Yamaha Tracer 9 GT 2025: The Ultimate Sport Touring Machine

Yamaha's 2025 Tracer 9 GT is redefining what a sport touring motorcycle can be. Built on Yamaha’s iconic Deltabox-style chassis and powered by the celebrated CP3 engine, the Tracer 9 GT combines the thrill of a sportbike with the comfort and practicality of a long-distance tourer. Designed to excel on both twisty back roads and highways, it’s equally comfortable with a passenger and luggage in tow. This bike is loaded with advanced technology, including adaptive semi-active electronic suspension, unified braking with Vehicle Hold Control, and an industry-first Matrix LED headlight.

A New Level of Adaptability and Comfort

Yamaha has equipped the Tracer 9 GT with features that exceed expectations for a “middleweight” class motorcycle. The bike’s redesigned bodywork, a taller electronically adjustable windscreen, and a two-step adjustable seat make it ideal for big journeys. Both rider and passenger comfort is prioritized with increased space and thoughtful ergonomics.

High-Performance Engineering for Every Ride

The Tracer 9 GT’s lightweight wheels, crafted through Yamaha’s SpinForge process and fitted with Bridgestone tires, contribute to a light, agile ride that perfectly complements the lively three-cylinder crossplane engine. Lean-sensitive electronic aids further enhance handling, adapting to various road and load conditions.

Industry-First Matrix LED Headlight

An innovation in the motorcycle world, Yamaha’s Matrix LED headlight provides optimal illumination by automatically adjusting to traffic and road conditions. This system uses a camera to detect surroundings and control individual LEDs, maintaining ideal lighting without blinding other drivers.

Riding Flexibility with Manual and Automatic Modes

Yamaha’s Y-AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) brings flexibility, allowing riders to choose between fully automatic and manual shifting with a finger-operated switch. This adaptable transmission pairs with Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) to fine-tune engine and transmission responses based on road and rider preferences.

Advanced Braking and Stability with Unified Brake System

The Tracer 9 GT’s Unified Brake System automatically adjusts brake force between the front and rear wheels for optimal stopping power. With Vehicle Hold Control, riders have the added convenience of automatic rear brake application when stopped on inclines, making uphill starts smooth and effortless.

Ergonomics and Connectivity for Modern Touring

Newly designed backlit switchgear, a 7-inch TFT dashboard with three customizable themes, and a five-way joystick make it easy to operate the Tracer 9 GT’s many features. With Garmin LinkBox connectivity, riders have access to integrated navigation, calls, messages, and music through the Yamaha MyRide App, adding convenience to long rides.

Dynamic Suspension by KYB KADS

The Tracer 9 GT’s KYB Actimatic Damper System (KADS) is Yamaha’s most advanced electronic suspension yet. Controlled by the six-axis IMU and ECU, the system automatically adjusts to road conditions and load, ensuring a smooth ride regardless of terrain.

Hands-Free Convenience with Smart Key System

Yamaha’s Smart Key System lets riders operate the Tracer 9 GT without a physical key, offering central locking for the fuel cap, side cases, and optional top box. This hands-free system adds a layer of security and ease to the riding experience.

Enhanced Aerodynamics for Reduced Fatigue

The redesigned fairing and adjustable windscreen, developed through wind tunnel testing, minimize buffeting for a more comfortable ride. The windscreen’s stepless 100mm adjustment range lets riders fine-tune their wind protection based on their preferences.

Customizable Riding Experience with Yamaha Ride Control

Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) offers riders customizable settings for different conditions. Three factory preset modes (SPORT, STREET, and RAIN) come standard, while two additional user-defined maps allow for personalized adjustments to power output and electronic assistance.

Cruise Control and Speed Limiter for Highway Comfort

Designed for long-distance comfort, the Tracer 9 GT includes cruise control, engageable from third gear and adjustable in 1 km/h or 10 km/h increments. The built-in speed limiter helps maintain a steady speed, perfect for managing speed limits on highways.

Improved Rider and Passenger Comfort

With a 50mm longer subframe and revised handlebar position, the Tracer 9 GT offers a more relaxed posture for long rides. The flatter, generously padded seat and slimmer saddle at the standover point make for greater accessibility and confidence at a standstill.

Safety Enhancements with Emergency Stop Signal

In an emergency braking situation, the Tracer 9 GT’s LED indicators automatically flash, alerting nearby drivers of rapid speed reduction and improving road safety.


With its blend of performance, comfort, and cutting-edge technology, the 2025 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT sets a new standard for the sport touring class. Whether you’re seeking thrilling weekend rides or extended touring adventures, the Tracer 9 GT delivers a premium, versatile experience tailored to the modern rider.
