More videos to come! I even made a playlist specifically for bike reviews :) ruclips.net/p/PLC0dZgVosHtsxPvzkIDswjw2YjCVodY6Y
I've watched all of your videos. I distilled them into 5 key lessons for saving my life: Lesson 1: You are the worst judge of your ability. People always overrate their own skill level.
Lesson 2: Invest in yourself, not your bike. What good is an additional 100bhp when you’ve done no skills courses for a year.
Lesson 3: Never ride above your ability. If you think you will lose your group, then lose them.
Lesson 4: Going fast and straight is easy. Coming to a stop quickly is much harder.
Lesson 5: If you can master control of your bike in slow tight turns then you can near-dammit do anything!
Yup...yes! Yup again....yes! true!
Must be doing something right, he has 175k followers for his 'entertainment'.
Same engine as the XSR900 I used to own...fantastic engine, one of my favorites!
Congrats on the new MC!
Thanks! :) I love it!
Congrats! You weren't the only one who got new Yamaha. Just bought my first new bike today, an MT-07. Love the Tracer! Thanks for your great videos and hope you enjoy your sweet new ride!
Good choice!
congratulation on your new bike, love that you try all different bikes to suit your needs.
Yes!!
Congrats to you on that, great looking bike. I just picked up a V-Strom 650 today 😀.
Thanks
You'll probably love the V Strom.... many thousands of riders do.
Ron Batt Yes it’s great!
Loved hearing your comment that the bike is powerful without being too powerful for the road. As a new rider, your philosophy and videos have taught me the benefits of practice and have allowed me to appreciate my own Yamaha more and more. Could you recommend any good intermediate to advanced rider courses here on the east coast? Not too much to choose from here in NC.
Awesome!! I'm not sure what's near there but check these schools motojitsu.com/courses
Mason Wagoner I’m in NC too, near the coast, and there’s a course named MotoMark that offers advanced instruction.
I'm in Durham. New Rider here as well, just took my MSF at the Harley dealership. The instructors said they offer advanced courses but not enough ppl sign up so they rarely actually teach them.... What yamaha do you own?
Welcome to the Tracer GT club.Had mine since last November and absolutely love it.Can't wait to see your updates on it.
Welcome aboard!
Mr Jitsu/ Moto Sensei
I just bought the Triumph Tiger 1200! I was going to buy the Tracer GT because I love the bike but they cut me a deal on the Tiger with the factory panniers and made it a no brainer. Since I already have all the Triumph Gear, it works even better for me. The Tiger was originally $21,000 and they gave it to me for $14000 because I have purchased so many bikes from them in the past 40 years. It was more than the Tracer but not by much. Enjoy the Tracer! It's called the "Hooligan" adventure bike because of it's MT09 blood and the super suspension setup. My 2018 Thruxton R with the Cafe fairing is great for short trips. I sold my 2017 Rocket III because it was painful to ride on trips more than 2 hours. I need a bike that I can ride for 14 hours in a relaxed position because like you, I want to se all of the USA on a bike.
Another fantastic video Sir Motorcycle Sensei! 👍✌
Thanks 😊
I've had this bike for 7 months and done 9500 miles. I love it too.
nice!
Awesome! I'm picking mine up next week. Ive literally never commented on RUclips before but I felt this was worthy. Ive watched a ton of videos on this bike leading up to pulling the trigger but it's great to see a review on the bike from you! Thanks for sharing and congrats on the new ride!
Glad it was helpful!
Rented one of these in Vegas last year and loved riding that machine. Awesome all-rounder and that engine is such a gem. Congrats!
It sure is!
I have a 2019 and I love it! Stoked you got this bike!
:)
*has 7 years in riding experience*
"I'm not skilled enough to use all the power in those bikes."
Dude you're so humble!!
this bike I can finally use most of it ;)
Nice bike! I've owed the 2015 Yamaha MT-09 Tracer for over 4 years! Love it. Love the hair much better as well. Cheers for the videos.
Thanks! 👍
Congrats! Bless on you and your new bike!
