthetically) from the 2015/16 model.
Sorry meant to say in last comment you definitely do not want to be using adaptive cruise control in icy or wet roads. Especially on a bike. its bad enough in a car or truck. Not trying to be negative. Just helping all stay safe on the roads.
I made the bad mistake of buying one, had it two weeks, hated the damn thing....sold it back to the shop.
I have the 9gt with the goofy screens. To be honest they don't bother me but what an amazing bike, me and the wife are out on it all the time. 2 up is a breeze with this bike and its so stable . I love it, but get the top box your pillion will be so comfy 👍👍👍
It’s a new engine 890 cc now ! and new frame from 21 onwards so much better than the old old model
Sat on one today in a showroom with my wife on the back to make sure she was happy. As she got off she fell and went flying I managed to grab her and cushion the fall and saved the bike ;-]
The seat and pillion are available, each one separately, as upgrades on the T9 and T9 GT.
The video title failed. It confuses the viewer as the test is for the gen 2 "Yamaha Tracer 900" and not for the Yamaha Tracer 9GT+
I bought this exact bike back in August, replacing a Kawasaki 900RS I’d owned for 5 years. I also own a BMW 1250RT but that is for two up touring. Prior to the RT I’d owned an FJR (4 in all) for years, so am well versed in Yamahas. I can endorse everything you say in the video. The handling is excellent, the engine is superb, and the comfort is great. It’s a bit less comfortable for pillions and, after the RT, the luggage is only okay, but more than adequate for one up touring. Yes, the adaptive cruise is great, the dashboard is excellent, but it could do with self cancelling indicators, and the switchgear is somewhat cluttered and can be fiddly. Not mentioned in the video (because you didn’t connect your phone) is the GPS via phone arrangement. It really is poor. The connection to the phone can be quite fiddly and the mapping is very basic, not even including a winding routes option. But, hey, just mount a Tomtom or Garmin and you’re sorted.
Thanks, just subscribed to your CZcams channel, fantastic review & would love one of these 👍
I will have to test one of these. Great video!
Good luck Shaun ignore the silly comments you won’t feel like doing much till you know what’s going on take care
Great review thanks 👍.... great bike, except panniers are not great visually. I sat on one in local dealer and problem is my left heel touches the centre stand lever...
Great video and a nice bike, I've never ridden the new Tracer 900. I came close to buying one about 18 months ago but finished up with a Kawasaki Versys 1000, which I didn't keep for long as it was just way too top heavy with luggage and a pillion 😮💨Odd how the Tracer has electronic front suspension but manual rear?? I love the radar cruise control, so much less faff!
Looks really good. Funny thing is the old dash is one of the things that put me off a few years ago 😂
Great video as always 👍
Adaptive cruise is good for than long hauls on motorways but on my 1290 Ktm adventure you could use it even at 30 mph to keep a safe distance in town and on motorways if you pull out from behind that lorry it automatically goes back to the set speed but you didn’t show that in the video but I enjoyed the video and I might go try one out happy days 👍
