Yamaha Tracer 9
The Yamaha Tracer 9 was introduced in 2021 as a significant evolution of the Tracer 900, featuring a redesigned CP3 847cc triple-cylinder engine, updated chassis, and a revised suspension setup with optional electronic semi-active suspension on the GT variant. It builds on the Tracer lineage that began with the MT-09 Tracer in 2015, positioning itself as a versatile sport-touring middleweight. The Tracer 9 GT+ variant arrived in 2023 with further refinements including radar-assisted cruise control, making it one of the most technologically advanced middleweights in its class.

What Buyers Should Know
Rock-Solid CP3 Engine
The 890cc triple-cylinder engine is shared with the MT-09 and has a strong reliability record, often exceeding 50,000 miles with basic maintenance. Valve clearance checks every 26,600 miles keep service costs relatively low.
Watch the Quickshifter
Some early Tracer 9 owners report inconsistent quickshifter performance, particularly on downshifts, which can be jerky in urban riding. A software update or aftermarket autoblipper often resolves the issue.
Strong Resale Value
The Tracer 9 GT variant holds resale value exceptionally well due to high demand for its adventure-touring segment and included electronic package. Expect to retain 75–80% of value after the first year compared to many rivals.
