Now in its fourth generation since the FJ-09 debuted for 2015, the 2024 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ sport-tourer has been updated with an eye toward refinement and sophistication.
The ‘+’ added to the model name this year brings with it a host of upgrades: a new millimeter-wave radar that continuously measures distance to vehicles ahead and enables adaptive cruise control and a world-first radar-linked Unified Brake System, integrated ride modes, the next generation of the KYB Actimatic Damper System (KADS) electronic suspension, an updated quickshifter, a new 7-inch TFT display with simplified menus, new switchgear, and integration with the Yamaha MyLink and Garmin Motorize smartphone apps.
Rider’s Editor-in-Chief Greg Drevenstedt logged 1,400 miles for our road test and he had this to say: The Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ gets a big gold star for being a fantastic, well-rounded, well-sorted sport-tourer. Although its $16,499 MSRP is $1,500 above that of the previous model, the GT+ offers a level of technological sophistication that isn’t available on another motorcycle priced less than $25,000.

Hello from Holland I prefer more the brand New KTM 890 SMT 2023 more Torquy engine 100Nm and full menu of traction control and Cruise Control full customable!
This company’s supposed flagship is now outdated and new buyers are looking for a new rival.
The flagship sinks slowly over time.
I Totally agreed.
and the revised Triumph Tiger 900 of 2024 is 106 HP and 90Nm of Torque
Please put emission standards in your bike reviews
Thanks John
Proven to be the most boring and saturated motorcycle in almost a decade where in the last 3 years it has increased its cylinder capacity by 47cc.
With only 1 year warranty only, It doesn’t move me because I don’t even look at it and turn my back on it.
