The Japanese hulk Yamaha has produced their tourer MT-09 Tracer. The bike is the faired version of the MT-09 naked tourer. The Fazer lineup has received another chapter to continue the legacy of touring. Though, the former is based on the FJ-09 platform and is so called in the regions of US, it has got a unique character to blink a positive wave against the competition. Yamaha has tried to add futuristic appeal to the bike while keeping the disturbances aside.
The dual headlight system offers LED lights with an elongated wind screen. The mirrors are blown aside and knuckle guards are arranged in a looping fashion. The things look perfectly balanced, yet the puffed look of Kawasaki Versys 1000 seems better than the Yamaha’s kid. However, the dashboard is something unique with a tablet killing display size parted in two and shielded with 3 step wind shield. Everything in the Tracer is meant for the betterment of the eventual performance and comfort.
Identified as a tourer, the Yamaha MT-09 Tracer has slope down split seats stitched for comfort over the long run. The Yamaha is really concerned about the series and has equipped the engines which have a past record of producing highly convincing aggression. The 843cc 3 cylinder CP3 engine produces 113PS of power. Yamaha has worked over the throttle response. The 6 speed gear box is on its duty.
The switchable traction control system is available as a standard and the D-Mode endows three power settings. They allow switching between the power required to suit the different riding modes including sports, touring and daily commute. The fuel tank of the earlier bike was worth 14 liters which now can fill 18 liters. Suspensions of the bike are adjustable pre load with rebound damping. The front housing is upside down and the rear holds a monoshock. The gross weight of the bike is 190KG and the center stand is made standard in all variants.