Thank you so much 😀
Hey Greg great to see you make the move to a Yamaha tracer. I have a 2015 900 tracer for over a year now done a few big trips along the Australian East Coast. The more you ride this bike the more you will enjoy it. I am so glad I purchased this bike having an absolute blast on every ride I go on. Yamaha have done an outstanding job on this model bike. Love the channel you are inspiring me to do my own. 👍
Thanks!!!
Congrats! I've thought about buying that or the 2019 Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE LT +. I went for the Versys 1000 because of the electronic suspension, quickshift up & down! Enjoy the bike and ride safe!
thanks
I have the 2015 tracer. Had it 3 years. Love this bike, ridden to the Alps twice on it and I'm still not bored of it!
nice!
Congrats on the new ride! I bet you’ll love it. I had a FJ-09 several years ago. It was a lot of bike for the money, but it left me wanting just a couple of things. The new Tracer GT appears to address everything I wanted and it sounds pretty much perfect. That 850 triple is a gem!
thanks
My husband is a GS guy- and at bike week (before they cut it short this year), he tested that bike and also loved it!
Enjoy it!!
nice bike!! :) I had one but this is more sporty for me with the 17" rims :)
MotoJitsu® but my advice is to buy new tires for those nice rims. because Dunlop is the worst thing that ever happened on this motorcycle
Awesome choice, this bike is one I've been considering for some time. A beauty for sure, and you're gonna be able to tour effortlessly!
YESSS I freaking love it...663 miles in a few days...just great!
@@MotoJitsu the ground clearance is bad tho. Great kit for the price
MotoJitsu® I just bought an f800gs. Maybe we should get some motojitsu touring action🤩
Congrats! You deserve it for sure. And thank you for all the good lessons.
Thank you too!
Hi Greg, I'm sure you hear it often, but I'm a fan, it's just the way it is... and this since I happened to stumble upon a video of yours last year while I was trying to get my motorcycle license... at 37 years of age...😊 I've never rode a motorcycle before I've started my "adventure" last year, I've learned a lot and I got tons I still have to learn, but I'm getting there... ✌🏼😅😉 ... and I have to say you've helped me a lot, and want to thank you for it.
Now, back to the topic, I just want to congratulate you on the new bike, you well deserve it! Take care of yourself my friend (if I may call you that, although we obviously don't know each other), stay safe and sane in these crazy times, and wish you millions of wonderful miles on your bike! Love and respect from Austria! 🍀
Thanks Alex :)
Bike looks great. Nice choice. Welcome to the Yamaha brand :) Couple of tips..On the side cases (same fastening as on my FJR) make sure you always double check they are locked correctly in place and an issue on the locks themselves is.. the 2 tiny security torx bolts come loose and the lock falls off then the case departs the bike. I used thread lock on mine and tightened them up.
thanks
Fantastic bike, my friend joins me on European trips and I often try it. Fast comfy very economical, but remember fuel gauges often measure level not volume, therefore the volume will be greater in the top of the tank because of shape.
Turns quickly also which surprised me. 👍
Thanks!
Man I'm so looking forward to all your future videos with this bike!
I have the 2015 model and just got back from a 13K mile loop of the US. It is such a fantastic machine! Hope you enjoy it!
thanks!
Congrats on the new bike! I’ve got a scorpion full exhaust on my ‘15 and it’s so much more fun getting to hear those 3 cylinders! Stay safe and enjoy!
thanks
Congrats on the new bike, looking back do you have a favourite one or one that has a special place in your heart? Cheers, Rob from Australia
all have different reasons why I liked it
I've got the MT09 SP fairly similar 🙂 I also love it ✌️
nice!
Congrats on the new bike, I’ve got a 2017 and absolutely love it. Enjoy.
Thanks, will do!
I just bought mine in June. Awesome choice. After the first oil change, the bike's dynamics are completely changed. It is now much more smooth and powerful. I'm so glad that I have the exact same bike as you. Love your videos. Stay safe and enjoy it.
