Yamaha Tracer 900GT

The versatile Tracer 900 Sport Touring motorcycle was introduced by Yamaha, and it is set to replace the company’s existing FJ-09 model for 2019. Featuring a number of updates and refinements, the new Tracer 900 will continue to offer performance, versatility and value.

Adding to the line-up, Yamaha also unveiled a premium-packaged Tracer 900 GT, which includes color-matched hard side cases, a quick shift system (QSS), cruise control and more.

While European-spec Yamaha motorcycles have used the “Tracer” model name since the introduction of the Tracer 900 in 2015, the replacement of the “FJ” name with “Tracer” for US-spec models is part of Yamaha’s ongoing initiative to unite the global community of Tracer riders who share the “Roads of Life.”

Making tomorrow’s memories on the roads of life.

Whether riding solo for the commute to work, or spending weeks crossing the continent with a passenger and luggage, Yamaha’s Sport Touring motorcycles provide a world of opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime. Combining outstanding sport performance, all round versatility and serious long distance ability, Yamaha’s Sport Touring lineup is designed to appeal to a wide range of riders who are looking to enjoy the many new experiences, places and people that they’ll discover when travelling the Roads of Life.

2019 Tracer 900 and Tracer 900 GT

Launched three years ago, the FJ-09 quickly became established as the definitive Sport Tourer in the fast growing sub-1000cc class. With its thrilling sports performance, agile handling and the ability to handle long distances with ease, the new Tracer 900 will continue to be a pillar of Yamaha’s Sport Touring lineup.

The Tracer 900 motorcycle is one of those rare models that has the ability to excel in almost any role, from long distance touring to sport riding and day-to-day commuting. Powered by Yamaha’s much loved 847cc crossplane concept 3-cylinder engine with strong linear torque, the Tracer 900 is extremely enjoyable to ride, and its versatility represents the true spirit of motorcycling.

2019 Tracer 900 GT

Joining Yamaha’s Sport Touring range for 2019 is the Tracer 900 GT, a new model that comes with a premium specification as standard. Developed from the Tracer 900 and sharing the same specification upgrades, the Tracer 900 GT is designed to offer sport touring riders the ultimate package at a competitive price.

Color-matched hard side cases fitted as standard equipment

The Tracer 900 GT comes fitted with quickly-detachable 22-litre color matched Genuine Yamaha hard side cases as standard equipment, allowing for added convenience right from the showroom floor.

Full color TFT instrument panel

Tracer 900 GT riders get a unique view from the cockpit, with the latest TFT (Thin Film Transistor) instrument panel. Featuring a full color display, this high specification instrument panel comes with a comprehensive range of information, including gear position indication, ambient temperature, coolant temperature, current riding mode, fuel level status and fuel consumption averages.

Premium suspension

The Tracer 900 GT is equipped with a premium suspension package that features fully adjustable front forks offering the rider the ability to set their bike up to suit different loads and conditions. These fully adjustable forks come with a beautiful gold finish.

For easy and convenient suspension set up when carrying a passenger or luggage, the Tracer 900 GT features a remote preload adjuster for the rear shock. It’s the quick and effective way to set the bike up.

Quick Shift System (QSS)

The Tracer 900 GT’s Quick Shift System transforms acceleration performance of the bike by allowing the rider to make seamless clutchless upshifts. Based on the system used on the latest MT-09, the QSS gives this premium Sport Tourer an even more exciting character that’s sure to be appreciated by performance minded riders.

Cruise Control

The Tracer 900 GT also benefits from the fitment of a cruise control system as standard equipment. It’s the same system that’s used on the MT-10, and can be set to control the riding speed in 4^th, 5^th and 6^th gear when riding above 31 mph. This system is operated by a switch on the left handlebar cluster, and can be used to increase or decrease cruising speed in 1.5 mph increments.

Advantages include reduced right arm and hand fatigue on long journeys, and also being able to maintain a constant speed when riding on hilly or uneven roads.

The system is automatically cancelled by the application of brakes, clutch or throttle, and features a resume button that allows the rider to reset to the previous setting. Cruise Control makes longer journeys more enjoyable, and it can help to avoid exceeding speed limits.

Heated grips

The Tracer 900 GT is an all-weather, all-season motorcycle that’s built to get across continents, and the provision of heated grips is a real bonus for the serious Sport Touring rider.
