Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Tracer 900 GT 2020

The Tracer 900 GT is the perfect bike for those who find the naked MT-09 too spartan for sporty country road riding. Thanks to the longer swingarm and better aerodynamics, the high-speed problems that the predecessor had to contend with have now been largely eliminated. The premium version in the form of the Tracer 900 GT goes one better and can also convince with great comfort features.

top chassis

fun to ride

good stability

successful revision of aerodynamics

comfort gain for pillion passenger

cruise control

heated grips

TFT colour display

Very low payload

pillion footrest system restricts freedom of movement
