T
he Tracer 9 GT+ is the latest of the somewhat
confusing FJ, MT-09, Tracer 900 and Tracer 9,
Tracer 9 GT sport touring name game from
Yamaha. The 2024 Tracer 9 GT+ replaces the
Tracer 9 GT, which received a significant overhaul
in 2022 and then emerged as one of the category's
top motorcycles. For many, the Tracer 9 GT was
the sport-touring motorcycle by which all others
were judged. It got there thanks to a perky mo-
tor, comfy suspension and ergos, solid handling,
handsome looks and loads of electronics. Indeed,
it's hard to argue that it was not one of the best
long-distance, sport-performing motorcycles on
the road, especially when you figure in its under-
$15,000 price. That is still a lot of money, but it's a
bargain compared to most of the GT's competitors
with similar, or even less, technology.
The 2024 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT just got
a lot smarter with the new GT+
