Chase, you need to do a long haul journey, like 300-500miles! Take someone with you, with two bikes; the tracer and a sportier bike, compare the comfort, practicality etc. Make it a weekend ride. You could include carrying camping equipment and going off-road to find your camping spot in the mountains.

Depends on what journey you are going for, if you take a pillion Tracer 9 GT will always be 10 times better, but if you go alone MT-09 will be better i think

Dude, I have that SP, and I have the SW Motech semi hard side cases, a Puig touring windscreen, Yamaha Heated Grips, Handguards, and Radiator Guard. I have a Yoshimura AT2 exhaust on pre-order. I would never trade my SP for a Tracer 9!

Hi from Australia. I sold my 2017 MT09 Tracer and bought a Tracer 9GT in June 2021. Night a day difference from the old model. It eats up the miles and twisty roads, and is the complete package for me.

Watching these videos helped me make my choice for my next bike, Tracer 9gt. Thanks Chase

Super happy to finally get some in depth coverage of tracer!

I bought a brand new FJ09 in 2015 and still love it. Put a full Akropovic exhaust & power commander on it & called it a day.

Rode three years on the father (FJ-09) and enjoyed every minute with this CP3 motorization! This Tracer, as an evolution, should be an even better horse. Now riding an XT-1200 es, as I wanted to get dirtier. I’ve got plenty and ready for so much more! Yamaha delivers.

I bought my 2016 FJ-09 because of your first ride video (among other things). I have never ridden an FZ09. My only complaint about the Tracer is that is limited to 115mph and since everyone I used to ride with had rockets, I was always 5min late. Having that said, I LOVED IT! It is the perfect combination of excitement and comfort!

OC. Might be interesting to see an exhaust and ECU tune. I love my 2021 mt 09. Not sure I would trade for the tracer, but still interested in you hitting your mountain twisties with it.

OC: I’ve been eyeing this thing for a year and I can’t shake the idea that the Tracer 9 could be the ultimate finisher bike. Pop those bags off and hit some twisties. Leave them on and go grocery shopping all week long. i gotta know, could this be the absolute do-it-all bike without going full adv?

I am so stoked right now. I had a 2020 MT 09 last year and had the '21 SP on order. It had delay after delay, finally after 6 months dealer told me it wasn't showing up,(June of last year) I couldn't wait anymore and traded the MT for a BMW F900R.. don't get me wrong it's a nice bike, but that engine was lacking compared to the sweetness of the CP3. Last night I found a 2022 SP 2 hours from my home for MSRP., deposit made, Bye bye BMW, going to pick up that beautiful 2022 SP tomorrow morning!

I agree. Tested the tracer gt, F900 and 09SP and one dealer had one SP in stock and went immediately. And I also own an 2019 S1000RR, so I really like same details of the bmw. But the engine and lightweight of the SP is very much alike the S1000RR but for city riding and having fun at the same time

OC: hell nah. I want fun and wheelies, not practicality. I’ve had two sport touring bikes and don’t want to go back anytime soon.

Saddle sore 1k, to a camp ground. Find some gravel road to a hidden lake for some fishing. I'm trying to decide between a versys 1k and a tracer 9, and those are the things I want to do with it.

I just purchased a tracer 9. I'm not as young as I used to be I used to have a GSXR 1000 yes a great bike but too many cramps. I plan on doing cross country journeys with this tracer the upright seating position the heated grips and the built-in up shifter made my decision easy to buy this bike. Oh I forgot the cruise control. Very nimble bike. I love it plan on keeping it for a long time.

I have the exact same bike , i had the engine bars , spotlights and belly pan fitted to mine , i have also got the heated comfort seat as i live in the UK and it is not very warm most of the time , my only issue was the screen so i have bought the MRA Vario screen (smoked not clear) and it has made a difference, i love this bike it is comfortable and has more than enough power for the road , i have also just had a recall letter off Yamaha regarding a possible issue with the throttle grip tube which may cause the throttle grip to catch when operated , your bike may have the same issue, i have booked mine in to the dealer with no problem , other than this i cant find fault , great value for money bike and a great mile muncher , enjoy .

OC: I have been in the mood to side step from a Monster 1200s to a Multistrada 1200s. I want the extra leg room and windscreen and my gal wants a bigger seat and hard case to rest her back against. I'd love to have both, but the monthly insurance bill is getting a bit out of hand.

