★ 2023 YAMAHA TRACER 9 GT+ REVIEW ★

[@johnbateman3244]

I have a 2021 9GT and don't plan on changing anytime soon. It makes me smile. So job done. Noise is no problem for me as I'm very deaf due to work related hearing loss plus I always wear ear plugs to preserve what little I have left.

[@dougiequick1]

Just one thing I HATE about my 22 T9gt and that is I paid $16,200 OTD and right now I could easily beat that price by 2 or 3 thousand dollars ? with Yamaha rebating the dealers a couple thousand on 2022a and just generally wanting to unload that old inventory that STILL has not sold ....i dont know HOW they are going to sell more than a tiny number of GTplus models for like 18500 OTD when they are very much mechanically the same motorcycle one could get brand new for thousands of dollars less....I mean HOW much is one really going to us the radar cruise? And I mean a better looking DASH? How much can THAT actually be worth? The only thing that reall attracts me to uprading (which I AINT EVEN about to do lol) is the linked brakes....I love the IDEA at least of applying maximum brake pressure and the ECU maximizing BOTH front and rear to the BEST possible advantage (IF indeed it is capable of such)....and I mean Yamaha even increased rear rotor size to let ya know they are serious? Other than those things and maybe a better color? WHY would someone consider paying soooo much more money?? But hey maybe Yamaha is betting all those unsold 2022s will soon finally be gone? THEN who knows maybe the used market on 21/22 T9GTs will pick up rather than sinking further? But so long as I ignore what I paid? I do still LOVE my T9gt....she is just flipping past 10k miles i think Such an easy motorcycle to live with! SUCH a fun engine too!

[@raymondreid1414]

Just bought my 9 gt+. 1200km in and loving it. Living in the Spanish mountains it is ideal. Adaptive cruise control is awesome and takes some getting used to. All round brilliant bike.

[@rogermorse3939]

A really good, useful road test. No frills, just solid information on major and minor points throughout. Very impressed.

[@lestersmyth692]

Having owned a second generation 2019 model which I paid 8k for new I’m very much on the fence with this due to the price. They are a great all round bike with ok quality, would be good to see a better made exhaust as down pipes seem to corrode in no time at all. The CP3 engine must be legendary by now but I just can’t see the Tracer as a 15k bike. Great review Mark much appreciated.

[@dougiequick1]

The 21+ T9gts can be had brand new MUCH MUCH cheaper than the plus! Yamaha is kicking back $2k for each one US dealers sell (NOT a buyer rebate it goes to the dealer ) which is why the price tumbled on unsold inventory...zero reason one cant nail a $14k OTD deal right now on a brand new non plus GT in the US anyway....just show dealer all the bikes advertized reflecting that lower price at other dealers....these bikes did not sell anything as well as Yamaha bet they would....which frankly surprises me since I own one and know what a wonderful bike it is! What other bike at this price has this poer to weight? This awesome handling? This much fun? This RELIABLE!

Hi Mark. Great review. Funny enough, I ordered a new Tracer 9 GT Plus today, also taking advantage of the £1500 worth of free extras, absolutely amazing. I test rode this bike a few weeks ago, and it’s a fantastic bike with amazing spec, and what an engine! Can’t wait to collect it when it’s ready. 😁😁😁

[@gorrdd]

Thanks Mark. I always love it when you review this model. You are always so enthusiastic about it. And indeed you should be. You sold me with your reviews. I completely agree with you that the new improvements on the plus model are totally worth the extra money. Like you said, they improved the quick shifter, the seat is more comfortable and I believe it is heated as well. The ergonomics of the handlebar controls is set up much better with the new joy stick my menu selector on the left rather than the compression wheel on the right. And then the new TFT screen is better as well. Lastly, the linked brakes and adaptive cruise control with integrated braking, is just over the top. Was there any noticable improvement in the adaptive semi active suspension? Or did it seem the same as before? Fabulous bike for sure... Cheers, Gord

Hi gord there may be a few minor tweaks but it felt exactly the same as before. as in excellent 👍 Cheers mark

[@clivegoodman1149]

Just found this video again, forgot I commented last time. I did get the GT+ in May so had it all summer - now 5,000 miles on, it's brilliant. Head & shoulders over the Triumph 900GT, 900XR and the NT1100 and runs rings round the K100SX and S1000GT. All the new bits are well worth the extra especially the cruise control and that engine....

Hi Mark, so i cancelled my GT+ and went for a 2022 model instead and saved 5k, ultimately i am extremely happy the tracer is such an maazing bike, that tft does give me a bit of Envy but im not 100% sure if its worht the extra price. im still considering chopping in my 2022 for this model as the dealer said he will do me a good price but im just so indecisive

[@martinehulme8743]

If I'll probably never go off road but live in japan with a 60mph national speed limit, is this better than the transalp from honda?

