I’ve had my Tracer 9-GT for 22 months now, and clocked up 11,500 miles on her.. It’s a fabulous machine for covering big distances, and indeed for carving up twisty roads! The new 890cc engine is an absolute masterpiece, it just makes power everywhere in the Rev-Range, and makes an incredible sound to boot, it’s highly addictive!! I too have it in Tech Kamo, which in my opinion is the best colour, it’s much harder wearing and durable than your high gloss paint schemes, and doesn’t show up those fine scratches like those bikes do… 👍🏻
I agree with you about the dash. When I ride I watch the road and scenery not the dash. I have the 2021 T9GT and it suits my quite well. I started riding in 1967 so this bike is so good compared to most earlier machines. The stock seat isn't uncomfortable as many complained. I am used to spending many hours on racing bicycle seats so this stock seat feels great. Overall, the Tracer 9 is a good value for an all purpose bike.
Agree 🙏 I am also riding triathlon bikes :) The seats there are different level of “uncomfortable” :) I bought comfort seat. We will see how big the difference is. But I believe it also depends on the pants materials and if there any padding.
I have also the Tracer 9 base model and it just offers a lot. There is no need for the electronic suspension if you are not a real sports rider. I rode also the GT model and film it. Now I got the comfort seats and will do a video about it. Overall a great bike for the money.

Another great video Sergey, I own the Tracer 9GT version and have to say i use it most of the time in modes 2 on all the settings, as i forget changing it, only change it to mode 4 when raining ( the rain mode ), I do like the KYB suspension as it does the job for me and never have to adjust it, unless i have a passenger , rest of the options are personal preferences, i love the split dash , as i use my phone all the time for navigation, music etc. Keep the great work coming. 👍
I'll be getting my GT+ in May or June and I'm looking very much forward to it. Decision to go for GT+ instead of GT version came as a mix from not being happy with the double eyed display and wanting to have the modified ACC along with the other goodies the GT+ has built in.
Tracer 9 with additional "necessary" options seems like the best value. For me all the tech for braking and cruising, seems to defeat the point of being intimate in the environment and in the moment when you are riding. I guess you can argue more safety is always good, but when you get to minutia of safety concerns and comfort, then you probably need to get a car. ;-)
Ι have the 2023 tracer 9 in total black! 🖤 I added the qs and it rock's...cant wait to reach the 1600 km and listen to that 3 cylinder dream screaming 🔥💯
It is hard to beat the Tracer 9 in terms of its features and price. If you don't need the electronic suspension and if you don't need the quick-shifter... then the Tracer 9 base model will fit you well. I have it and already filmed some videos. Can check them. Got my like bro. I mostly agree about the Tracer 9 base model. p.s. Not so long ago I got the comfort seats. :)
I have also a Tracer 9 not the GT. I like the dash, alot of people complain about it for me its just a bit fency and while riding you arent noticing it. In my opinion the stock seat is verry comfortable i have riden multiple timed 600 km day trips without a Problem. I wish you all best keep up good work. Drop by greetings Cole
I just bought the GT 9 and I love it . I think I got a good deal to . But who knows lol tracer 9 is kool and the tracer GT 9 + is way to much for what I think you get I would never use it lol
i had the GT+ on order, however when the price came out at £15000 i decided to get a 2022 model Gt instead, nearly 5k less i paid and didnt think it was worth the Extra money for the tft and upgraded cruise control
Hello Sergey I really liked your video. In particular, how you presented the various versions of Tracer. I fully agree with you in your assessment of the individual versions. I am planning to buy Tracer 9. I have a question for you about driving the Tracer with a top case. Please tell me whether the motorcycle is stable at higher speeds? Would you still recommend this model considering the kilometers traveled?
Hello Tomasz, no problems with Top Case for me. But I don’t ride faster than 150 km/h. Beyond highways, my average speed is 70-120 when travelling. So, in that range, the bike is stable. I know that the previous generation did have a problem with stability. That’s why the top case wasn’t offered as an accessory when using panniers. The overall experience - the bike is extremely reliable. After 1.5 years - zero issues. I know some GT bikes did have electronic recall, but I didn’t have any of those, at least up to this point. Just to give you an idea, both triumphs I ride had warranty situations. All bikes have more or less similar mileage travelled.
Thank you for such a quick answer, I am more and more convinced about Tracer 9. I am also considering Versys 1000, but compared to Tracer it is apparently less lively. Thank you again and best regards.
I might look biased towards Tracer, but I am not. In my opinion, whichever bike you choose in this segment (Tiger 900/Versys 1000/ F900XR/NT1100/Multistrada) it will be better in some particular areas. Still, as an overall package for road-focused use and maintenance experience, Tracer is unbeatable. Whichever bike you take 9/GT/GT+ you’ll not miss anything. But test ride one before you buy it if you can. Take care and happy new year.
Nice Video Sergey, I also own Tracer 9 and I love it. I noticed that you have SW Motech crash guard. I'm considering to buy one as well. Is it possible to remove side plastic panels without removing crash bars? Thanks
You know this is the 4th time im watching your video. I'll take the GT instead because firstly im short at 160cm and probably my legs cant handle the additional weight. Secondly, the radar is not applicable as looking at the massive traffic jam and cars cutting into lanes without signalling. I'll slam into them if i rely on the radar. Just my opinion. Getting the GT this weekend. Thank you for the detailed video. I came to a conclusion after 2 months of hard thinking.
Who's the best and worth more to buy ? tracer 9 gt or the New tmax 560 2022 ? Please help me ! iam 21 and im always confused wich one of those 2 bike i need to buy ???
@@hamzaathetiger9133 For a first bike, get yourself something small. Don't get impressed by big engines, chances are that a young rider would crush with a big bike. Smaller bikes do a great job. Look for something that weights less than 200 kg and is not too high, so you can have both feet on the ground. I'm 56 years old. My first bike was a Honda XLR 250. Great choice. Then I got a Yamaha Diversion 400, a Honda Transalp 650 and now I'm going for something bigger (haven't decided yet).
@@SergeyVikultsev we have a roomer of it coming in the winter. But we waited 4 years for the tenere so for now, I’ll say no. And I say “no” as someone who works in a Yamaha dealer in Tokyo.
As one riding all versions since 2015 , now GT Plus 2023, I hugely disagree with you. Quick Shifter is a" Game Changer" in any aspect and has nothing to compare with Automatic riding totally opposite. Automatic Motorcycle takes all the control from rider, Quick Shifter add tons of control to rider. Imagine riding 160 km/h 100 meters before traffic lights and suddenly it change to red, only due to Quick Shifter you are able to stop without any drama the same goes when you reach a corner too fast easily you use the quick shifter and again no problem at all. Acceleration in Automatic Motorcycle reduce performance, Quick Shifter enhanced acceleration performance. Active safety is enhanced due to Quick Shifter the clutch sras angaged there is no short periods like using Clutch. So nothing can be compare and money is no issue to Quick Shifter.
Just ordered my Tracer 9 and I am very excited to enter the sport touring segment! Could you please share your additional equipment setup on your Tracer 9 and approximate prices?

