Yamaha Tracer 9
The Yamaha Tracer 9 has a top speed of 210 km/h (estimated; manufacturer does not officially publish top speed), produces 119 hp and weighs 220 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
Der Yamaha Tracer 9 wurde 2021 als bedeutende Weiterentwicklung des Tracer 900 eingeführt. Er verfügt über einen neu gestalteten CP3-Dreizylindermotor mit 847 cm³, ein aktualisiertes Fahrwerk und eine überarbeitete Fahrwerksabstimmung mit optionaler elektronischer semiaktiver Federung bei der GT-Variante. Er baut auf der Tracer-Linie auf, die 2015 mit dem MT-09 Tracer begann, und positioniert sich als vielseitiges Sporttouring-Mittelgewicht. Die Tracer 9 GT+ Variante kam 2023 auf den Markt und wurde mit weiteren Verbesserungen wie einer radargestützten Tempomat ausgestattet, was sie zu einem der technologisch fortschrittlichsten Mittelgewichte seiner Klasse macht.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
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.

Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern
"The thinking rider's sport-tourer that embarrasses more expensive alternatives."
$8,500-$12,000 usedThe Tracer 9 is one of those bikes that genuinely surprises you. It looks sporty but rides like a proper touring machine, and the CP3 triple engine is an absolute gem — that mid-range punch between 4,000-8,000rpm is addictive in a way parallel twins just can't match. Used examples from 2021 onwards are hitting realistic money now, and that makes them seriously compelling. On used examples, check the quickshifter operation carefully — early units can be clunky on downshifts. Screen vibration at motorway speeds annoyed owners until the revised mechanism arrived mid-production, so ask specifically about that. Also inspect the exhaust headers for bluing; these run hot and some owners neglect heat wrap. Suspension is adjustable and genuinely good from stock, which is rare at this price point. The riding position is near-perfect for most builds, the electronics package punches above its class, and fuel economy hovers around 50mpg realistically. It's not glamorous, but it's devastatingly competent.