[@jreberanlc]

I got the 2021 GT version. Would have liked the GT+ but got min a month ago for 9k with only 711 miles on it. I just could justify spending thousands more for the lovely TFT and adaptive cruise. I'm very happy with the value for money I got - but I just wish it had that tft screen - so much better than the crappy groucho Marx version I've got. Still, I placed my phone in the middle so that I cannot see the nose! That helps

[@bubaaa4989]

Hi Mark, long time fan here. Your review on Trk702x made me do the test ride on that bike and picked it up as my first bike :) Now Im quite tall, 195cm or 6"4/5. Do you think this bike would suit me with seat on highest setting? Cheers bud

Hi yes fine ... It's a physically big bike and you'll be fine on the highest seat setting:) Best wishes mark

[@pistolpete6321]

Great review Mark. Looks like a fantastic sports touring motorcycle.

[@epicrider819]

I have started riding the same model in the same color since early Nov (this month). I already have MT10 (2022 MY) and Nmax 155 (2020 MY) and I have been undecided what to add for the 3rd bike in my garage. After GSX-S1000 (2022 MY) and XSR900 (2022 MY), I arrived at Tracer 9 GT+. I was thinking which to get: Tmax560 Techmax, Tenere 700, and etc. I just realized Tracer 9 GT+ could cover most of those bikes can offer on the pavement, as I don't do off roading. My MT10 has the cruise control as well. Now with Tracer 9 GT+, I think I am going to be spoiled for my future taste for motorcycles.

[@nicholascrocker4329]

Having had four BMW GS’ I am thinking of getting a different motorcycle. I thought the new Yamaha Tracer 9GT+ might fit the bill despite having a chain rather than a shaft. I arranged a test ride only to be seriously disappointed. Engine felt frantic and busy. Quick but, unsurprisingly, lacking the grunt of the GS. But by far the biggest problem was the noise. A loud constant droning and general loud noise coming from the exhaust. Cruising on a short dual carriageway at 70mph I came to the conclusion that a long journey would be intolerable. Strangely in all the reviews I have read this issue is not mentioned. Surely it can’t be just me to notice this. I assume that because the exhaust exit is pointing downwards the noise is ‘bouncing’ off the road and up to the rider. I got back on GS and after riding a few feet I had a big smile on my face.

[@markpulling12]

Hi Nicholas.... having ridden the tracer 9 for many miles I know this noise you're talking about ...plus I've ridden GS....it's a busy revvy engine for sure ...I think it's a case of you either like it or you don't ...but it's great to have so many fantastic bikes to choose from Best wishes mark

[@AnonTet]

The noise you hear is actually more intake noise than exhaust. It's designed like that. I love it and I know some who want it even louder. So much so, mt-09 revisions even have open areas like the mt-010 and specially designed intake valves. Yamaha does know a thing or two about music ;) And you surely can't compare a 900cc triple with the massive (and ugly) 2 cylinders nearly 500cc more. Let's compare oranges with oranges, not apples.

[@ChipZilla69]

Have your tried the triumph Tigers? I imagine they are much the same as your gs. I passed my test on the weekend and am looking at the 2024 tiger 900

[@AnonTet]

@@ChipZilla69 I tested the Tiger 900 Aragon Edition too. If you plan to ride with pillion, go test it with a pillion. The vibrations were not that good in the back seat (feedback promptly given to the dealer at the time). I tested the road version not the off-road biased one. If you plan on riding alone, actually very cool. I liked how the screen allows for air to move along but no buffeting with seat on lowest position and screen on high It's fresh but not windy. Kind of a first to me actually, nice touch. But again, test it. No lack of engine, quite comfy while riding for about 1h straight - 2 up - however, on a sunny day, getting heavy traffic on the way back the heat with the fan working was quite intense as I had to slow ride and stop for a couple of minutes at a time. Was kind of frugal but as always, depends on the right wrist. You can adjust the rear suspension on the fly with a few preset options that were fine to me. It invites for a relaxed journey and it's not the quickest to turn in but it stays planted and holds the line well. Good brakes too, nice dash (loved all the themes). The quickshifter requires a bit of pressure making it a bit harsh. Maybe it required a bit more use. It works perfectly though. I would've like to test with panniers and top case but dealers won't let you have those to test on higher cruising speeds. Can't comment on the lighting, especially while cornering though. It was day time and I had to return it to the dealer. It looks good in red :)

[@ChipZilla69]

​@@AnonTetthanks for the detailed feedback. I do not intend to ride with a pillion. I suppose the best thing i can do is test rides a few bikes. I learned on a 750gs.

