2019 YAMAHA TRACER 900 GT
FIRST IMPRESSION
P88
Both the GT and the base
Tracer get a 60mm longer swing-
arm that increases wheelbase
from 56.6 inches to 59.1 inches;
the seat height gets a 5mm
height increase in both the low
and high positions to be either
33.5 inches or 34.1 inches.
Overall length remains the same
at 85.04 inches.
The GT gets a fully adjustable
KYB fork and a shock that has
remote preload and rebound
adjustability; you get a quick-
shifter for upshifts as standard,
22L side cases, cruise control,
heated grips, a redesigned rider
and passenger seat and foot-
pegs, a larger windscreen that's
50mm adjustable with one hand
and a TFT dash that has more
than a few styling cues to the
Yamaha YZF-R1's unit.
We didn't get the chance to
sample the base Tracer at this
model introduction, instead
focusing purely on the GT. Two
(Above) Just 15mm of extra padding has made
a big difference to the comfort afforded to the
Tracer rider. (Right) Factory-fitted side cases hold
22L of storage. Note the rear preload
adjustment knob under the rider seat.
