I have the tracer 9gt and have the' face 'dash and I had issues but I look past it now and find it plentiful with the information.

Looks a nice bike, if they put that tft on all their Tracer 9s, id probably be riding one now. I couldn't put up with the micky mouse dash on the standard GT

just ordered mine - get it in two weeks, thankyou for a great review

Thanks for the review, the bike induction and exhaust sounds great!

Fantastic review. I would be interested in seeing this compared to the Ducati V2S and to hear your thoughts.

Nice bike

Looks a real surprise packet. And a great price too.

I love my Tracer 9 GT, wish mine had this dash though, however thats a personal preference, my two main downsides on mine are the fuel gauge being 1 bar from full to half, then 3 to empty, cause you don't really know how much fuel you have if going for a longer ride out. The other is no right angle valves on the tyres but thats an easy fix. Everything else, bar the weird face looking dash that I have gotten used to, has been an absolute joy!

@Gofr5

I was concerned with the odd fuel gauge, but one of the options you can select on the dash is fuel consumed, yes? Wouldn't that suffice as a more accurate fuel gauge since you know it has an 18L tank and can thus track fuel better with that?

My next bike !

Great video as ussual

Hi Dan I follow you - whatever happened to your triumph tiger 850 sport - I remember you having it and then it disappeared and unless I missed something, it’s like it never happened- keep the good work up regards

Nice video Dan, test rode the hornet yesterday at crescent Honda Southampton they had a tracer ( not demo ) which I did have a look at, I’m leaning towards the mt07 , ktm duke 790 , possibly the z900 what do you think, the hornet was nice but didn’t blow me away, I’m coming from a adv 350 👍

Get the ACC version if you are prone to long motorways, you won't regret it.

Which brand chin mount for your camera you bought?

Tracer 9gt Plus Prime Max is seemingly a great bike. I just home it comes to Japan by the end of the year. We waited over 4years for the tenere, and the tracer 7 and world-rid won't come to japan at all...

Hey Dan! Superb video as always! What puts me off is Garmin's subscription for the SATNAV. Most bikes now come with Android Auto, so, that's a bit of a dissapointment from YAMAHA. Sooner or later Android Auto will rule all. Looking forward to an indepth review when you get the chance! ❤

Why only Honda makes DCT? Is it really difficult for other companies to make their own?

@rustworks2588

Жыл бұрын

Maybe Honda manged to get hold of all of the tech patents and are not allowing them to license them. At least until Honda creates enough of a headstart. DCT's first iteration was introduced back in 2012 if I'm not mistaken, but it wasn't widely adopted across their range. Only the VFR1200 and its cross tourer variant had it. I hope to see more DCT-like options from other brands hopefully soon

Not sure, but you can fit a full face lid in each.

This new Tracer 9 GT+ is so expensive in Canada. It costs almost as much as a KTM 1290 Super Adventure S. I have no idea why the Tracer is so expensive here. The GT was already borderline ridiculous in price, the GT+? Forget it. At that price, may as well just get the bigger bike for just an extra $1000. Heck, with the clearance end of season deals going on right now, you can actually get a 1290 Super Adventure S CHEAPER than what a Tracer 9 GT+ will cost next year. Keep hearing everywhere how great of a value for price the Tracer is, but not here in Canada. =(

Tbh i cant see why it needs all theses configurations and rider modes, on a bike with 117 horses ( claimed ) i would of prefered them to re tune that engine closer to 150plus PSI, or even better bring out the bike all tracer fans want MT10 tracer 😊
