Spotted at the R&R area in the vicinity of the Hong Leong Malaysia factory in Sungai Buloh, Selangor were a trio of Yamaha Tracers, Yamaha’s offering to the adventure-touring market. In this series of photos sent in by a paultan.org reader, one the bike bears the Tracer 900 GT and Yamaha badges, while the other two, despite the hidden branding, carry the matte blue paintwork of the new Tracer 700 GT.
However, it was unable to be determined if the engines were the three-cylinder of the MT-09 or the two-cylinder of the MT-07. If we were to say the matte blue machines are the Tracer 700 GT, there are differences in the appearance of the engine and swingarm.
This is because the Tracer 700 GT has a radiator hose leading from the water pump to the right side of the engine, which appears to be missing from the photos. The Tracer 900 GT was launched in Europe in November of last year and comes with riding conveniences like a quickshifter, cruise control full-adjustable suspension and an instrument panel taken from the YZF-R1.
Carrying the three-cylinder mill from the MT-09, the Tracer GT produces 115 PS at 10,000 rpm and 87.5 Nm of torque at 8,500 rpm, with power getting to the ground via a six-speed gearbox. In Malaysia, the Yamaha MT-09 Tracer 900 retails for RM53,681.

From the pics alone they’re all Tracer 900s. Note same chassis and engine cases and body panels. The GT is is the silver/black (SP) colour scheme, the other 2 being the standard model.
So they bring in the GT…is the MT09 SP forthcoming….
The blue one can’t be standard version, see the meter is TFT. As I know the new standard version still using the old screen
more sensible choice then Honda F700GS.
more sensible choice then Yamaha F700GS!
Am I right?
Yeah…Honda F700GS
So…….BMW CB650f
haha..that funny
What’s the difference between the GT and standard Tracer 900?
A slightly longer swing arm for starters, modified body work, cruise control and better shocks, more – lastly higher price tag. Can read it in the online journals
actually both have new longer swing arm. Tracer wobble issue can be said “is cured’. In Youtube vid the review of non-GT Tracer 900 say new speedcut now at 225kmh. old Tracer only cut at 190+-kmh.
very handsome bike. Love that Triumph Tiger Sport look on Japs bike.
Is the Yamaha Tracer 900 GT coming in to Malaysia?