Nice!
Wish we had a review of how you like the superduke before you traded it in. How many miles did u put on it before trading it
I think it was around 16k, don't remember
@@MotoJitsu Can you share a few key points why you traded Duke 1290 for Tracer GT? I was looking at MT09 (which is basically sporty Tracer) and then started to go towards Duke 790 and recently 1290GT. One of triggers to look 1290GT was your 1290R choice. So, without lengthy description - can you share few key points?
I did a test ride on all of them (MT09SP 2018, 790 2019, 1290GT 2020) so have some of my personal view. Just today 1290GT and ... I've started to think of MT09 again for few reasons. One of them - city (somewhat crowded) ride on 1290 in 26 degrees of C (79F) and after 20mins feels like my balls are boiled ;) Before I saw your new clip on YT :) Never tried Tracer900/900GT. But will think of it now.
@@m.b.5345 The Tracer 900 is not much less sporty than the MT-09. The Tracer 900 GT is still one of my favourite bikes (still don't own one though) because it's a sweet balance of sporty and comfy.
I bought a 2019 Triumph Tiger 800 XRT. While I don't care for the style, the bike absolutely pampers you. More comfort than my k1100lt and later k1200gt Beemer. Curious how in back to back riding the bikes would compare.
@@richardwanamaker9080 Hi Richard. Pampers?, is that good or bad?, sorry my English is rusty. I can get a Triumph Tiger 800 XRT for nearly the exact same price than the Yamaha Tracer 900 GT (or a Triumph Tiger 900 GT with a top case for that fact). Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, have fun and ride safe.
Which full exhaust do you have your eye on?
lol I'm not buying an exhaust
@@MotoJitsu full titanium akropovic
The bike already has an exhaust.
@@Adrenalean767 it's a joke cause he's always ragging on full exhaust and whatever else people wanna put on there bikes.
Grats from Belfast man! I have a 2016 MT09 with 30K miles on her and absolutely love her. Have had loads of sportsbikes over the years and usually by now would have traded in. Cant bring myself as its the most fun bike I've ever owned. Health to enjoy man, and totally love your channel. Some of the best advice I've ever had mate.
thanks!!
Just picked up a BMW F900r today! I love it! Congrats on your new bike MotoJitsu!!
Good choice!
Ever since my BMW 1200 GS, I've been experimenting with various bikes to see what bike best fulfills my goals...after the S1000R, the DRZ, and the SuperDuke...this is what I settled on. LOVE IT! southbay.delamomotorsports.com/inventory/New/
Sweet! You need to vlog a major adventure on that bad boy!! Pacific coast to Alaska!!
I thought about a Tracer to go with my S1k but got a used R1200RS. I like the lightweight of the Tracer, but I want to stay away from tall seating. I’m sure it’s a terrific bike
This... got to throw your leg over as many bikes as you can, to know what you dis/like... so few are one and done and don't get the full enjoyment.
I first discovered your videos about 6 months and was inspired to buy a bike. Haven’t had one for 21 years. I bought a 2019 tracer 900. Not a GT but an amazing bike for the price and It’s perfect for me. Looking forward to your opinion of the tracer. Congratulations on your new motorcycle.
@@bobobogan thanks...so far so good :)
Great choice my friend... in Turkey we say.. Maşallah 🧿
Thank you 😋
Congratulations on your new bike! I really don't think that you'll be disappointed. I extensively test rode the GT during two Yamaha demo days in the Phoenix area and was impressed with how nimble and balanced the bike really is. After conducting further research I finally pulled the trigger and purchased a GT earlier this year.
Thanks!
Great looking bike !! That’s my next one for sure. I’m glad you have filled us in on your new ride. Your tips have help a 58 year old new rider tremendously. Thanks for providing such excellent content.
You're very welcome :)
Congratulations brother!!.. my dream bike but I couldn't afford it 😊
Save up like we all do :)
@@MotoJitsu i will bro 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
😁😁
:)
Great choice! I just pulled the trigger on a Yamaha FJR. bought it in Las Vegas, first service the following day in Colorado. Then rode it home to Syracuse NY over the next two days. The Yamaha is super comfortable, spacious storage, and like you said, enough power without being too much. Love the Tracer and I'm anxious to see how you do with it!