[@beverleynorth4914]

How do you rate it compared to BMW x900xr

Hi Beverly the tracer 9 always beats the BMW XR in most of the group tests ...it's engine is just more engaging and fun ...the BMW is a great machine..but the tracer handles slightly better aswell Best regards mark

Would this have enough power and comfort for 2 up with the side cases on? Thanks and great review.

[@markpulling12]

Hi Bob yes definitely...Ive done exactly that for about 300 miles and it's very comfortable for the passenger Cheers mark

[@JonFea-e5y]

Excellent review Mark. a friend of mine has the previous 2022 Tracer 9GT which I have ridden. Apart from the split dash (which I do not like) the only issue with the bike is the semi active suspension which he and I found is not great. Way too harsh and it is impossible to get a more compliant setting. He took it to the only suspension specialist here that would work on it and he did achieve a slight improvement - but to be honest, my Honda CB300R has far better suspension on rough roads. My friend has grown frustrated with this issue on the Tracer - now for sale and looking at the new BMW GS1300. There is a UTube clip on the Tracer highlighting this problem with the previous model suspension and it describes exactly how bad this is. Do you know whether Yamaha have re-worked the suspension on the 2023 Tracer GT+ and fixed this issue? The new display is a huge improvement over the previous split screen. Look forward to your comments. Cheers, Jon

[@markpulling12]

Hi Jon thanks for your great comment ...yes the tracer is set up on the firm /sporty side ...I guess it kind of suits the eager engine.... something like a tiger 1200 is more compliant in it's suspension.. Best wishes mark

[@JonFea-e5y]

Thanks Mark. Appreciated@@markpulling12

[@JonFea-e5y]

Mark, do you think the suspension on the 9GT+ is an improvement in terms of harshness over the previous model, or not much change in your view. Appreciate your opinion. Jon

[@BreezyRider66]

What a great bike, it really is about time they all got their acts together with screens though - any screen that's remotely vertical needs enough adjustment to be able to set it just below eyeline level of a good range of rider heights. It's that simple. Worst I've had was Triumph Tiger Sport 1050 I had no end of pissing around getting something that worked. Otherwise it was a lovely, relatively analogue bike...

[@rickcrane839]

This is the first Japanese bike in a very long time to appeal to me with its design language.

[@hotdoug1000]

I started watching this when you aired then realised it was the T9 not the T7. Let's see you on the smaller one. This is the third time you've done a T9 yet I can only see you did a T700 years ago.

[@sandwaves5642]

.....What do they think next, u say ? - well, they have already applied for a auto-gear box, so ACC + auto gear.... Will be good. Pity you didn't show - how the front light is - in the dark, but it's probably not very bad. Had MT07 before - even there was OK....

[@frantisekjuhas1672]

Hello, did you feel any improvement regarding vibrations compare to 9GT or Kawasaki Versys 1000? Thank you 😊

Hi the versys is benchmark smoothness imo ...this has a slight vibe at 6 k but isn't annoying...both are superb bikes but I'd go for the lighter tracer cheers mark

You’re right, what about those bikes? I’m from Canada and I hadn’t heard about those bikes so I searched them up on YT. Cool bikes, I like the Voge.

[@MGman100]

Another quality review Mark. I have a 2022 T9GT. I reckon this is far too expensive and definitely not worth the extra money. The T9 is a good bike, very flexible and a good tourer, but I actually think my Triumph Street Triple had a better engine. The windscreen is awful and is well known problem. Buyers need to be aware there are a fair number of owners who've had problems which almost make the bike unrideable involving remaps, throttle position sensors and throttle bodies. This includes some people who've just bought the GT+ although i haven't experienced any issues. I've done 8k miles, including riding in floods on Dartmoor and the bike hasn't missed a beat. However, the bottom line for me is that the finish is extremely poor after one winter which is why i will not be buying another Yamaha. 😢

[@MK-bk6nt]

In my opinion finish quality is the worst thing in this motorcycle. Im in tracer group many motorcycles, from people who lives for example in UK, looks like a shit after a year. Anodizing everywhere.

[@olethorhermansen5696]

3 cylinders is a great engine layout. If Yamaha were to give it a shaft drive, a proper, functional mudguard and a pair of fork legs in a less hideous colour, this could be a great bike. Something to consider, Yamaha.

[@jmulroy1]

Shaft drive would make this the ultimate Sport Touring bike. Yamaha still sells the Fj-1300, but for me that wasn’t a comfortable setup. Don’t know why manufacturers don’t install proper mudguards front and rear. Form over functions

[@Cycle9568]

I like the gold fork legs.

[@olethorhermansen5696]

@@Cycle9568 You're in luck then, golden fork legs are everywhere these days. They just never match anything else on the bike, just as on this Yamaha.

