RIDE REVIEW I 2022 YAMAHA TRACER 9 GT P86 A1 is very stiff and only really needed if you're hammering re- ally quickly on smooth roads. For the afternoon I had the Tracer, I spent the majority of the time in A2 with the throttle, traction, wheelie and slide control all in level one (I have no idea why you'd need slide control on this bike, but there you go). The modes are accessed via a funky looking split screen, twin 3.5-inch TFT dash, one that looks a bit like a robot face if you stare at it long enough. With speed on the left and all trip and ride info on the right, you've got plenty of space to read every- (Left) It's a clean look on the new GT, if a little angry. (Right) Screen height is a little low at the highest setting for Rennie's 6'1" frame but nowhere near as bad as the BMW S 1000 XR.