Good choice!
I had a 2005 FJR up until about a month ago. 140k miles with basic maintenance only. Such a great bike. Super fast, comfortable, etc. enjoy!
Congrats on the new bike! Looks very nice and they are a super good value bike. Everyone I know who has one loves their Tracer 900.
thanks!! Yes, I love it....
@@MotoJitsu Very excited to hear in future videos your thoughts comparing this bike to your GS, the DRZ and the Duke! Realize they are all very different bikes, but you just went through what lots of people go through when trying to pick a bike for the first or second time.
Congratulations! Enjoy and safe travels!!! I just ordered your book 📖 enjoy all the videos, appreciate you
Thanks so much:)
great choice! congratulation man, have some fun with it and safe ride!
That's the plan!
Congratulations, Greg, the bike looks great, including the color, and it sounds like it really suits you and the kind of riding you wish to do--this should provide some great content for the channel, also. Lots of great things happening between the house, the bike, etc., and I am glad for you--you've worked hard and deserve it! Keep up the great work, and we look forward to learning about the new Yamaha (liked the way it sounded, by the way--I don't know much about this bike, so it will be fun to learn about it). Stay healthy and safe travels!
thanks!!
congratulations! these 2020 bikes are something else! I just bought a F900R I absolutely love it. I went from a Z125 to F900R imagine my excitement! stay safe and aware of surroundings always, bless up
Good choice!
Nice bike, congrats. I'm , pretty sure you will have a lot of fun with it. I bought my Kawasaki Z 650 today, feels fantastic and I'm so happy right now. Hope to see more videos about the 900 GT, wish you great day.
Thanks
Congrats fast Eddie! 👍🏼 welcome to Y! Riding and loving an MT10 since 3 yrs. greets from fast Drago from Switzerland 🇨🇭😁
Thanks! 👍
Congrats man! Enjoy! I have a MT09 SP 2020, love it to! Only think Im missing is the Cruise Controle...
Nice! The cruise was a must for me :)
Glad you like it. 2017 Yamaha Tracer 700 is the first "big" bike I bought and I will never sell it. Even if I decide to get something else, Tracer will always have a special place in my garage.
Right on!
Awesome machine!! Congrato!! The display looks like an F18...!!! You seem so happy that you remind me getting a new guitar or a sound processor...!!
Thanks :)
Good choice, love my '18 Tracer bought new a couple months ago. What an engine!
It sure is!
Congrats, and thanks to your videos I've learned a lot! Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Great bike with a great engine! It can cruise as well as bite. I got myself the MT-09 SP last year. Also my 10th bike in 7 years. LOL.
Congrats!
Very nice!
Hey. I just found your channel. I'm listening to a happy motorcycle owner who obviously really enjoys riding.
Congrats on your new bike , the twin and triple Yamaha 07-09 motors have great reviews I had an XSR900 loved it
Thanks! 👍
Nice! Congratulation! you deserve that awesome bike. Im picking up my new 2020 yamaha MT09 on Friday.
Have fun!
Great choice Greg! The FJR1300’s kid brother...I’m really pleased that Yamaha is keeping the Sport Touring segment alive and well. Enjoy!
:)
Congrats, Greg! Awesome bike! I had the chance to tested it before buying the V- Strom 650XT, and at that time I remembered one of your videos and your start with a sport bike. So I thought "This is too much bike for me". Glad I followed your advise. Still a lot to learn, but know I'd buy it for sure!
Thanks
Congratulations on your new bike! Very nice!
Thanks!
