The Yamaha MT-09 Tracer (FJ-09 in North America) is a sport-touring motorcycle first offered in 2015. The engine come from the MT-09 (FZ-09 in North America) and is a tri-cylinder with 847 cc (51.7 cu in) "desaxé" type, an aluminium frame and inverted fork.
Design and development
The production manager of Yamaha Shun Miyazawa indicated that consumers have moved away from sport motorcycles and opted instead for unfaired or "naked" models and the sport-touring style. After Yamaha stopped production of the sport-touring model Yamaha TDM (only offered in the early 1990s in North America), many people view the MT-09 Tracer as the TDM's successor.
The technology of the MT-09 Tracer (FJ-09 in North America) comes directly from the Yamaha MT-09, adding a partial fairing and windscreen, a bigger fuel tank, ABS brakes, traction control, and electronic throttle modes called "D-Mode." The board is exactly the same of the Yamaha XT1200Z Super Ténéré. The Tracer also has LED lights on the head lights and in the rear stop light. The rear subframe is bigger and more robust and incorporates factory supports for lateral cases. The rear shock is a bit longer and the seat and handlebar are higher compared to the MT-09. The back and front suspension travel is longer.
