I test ride the 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT and after talking some specs I give my two cents on its looks, build quality, ergos, acceleration, braking, suspension, comfort and flickability and what the pièce de résistance of this bike is. Spoiler alert: it's the engine.

I just purchased the 2020 and absolutely love riding it. I wasn't crazy about the looks at first but they are growing on me.

You're the first reviewer to mention engine temperature. I was wondering about seat heat but hearing that even your legs remained cool was good to hear. Great review!

I just went on a demo ride today from Yamaha. The 2019 Tracer 900GT was in front of me. What a great looking sport tourer! Looks amazing with the side pinions on. Matches the bike beautifully. The one that was at the demo ride today had the Yoshimura Tracer 900 pipe and it sounded nothing like stock!! It was a pure beast of a sound! If anyone is purchasing this bike, highly recommend adding the Yoshimura to its demenor. You will deffinatley be turning heads with the sound! Amazing bike!

Great run down, your chortles of glee rolling on the throttle hard sums it up!

Boas, não sei se sou o único mas apesar de eu perceber perfeitamente inglês, adoraria ver os teus vídeos em português, talvez algo como o Cager ou assim, ótima qualidade de vídeo, narração, etc, era só uma ideia, ótimos vídeos colega de estrada!

Nice video 💯✔

Nice video! One doubt: does the bike lift the rear (RL) when you break abruptly? or it breaks fine?

Video quality is unreal, mate... Are you using a GoPro?

Thanks for this well-explained review 👍🏼, I now drive a Ducati ST3s with a Bigebore engine 1079cc and 120hp with 135Nm measured on the rear wheel (stock 992cc and 102hp with 92Nm crankshaft measured). I am considering switching to the Tracer 900GT because I think that Ducati today only has that ugly Multistrada as an alternative and that is not an option for me. My question to you is, do you know if it is possible to give this Tracer 900 more power with a software update and of course remains reliable. Thanks in advance, Wil.

I thought rebound is on the right and compression on the left.
