Testing the Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+: a new generation with improved chassis and electronics
Previous experience with the Yamaha Tracer 9 GT model has shown that if this machine is the right size for you, it will guarantee you an incredible experience in corners. Since then, + has been added to her name.
So I wonder what that means. Because + can hide a lot of meanings. More horses? Equipment? Ability? There are many possibilities. However, in the corners, you can already hear the sound of the three-cylinder engine revving normally. Here's the fun!
With the new Tracer, you will enjoy it to the fullest. Not only do you have more adjustment options for the modified electronic chassis. Although he will show you what it means when he can adapt quickly to the conditions in the corners, especially on not the best surfaces.
With the modified seats, you can travel more kilometers without crashing, and the sight of the dashboard will no longer frighten you. In the GT+ version, you no longer see the gloomy eyes of the Optima Prima, but a well-handled, clear, and informative 7-inch digital screen.
They just don't write anything about the temperature. So you have to feel it for yourself, otherwise it will appear as foggy plexiglass. When the cold comes, you can use the heating handle to ward off the cold. Or you can put on one more layer and pack it into a standard side case for safety. You can also place the helmet on the left side. If that doesn't work for you, ask the seller. Trust me, I know what I'm writing.
The Tracer 9 GT+ is equipped with very interesting technological innovations. The most important advantage is adaptive cruise control. Not many motorcycles have it yet, and I must say Yamaha has tackled its pitfalls in an exemplary manner. In addition to the very responsive braking when catching up with slower vehicles (also due to the newly connected brakes), you can expect beautiful reactions when accelerating back to the set speed.
You can set them up - whether it's slow, brisk, or as fast as you can. Combined with a beautifully functional quick shifter, you're entering a whole new realm of driving experience. If until now, the Tracer had been able to sweep corners and make you smile while wearing a helmet, now it has added a lot of features that will keep you happy, especially on highways and long journeys.
For example, fuel consumption is less than 5 l/100 km. When you need to navigate, Yamaha will display the Garmin app on full screen, and it will listen for instructions entered using the new ergonomically tuned controls on the handlebars.
Plus, there are some interesting and technologically advanced elements added to the name of the Yamaha Tracer 9 GT. Is it possible to drive without them? Of course he could. But it's only when you understand their feelings that you understand how hard it is to say goodbye to them.