MT09SP all day everyday and twice on a Sunday

OC: I would absolutely go for the Tracer. Perhaps it's because I'm in my 40s, and also already own an SV650X, so I have the naked bike thing covered. It would be really nice to have an advanced touring bike - this would be an awesome one to add to my garage!

32yo here ! Drove the 09sp, loved it was about to buy one, then my dealer got the t9gt to test drive ! Got the bike, drove 2 minutes and i was thinking to myself " what a joy to ride this bike, fells like home" .. Im about the pick one for myself. So T9 for me 👌

OC: *Idea* 2-up overnight trip. I know, perhaps this should be for your new channel... I'll be watching!

Do a real comparison between the SP and GT in terms of comfort, handling, performance etc. I am considering both but undecided? Which is better and why and can you ride the SP long distance?

OC: I would definitely do the side grade. I need the utilitarian benefits of the tracer 9.

I always love the slow mo shots

OC: I would definitely sidestep to the Tracer 9 GT. The tank capacity, electric suspension, fairings and storage make it an easy choice. I can say I’m not really a fan of the dash setup. But I think the dash will become an afterthought. Especially when you’re crushing miles, shredding the twisties and cracking mega dank whoolies on the GT.

Can we get a comparison to the MT10 that you have? I know we did the MT09 SP already, but I'm curious about how it compares to your touring kitted MT10. Would also love a comparison to a street focused ADV bike. OC: I was debating a MT09 SP and landed on a used Ducati at the same price. I'd probably keep the MT09 SP if I didn't have other bikes, but the Tracer just seems comfier

I like the recent trend in adventure and GT (mild touring) bikes. They aren't race replicas, that are lethal to redline on the street, or cruisers that have little concern for performance. They are motorcycles designed to actually ride in a spirited manner.

Do an over night camping trip to Deals Gap and the cherahola skyway and see how it handles the overnight experience.

OC: Depends on the application. If you already have a more sporty profile motorcycle then the Tracer could be your long haul bike and you don't have to go full Dad Jeans with a GOLDWING lol

Please make some touring content. Do a weekend trip with city/freeway/mountain all included. 😁

Can’t wait to see mods planned, get the heated seat😬 plans for exhaust, please skip the Akra, too quiet

Yep I would definitely have the tracer over the mt09 but I do not like the dash on the tracer which is a big thing for me

Can you go somewhere far on a trip on it (100-300 miles)? To test out how it is in terms of long-haul abilities....

Can’t seem to find a windshield worthy of the tracer 9, I’m 6’0 and the stock windshield buffets a lot.

Will there also be a comparison with the upcoming XSR 900?

I would definitely take that bad boy (side-grade) on a two day camping trip on the parkway.

I would love to be able to share a picture of my 19 Tracer. Its far from looking like a touring bike. I love riding hard and aggressive look, but Im a tall rider and I hate how small the MT09 looks. Makes me look like a giant on it. So I went for the tracer and alwasy drive in 1 TCS A MODE and I did a couple of cosmetical changes, fender eliminator, integrated taillight, no mirros, small puig sport black windscreen, full titanium akrapovic system planing to do DynoJet ecuflash but just for speed limiter. I enjoy the power and I love being able to enjoy how huge the bike is. Pictures of me on it looks great.

As for ideas for videos, as a future Tracer 9 GT owner, I'd like to know how much you can fit in those saddle bags. Also I hear the dash is nearly unreadable in sunlight, is this true for you guys?

I had a XSR900 but wanted to do more long distance rides. My research narrowed it down to the Tracer 9 GT or the Triumph Tiger 900 gt pro. After sitting on both (winter in Michigan can't test ride) I opted for the Triumph, supposed to arrive any day. Hope I made the right choice.

I have the Tracer9gt and while I do like it I am bummed it has to weigh 70 pounnds more than the base mt09 (if the specs I saw are accurate) okay some of that is extra fuel but still seriously? 417 vs 485 and that is without sidecases btw lest you thought that explained some of it....I mean I get the fairing pieces and windscreen add to weight but that cant be huge right? My guess is a lot is in the beefed up subframe optimized for two up touring ...which I dont do so that annoys me to carry around who knows how much extra weight I dont want at all...,,,what would the 9gt weigh if it had the MT09 subframe??. OR alternately? What IF you transplanted the tank and fairing type pieces from the Trace to the MT09?
