Yamaha TRACER 9 GT

The Yamaha Tracer 9 GT is the flagship sport tourer of the Tracer range, taking the same characterful 890cc CP3 triple and adding the equipment needed for genuine long-distance, two-up travel. It is built for riders who want sports-bike performance without ever having to leave real comfort or carrying capacity behind, ideal for those who have outgrown a middleweight but still want genuine agility alongside touring credentials.

The liquid-cooled 890cc triple, with its 78mm by 62.1mm bore and stroke, DOHC with four valves per cylinder and an 11.5 to 1 compression ratio, produces 87.5kW, 119PS, at 10,000rpm and 93Nm of torque at 7,000rpm, but here it is sent through Yamaha’s Y-AMT transmission for smooth, clutchless gear changes on demanding days, whether that means filtering through city traffic or holding a high-speed cruise for hours at a time. The controlled-fill die-cast aluminium frame with its own subframe keeps the chassis both light and rigid enough to handle that performance with confidence.

Electronically adjustable KYB suspension reacts to riding style and load in real time, working through the same 41mm front fork and single rear shock layout as the standard Tracer 9, while twin 298mm front discs with four-piston Nissin calipers and a 245mm rear disc deliver strong, consistent stopping power through seventeen inch wheels shod in 120/70 and 180/55 rubber. A full IMU-based rider aid suite manages traction and stability, and cruise control plus heated grips make genuinely long days in the saddle far less tiring, with fuel consumption of 5 litres per 100 kilometres keeping range predictable. At 231kg with an adjustable 810 to 825mm seat height, it carries its extra touring equipment without losing the poise that defines the wider Tracer range.

Integrated, colour-matched panniers turn the Tracer 9’s sporting edge into genuine two-up touring capability, while a comfortable dual seat and generous wind protection keep both rider and passenger fresh over a full day’s ride, and a 19 litre tank rounds out a package built for real mileage in comfort. It suits riders who want sports-bike performance with proper long-distance credentials.