Good for you, bro! Looks like a fun and comfortable bike! Really enjoy your content! You'll have to make a post or video if you ever find yourself up around my way (near Zion National Park) to do some riding. I think it'd be awesome to meet up with ya! I can't go too far on my bike to meet up with you in Vegas or anything, since it's only a 250 Rally and I'd rather avoid long highway jaunts on it. But I've definitely learned a lot from your videos and as a newer rider, your instruction has been invaluable!
thanks :)
Well done Fast Eddie beautiful bike, can hear the happiness in your voice when your talking about your machine, you only live once spoil yourself, 👍keep up the good work bud.
Thanks 👍
Congrats on the new ride FE, looks like a fun bike to ride, love the cp3 🏍🏍🏍
Thanks! 👍
Welcome to the Tracer Family my Friend I was hoping to get some travelling in the UK like the NC500 this year but maybe next year instead.
:)
Hey man, congrats on the bike! I myself ride a 2020 fz09 and love the sound and performance of the triple. Few things I can say to you: the gas gage showing full for the first 60-70 miles is very ‘normal’, but then it goes down rapidly after that. Also, I can recommend B mode- less snatchy throttle but still full performance (it used to be less hp before, in the older models). I don’t think A mode is more ‘full power’ than the rest, it’s just super sensitive almost on/off throttle.
With a full system and a flash you get around 117 whp.
Enjoy it buddy! Thanks for all the amazing tips and videos.
Regards from Copenhagen
Thanks...A mode is tame for me considering the other bike's I've had lol
My is 2019 and has over 6000k miles. just came back from a trip to Yellowstone national park from Phoenix AZ, over 2300 miles ride in 9 days and I loved. Like my Tracer every day and I'm glad that I'm not the only one!!!!
Nice!!
Congrats man! Beautiful bike!
Thanks!
Congrats. I have a 2015 Yamaha VStar. Fantastic bike. Great ride. No problems. I really enjoy your videos and your video guides. Keep it up. Jeralo
Thanks! 👍
Excellent choice!Congrats and safe journeys!👍👍
Thank you! Will do!
Awesome!!! Glad to see you enjoy it so much. I love my 2016 all black FJ-09.
It's great
What a beauty ! Sounds like you're happy, enjoy it man !
Bike has nothing to do with my happiness but I know what you mean :)
Congrats FE. She looks practical as hell. Enjoy and stay safe!
thanks
Love those bikes! Might need to get one in the future for longer trips!
So much fun :)
If you're already subscribed to my new RUclips channel, thank you!! If not, here it is!! :) Many more cool conversations to come! ruclips.net/channel/UCVJeRk29mNO-YRuvOJ73klQ
Wow! Congrats man! Great choice! Love it, one of my favourite in Yamaha’s current model range, the only big minus in my market for this bike is insane insurance costs, guess you don’t have these issue, good luck and looking forward to hear more of your feelings about it!
I don't have insane insurance costs for it
MotoJitsu® glad for you, I am sure that this insurance issue is only on our market and I have even told about it to Yamaha dealership but don’t think that it will change. Basically they classify tracer and mt9 as the same bike despite the fact that these two are bought for different purposes and are ridden by different type of riders. Basically in Finland mt9 riders ride their naked bike to the posts/trees and commuting tracer riders shares the insurance costs, sad but true 😃
Nice review congrats on new bike I look forward to more
More to come!
Bro I love the Tracer 900 GT’s, I rode my dads around for a while and loved every mile of it. Be careful with A mode dude it’s insane lol, congrats man!
Lol compared to the bikes I've already had, this thing is very tame for me
Thank you for this informative video! I’m looking at one.
You're welcome. I don't have it anymore...my buddy just bought it last week :)
Wow, I've been watching mt09 videos all week. Just learned about the tracer an hour ago. It's like somebody read my mind - looks like a fantastic machine! What a joy to have "must put 600 miles on bike" on the to do list. Enjoy!