Bro that was the best video comparing the 3 versions. I'm 100% sure the basic model is the best choice for me. thx for your time making this vid!
Thank you :) You'll enjoy the bike ;)
I rode the Tracer 9 GT the other day. It had 4 rider modes, numbered 1-4, where 4 was rain mode.
I’ve had my Tracer 9-GT for 22 months now, and clocked up 11,500 miles on her.. It’s a fabulous machine for covering big distances, and indeed for carving up twisty roads!
The new 890cc engine is an absolute masterpiece, it just makes power everywhere in the Rev-Range, and makes an incredible sound to boot, it’s highly addictive!!

Great! Exactly my feelings about this bike! 🤝
Hi. Thank you for your hard work. You’ve answered all the questions I had about this bike. Great job!

Hey, You have done a great job.
You put a lot of effort into preparing the video.
The templates are fantastic.
Thank you very much. Appreciate that! 🙏

I bought comfort seat. We will see how big the difference is. But I believe it also depends on the pants materials and if there any padding.

Bonjour de France, merci pour cette excellente vidéo. J'ai commandé une Tracer 9 GT+, Dark
Grey.
Yamaha France ne connait pas encore la date de livraison, mai ou juin 2023... Je suis vraiment impatient de recevoir la moto.
J'adore les équipements électroniques quand ils ont un intérêt. Le freinage couplé pour la sécurité, le Radar avec le régulateur adaptatif, le Quick Shifter nouvelle génération, celui de la GT est déjà superbe, la génération suivante devrait être vraiment excellente.
J'ai ajouté les options suivantes : Phares additionnels Yamaha antibrouillard, la selle passager confort, les clignotants led plus avant, les clignotants led plus arrière, le grand pare-brise, le top case 45 litre avec la décoration de la couleur de la moto, les protections de réservoir sur le côté.
Pour la pression des pneus, j'ai opté pour un appareil acheté sur Internet avec des capteurs de pression qui seront mis à l'intérieur des jantes. L'appareil de Yamaha m'a paru trop cher, plus de 180 €.
C'est pourquoi Yamaha m'a fait une bonne remise sur les options.

Hi Alin. Thanks for sharing. I am sure KYB does the job. Great to see progress on your channel as well ;)

I think for the seat it also depends on personal physical features. Some people are good, and some feel uncomfortable.
