After its big reveal overseas in 2022, we knew it was just a matter of time that Yamaha’s technologically enhanced Tracer 9 GT+. Well, it’s almost a year later and, sure enough, the bike that has been previously available in Europe is now up for grabs in the US; Yamaha has pulled the covers off the new 2024 Tracer 9 GT+, crowned as its new sport-touring flagship.
The 2024 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ will be available from dealers in August 2023.Those major updates carry over to the 2024 model, but Yamaha has refined the package even more this year.
With the six-axis IMU still in place, the new Tracer 9 GT+ also retains all the rider-friendly systems from the previous model, with traction control, slide control, and wheelie control all giving the rider the ability to set their intervention level preferences or just turn the systems off completely. Yamaha’s Brake Control System is handled by the Hydraulic Control Unit which modulates brake pressure based on IMU, and front and rear wheel speed sensor data.
The new rider aid on the block for 2024 is Millimeter Wave Radar, a system that works a lot like adaptive cruise control in cars by measuring the distance to vehicles ahead and enables Yamaha’s adaptive cruise control and radar-linked Unified Brake System. The system works to automatically control the bike’s cruising speed to match that of the vehicle in front, maintaining a constant following distance and hopefully improving the ride experience on longer trips.
The bigger deal here might be that new radar-linked Unified Brake System, which makes its first appearance on a motorcycle according to Yamaha. The innovative system uses data from the Millimeter Wave Radar and six-axis IMU to ramp up braking input when the bike’s distance to the vehicle in front decreases to a certain point.
Fully adjustable electronic front and rear suspension is governed by the 6-axis IMU and ECU which instantaneously adjust the damping settings via a solenoid to achieve a smooth and secure ride regardless of the load or riding conditions.
With a mature, subtle style, the Pastel Dark Grey colour projects a look of refined high quality that matches the bike’s status as Yamaha’s ultimate Sport Tourer. Featuring blue wheels and Liquid metal bodywork with black upper surfaces, the Icon Performance colour conveys a high-tech feel inspired by the R1M.
Long distance touring is more comfortable with a redesigned seat, A revised shape and foam density gives better support for long riding days and the leather-like material, embossing and stitching provides a premium image to the increased function.
As for physical updates, here’s one we’re thrilled to see: an all-new full color 7-inch TFT display to replace the busy, unsightly twin gauges on the outgoing model. Yamaha implies that the new dash is brighter too, and riders can choose from three different screen layouts to match their preferences.
Naturally, there’s an app: Download the Yamaha MyRide-Link app, and you’ll also be able to get weather information and receive texts, among other functions. The Garmin Motorize app will also give you turn-by-turn navigation on the TFT display, though that will cost you; a new joystick on the left handlebar handles all the functions for the display.
We’re also stoked to see a new 10-way-adjustable windscreen, along with the expected height-adjustable seat, adjustable foot pegs, 10-level heated grips, and advanced cornering lights make their appearance on the Tracer 9 GT+.
For the class, this level of convenience really is somewhat rare,
The 2024 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ will be available from dealers in August 2023.