[@alexmorgan3435]

And how much extra cost is the addition of a shaft drive going to make? Quite a bit I should guess. The gold front forks look awesome. Some people just love to moan. This bike is an excellent all round package.

[@olethorhermansen5696]

@@alexmorgan3435 How much extra? A few percent I would guess, for a company with the volume of Yamaha, a shaft drive is hardly rocket science. Back in the 1970's, 80's and 90's all the Japanese manufacturers made a variety of shaft drive bikes, and they weren't noticably more expensive than their chain driven ones. Anyway, belt drive would be fine too, but on a touring bike like the Yamaha GT chain drive sucks. I just find it strange to make the fork legs the centre piece of a motorcycle, which is what happens when they have a colour that doesn't match anything else on the bike. I could understand the wish to highlight them, when upside down forks were a novelty, but that's hardly the case anymore. There are definitely worse examples out there than the Yamaha though.

[@alenfora1400]

All the new bikes look great but as soon i see a chain its a no for me and dont look at bmw there is the super tenere 1200 with shaft

[@AnonTet]

i'm 180cm. The bigger screen does a slightly better job. No noticeable buffeting (seat on lower position mind you) but you do hear the noise. Where the bigger screen does make a difference is with the wind in your arms. After 1300Kms I don't think I'd go 3rd party yet. Unfortunately as everyone else you focus on what everybody knows (engine, QS and chassis, comfort) and forget about all the rest like 2 up, riding with full luggage, night drive (lights and cornering lights), driving in the rain... And you have a couple of inaccuracies there, like the seat. Do try 3h drive not 1h with stops for pictures and whatever vloggers do. BTW, it's really bad with the seat in high position. One of these days I might start moto vlogging myself because I have not seen a really full review on this, or any other bike. Why do everyone thinks motorbikes are only used by one person during day light? That being said, I'd choose to own this bike again even with the news coming for 2024. The reasons? well, just watch the video or any other video about this motorbike as they're all the same (true for any motorbike review).

@@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne Emphasis on *I might*. If I could, I wouldn't need to watch other's reviews. Actually help me decide though after testing myself with the wife - important to me, obviously. There is room for improvement. Even in long term reviews fail on the points I mentioned (which it would be what I'd mention) Yes, I also understand the recording difficulties at night let alone while riding a motorbike. Probably loans don't even allow that. Not here that I know of anyway. But I understand what you mean, though I meant it in a way that expresses my feel about reviews in general. All of those you mention do a great job (I watch some and and other's you didn't mention) but, again, I'd like to see more. Take as a constructive criticism, opportunity to improve. Just criticism is rather pointless. If it came across as offensive, it wasn't my intention. But I'd actually think it would be fun to try, especially in a foreign language (like english). Anyone care to send me an insta360 camera? I'd be fine with a insta360 One RS Twin as well :D

The TFT and the ACC are worth the price of admission. You'd have to pay a LOT more to have the same things on other brands. Not saying it is cheap by any means. It's one of those cost vs value cases. I for one can't stand the Wall-E face of the other models and I wanted ACC to give an example. If you don't need this the cheaper versions will do the same (ok not the lower model without the fancy suspension)

An amazing bike….just lacking shaft drive.

[@dougiequick1]

All the reviews indicate a range of about 200 miles or even less but in reality if you are on the highway not screaming it not bucking headwinds or hauling a pillion and luggage etc it is not unusual at ll to get 50mpg US (US gallons are significantly less than UK gallons just bear that in mind) so with its 5 gallon (again US) fuel tank you actually might squeeze 250mile range out of this bike and I would say IF you had to? And actually made to effort to conserve? As in actually going the speed limit etc on the highway not cracking the throttle every chance etc? Then absolutely you COULD get 250mile out of a full tank....again no headwind no luggage and pillion etc. I dont normally ask it of my Tracer 9gt I just know it CAN because after 200 miles I can only get 4 gallons US into the tank....now the low fuel light and fuel guage will have you believing you are running on fumes early on when it just is not so....I wish I could get anything like my Tracer's range on my MT-10 (Empty Ten) which absolutely SUCKS for fuel range....As always however YMMV lol

[@GameWinner85]

For this price, better probably get Tiger 1200cc :DX 2k more :D

Great honest review... the CP3 is without doubt the only star of the show. I’ve got the previous model the 9GT. Screen is horrible, noisy and turbulent. This plus model is no way a £15k bike, add luggage and you’re looking at £16,500, no way!! I paid £13k for the previous model new, 6 months and 5,000 miles later and I’ve had a part exchange valuation of just £7,500... You buy this plus model expect to lose big money at resale!!!

Beautiful bike Mark. I sat on one today, an absolute beauty. The front screen looks a bit basic. So many modern bikes are going the KTM Wildebeest look.
