2021 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT

[paulcb]

Yamaha just announced the new 2021 Tracer 9 GT. Looks like it's almost a whole new bike compared to the 900 GT, but $2k more. I've certainly got my eye on this.

Yeah.. not sure about the styling... takes some getting used to .. definitely a redesign in several areas. The tank goes from 4.8 to 5 gallons and they state 44mpg to 49mpg efficiency... can't figure out the headlights... maybe it's got cornering lights. Upgraded elec suspension is nice.

The more I read the details the more I like it... still not sure about the looks but if I didn't already have the prev version, I'd look strongly at this.

fjr replacement?...i like it but there's alot of open space around the bags, can't be very aerodynamic......, not liking the split screen, who's designing these screens?....is the right side bag connected to brake assembly?

 

[paulcb]

I like it a lot on paper, not sure about the dash and the panniers though. I see that it's almost 2" lower too. Looking forward to the upcoming ride reviews. It does have cornering lights... the cornering lights help improve rider's confidence at night as the light strength grows as the lean angle increases. Will be interesting to see how those work IRL.

Wow cool! Cruise Control is something nice to see. Wish one of the screens was built in nav.
I appreciate that others (non Honda) are continuing to made new offerings in this segment. I love my ST but do pine for additional tech like this bike has. It sure is FUN to dream about the next bike...

Shaved the beak and added a target fixation err cross hatch targeting scanner on the dash for the optional rockets. What's not to love?

Yeah, that dash looks like it's from a 80s sci-fi movie, maybe even 60's Star Trek... what's old is new again.

You use your left eye for the one on the left side and visa versa.. duh!

But hardly "the most luxurious sport touring motorcycle" as they claim.

If only the rear drives on those things weren't so iffy/scary repair wise.... I'd have an 1200/1250RT or an old K1200GT in a heartbeat. The K1300GT might take a few more beats.

Or the police version... https://www.rallyemotoplex.ca/default.asp?page=xInventoryDetail&id=9580124&format=print

Only $22,050.00 Cdn (plus tax, PDI, etc..) - so about $26G Cdn,

the Yamaha web site show a FJR ES for 2021, no standard model.

 

[heffly]

Tracer will probably be my next bike after the ST. My old man bike, unless someone comes out with a 800cc shaft drive...lol. Thats not a Beemer.....

 

[sirepair]

The dash is kinda retro; remember the days of a speedo and tach? (Damn, I'm old!) The styling hasn't changed that much. I think it looks more like the Versys 1000. I like the larger panniers, too! My 2015 is an outstanding motorcycle and to see Yamaha continue to tweak its offerings is good news! Doubt that I would pop for the updated version though.
