An Italian outlet examined whether the Yamaha Tracer 9 GT is "worth buying today." The sport-crossover model debuted in 2014 as the MT-09 Tracer and has since evolved through the Tracer 900 and Tracer 9. The GT comes with panniers, a large windscreen, a comfort seat, cruise control, and a center stand, while the GT+ adds front-and-rear radar-based adaptive cruise control and blind-spot detection. The review calls it fast and comfortable, with a good balance between equipment and price.

Following this lineage carrying the MT-09's triple, tracing the evolution from the old model is genuinely fascinating. MT-09 Tracer, then Tracer 900, then Tracer 9. Each name change has come with refined substance. The GT+'s radar-following cruise and blind spot detection are the kind of equipment that makes you grin just reading the spec sheet. The balance of touring completeness and price is exactly what makes this model irresistible.

That CP3 triple sound is the best, a real all-rounder that handles touring too.

I've been riding it since the MT-09 Tracer days, and it keeps getting better every generation.

Being MT-09 based, it started out as a wild horse, feels tamed down in the GT.

People say it's mellowed out, but easy manners are exactly what you want for touring.

Loaded with equipment, but going for the GT+ ends up pricey either way.

Radar-adaptive cruise and blind-spot detection on the GT+, impressive that it comes at this price point.

Radar is tempting, but the base GT feels like it might already be enough.

The Tracer9 GT is really polished as a touring bike, kudos for making the center stand standard.
