2021 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT | First Ride In 4K.

We spent a day riding the all new Tracer 9 GT from Yamaha, the weather was crap but Chris still had a blast! Quote form Chris: "You can put sensible shoes and a waterproof coat on an idiot, it'll still be an idiot!".

Chris has to be one of the best road testers out there. Great review but I with keep throwing soft panniers on my MT10 and continue to tour on that as no MT10 Tracer looks to be happening.

I feel like Chris is in a league of his own in terms of Motorcycle Journalists. There is just something about the way he makes bikes I’m not even personally interested in sound exciting! Let alone the ones I’m actually considering purchasing. Always worth a watch to hear his thoughts 😁

You are by far the most liked Motorcycle Journo we have today, with most likes, Well done Chris Love from India.

[AndrasMihalyi]

You ride on wet roads, like I ride on dry ones 😁

This review is very well done; informative by design and exciting by default. The only feature I’d appreciate is simultaneously scrolling raw data/specifications.

Best sports tourer on the road today hands down.

Your enthusiasm and presentation are infectious- great mini review as usual!

Love what Yamaha is doing with these bikes, finally adding all the new tech with quick shifters, cornering ABS, etc. But whoever was in charge of designing their dashboards needs fired. This bike has the goofy split screen setup, which looks too small and hard to read. And the MT-09 has a nice looking one, but again, it's too damn small compared to the other TFT's from the likes of Triumph, BMW, and Ducati. Yamaha really messed that part of these bikes up.

I've had my tracer 900gt 3 years now and use it all year round, I love that you get so much with it such as heated grips luggage etc.will go for the new one next year, semi active suspension will be great 👍

Without a doubt, the best road tester on YT.

God damnit Yamaha give us the updated XSR

i really loved this bike 😻.. wow.. its beautiful... but i really hate that instrument cluster... very hard to read.. and i think thats the only demerit on this bike ❤️🔥

I’ve had mine 10 days, the best thing you can do with that screen is take it off!! It really is that bad, even at a slow 40 mph (in any position) speeds the wind noise & turbulence is horrendous…
After my first 100 mile ride it came off & stayed off! 👍🏻
Waiting for a decent aftermarket to become available.
Other than that one little easily fixed niggle, it really is an amazing bike for the money..
Very much looking forward to some (UK) Touring on her this year.

I've always been an old school cruiser guy, but this has me looking over the fence.

[danib]

is it suitable for a beginner? I want her

Yeh that dash is weird how they split it, I don't like it at first glance.
It's not bad but I think it feels a bit under for a sports tourer (rather SDGT) and a bit over for a commuter tourer (rather get the versys LT). I'm sure it will fit better for others but it just misses it for me.
Cheers

It doesnt look like youve ever done a test on a F900XR but have you ever ridden one to compare?

[Ricardo_Caracol]

That instrument cluster....no no no a big no for me!!! But great review

[BoDavid]

Its a shame they didn't use the old tracer 900gt screen... Love that tft screen

Been riding bikes 50 years and had the yammy tracer 900 gt for 2 years now, best bike I’ve ever owned 😊🤓, wish I could afford the new one, had r1 s, fire blades etc and I’ve come to the conclusion, who needs all that power except on the track . Good review of bike, but it’s a sports tourer, and I wouldn’t ride at that pace, you’d miss most of scenery etc 🤓😊
