Yamaha Malaysia’s latest upright sport-touring motorcycle, the Tracer 9 GT is priced at RM 69,498 (excluding insurance). Included in this price, however, is a 20,000 km/two-year warranty.

Powering the new Tracer 9 GT is a powerful 889 cc inline-three cylinder engine that also fuels the latest MT-09. The said mill makes a maximum power of 117 hp at 10,000 rpm along with a peak torque of 93 Nm at 7,000 rpm.

The power is sent to the wheels via a six-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch. Though it is the same unit as before but refined for a lighter pull. The first and second gear ratios are revised for smoother operation and match the new torque curve.

Furthermore, the engine is now in a more upright position within the Deltabox chassis. It calls for improved front-to-rear weight distribution and enhanced rider feedback.
