Yamaha Tracer 9 2021

Absolutely recommended for riders who like sporty riding but also don't want to forego the advantages of a touring vehicle. Whether GT or standard version is a question of taste: if you like to accelerate, mainly ride on good roads and are comfortable with a firm chassis, the standard Tracer 9 will serve you very well. Those who would like to have a bit of comfort on top and also ride longer tours from time to time will appreciate the comfort and additional equipment of the GT.