Thanks! :) Please Check out & Subscribe to my other RUclips channel!!! ruclips.net/channel/UCVJeRk29mNO-YRuvOJ73klQ?view_as=subscriber
Man, your voice is so nice to hear... Great naration and video also. Subscribed. And yes, I think I finally found the ONE bike for me "BMW S1000XR" which I ordered after trying recently. It would have been Tracer long time ago but I felt like 3 cylinder isn't what I really want (comparing with my beloved Fazer from the past). I hope Yamaha remakes Fazer though. Ride safe, enjoy. 👍
Thanks
Awesome Greg! The mirrors look just like my 2018 Super Tenere. Probably the best stock mirrors Ive ever seen on a bike. Enjoy and ride safe.
They are!
Thanks for all of the videos. They are very helpful. Question about the bike. Do you know if a larger windscreen is available? And a top case?
Yes and yes both from Yamaha and I put both on.
Nice video, congrats on the new bike. How does it compare to you to your previous GS Adventure?
Nice the piece! Enjoy it. Best regards from Slovakia
Thanks
Congrats Eddie, enjoy your first three cylinder bike! (Very different but also similar to your earlier GS 1200: both powerful touring bikes). You plan making longer trips, so I'll keep waiting for the videos of this new season!
I had a Speed Triple :)
@@MotoJitsu You're right! It was my mistake!
@@MotoJitsu now that's it been a while since this video came out. How would you recommend the tracer compared to a speed triple or your current 1250 gs?
That triple engine is a peach! I've got the xsr900 which is a great bike but want to do more touring so the GT is the one I'm hoping to get next. I'll be watching your next episodes with interest. Good luck 👍
thanks
Very nice bike enjoy!
Can't wait to see you doing motojitsu on it!
You and me both!
Garage looks like it’s coming along great. 🍻🤙
Thanks 👍
woohooo, welcome to the blue team eddie. i also got my 2020 black mt09 just recently, my 4th bike in 10 years.. i watch your videos religiously. ty.
thanks!
Congrats on the new bike! I loved that dash look on my R1 but it would be tough to get rid of the Super Duke. 🤙🏼🐢🦴
thanks :)
I recently purchased an old school 2005 Yamaha FZ1 gen1 which looks like it is the predecessors to the the Tracer. I got back into riding after an accident, a 20 year pause and living in the north. I love FZ1 for the same reasons. It looks like the Tracer and FZ1 are similar; sport bike handling but in a comfortable upright riding position. One might say the FZ1 has too much power but your videos have taught me how to be a much better and safer rider. Thank you! I didn't buy the FZ1 for the power, I have no desire to do a wheelie, I bought it for the riding dynamics. My bike has a top case and bags as well. Congratulations on the new bike and thank you for these videos! Since my bike is similar, can't wait to see you do the black belt test or some track days with it :-)
:) will do!
Congrats! I bought XSR700 Xtribute last month! This engines are amazing! Greetings from Poland!
Glad you like them!
Congrats Fast Eddie on your new steed! And great job on the new camera angles.
Thanks 👍
Congrats on your new bike ! Please keep up the good work & videos. Learned a lot of it since i started driving 2 months ago.
HAHA my first bike is a Honda CB650R Neo Sports Cafe. I call her "The Lady in Red" ;)
Greetings from Norway.
Thanks! :)
I bought the predecessor of this bike in 2015, the FJ-09. Still like the balance, smooth usable power and handling on the twisties. After 5 years it still puts a smile on my face everytime I ride! Unfortunately didn't have the option for factory heated grips and cruise control at the time.
Nice!
I sold a Tuono 1100 and got a MT09 for pretty much the same reasons. Fitted it out with full Givi luggage etc. Very happy with it. Got it flashed and got better fuel economy along with more power. I coach Advanced riding and its pretty much the perfect platform for it. Dave Moss was here in New Zealand and he was developing a Nitron shock for it along sorting the forks on his Tracer GT. He could be worth an ask on suspension set up.
Very nice!
Congrats on your new ride!
Thanks!
Congrats on the new bike and a great review! I'm looking at this bike to replace my Honda ST1300. I love my ST except it is so heavy. The Tracer 900gt is about 150bs lighter and has features my ST doesn't. Looking forward to test riding one soon!
Thanks!
Congratulations! Beautiful bike enjoy
Thank you!
