Overview - Yamaha Tracer 900 2015 vs Yamaha MT-09 2017
The Yamaha Tracer 900 2015 and the Yamaha MT-09 2017 are both sporty motorcycles with similar technical specifications. They have the same engine type, engine power, torque, transmission, cylinders, strokes, and displacement. Both bikes also have a double disk front brake, front and rear tire dimensions, wheelbase, and fuel tank capacity.
The Yamaha Tracer 900 2015 has several strengths. It offers sporty performance like all MT-09 models, with 3 riding modes, ABS, and traction control as standard features. The bike has a taut chassis, providing plenty of lean angle clearance for riders who enjoy aggressive cornering.

On the other hand, the Yamaha MT-09 2017 has some unique strengths. It features Öhlins suspension, which is an extreme enrichment for the bike's overall performance. The addition of an Akrapovic exhaust system improves both the bike's aesthetics and sound. The Magura HC3 radial brake pump offers a divine braking experience, while the Carbon2Race covers enhance the bike's overall appearance. Additionally, the combination of the seat, footrests, and handlebar clamps is highly effective.
However, the Yamaha Tracer 900 2015 does have some weaknesses. The wind protection on this model is not optimal, which may be a concern for riders who frequently travel at high speeds. The seat could also be more comfortable, especially for long rides. Additionally, the handlebars may feel too wide for city riding, potentially making maneuvering through tight spaces more challenging.

On the other hand, the Yamaha MT-09 2017 has its own set of weaknesses. The bike requires a significant financial outlay, as well as a lot of working time to install certain parts. Additionally, some parts of the bike may need to be registered, which can be a hassle for some riders. It's also worth noting that the ECU flash on this model is not road legal, which may be a concern for riders who prioritize compliance with regulations.
In summary, both the Yamaha Tracer 900 2015 and the Yamaha MT-09 2017 offer similar technical specifications and performance. However, the Tracer 900 has better wind protection and a more comfortable seat, while the MT-09 offers enhanced suspension, brakes, and aesthetics. Riders should consider their priorities and preferences when choosing between these two models.

Yamaha Tracer 900 2015
Take two, pay one. With the MT-09 Tracer, you get almost a whole MT-09 with all its sportiness plus a touring bike that is suitable for everyday use and to some extent suitable for travelling, with decent comfort for all situations. Just remember that there are many more comfortable bikes in this category - but hardly any sportier ones. Easier to ride, easier to control with 3 riding modes, ABS and traction control as standard. Only the wind protection could be better and the seat for long distances can only be found in the accessories.

In conclusion, after several stops throughout the season, I can look back on a great result. Both in terms of performance and looks, our MT-09 is perfect. The suspension was probably our most important issue. Where before there was clearly (too much) movement in the rear in fast corners, now it is ironed over without batting an eyelid. The STX 46 shock absorber is quite stiff in its basic configuration, but also manages to get through everyday life without being uncomfortable. Thanks to generous adjustment options, there is still room for individual preferences and uses. The function of the NIX 30 cartridge is also impressive. The response behaviour - especially under load - has improved significantly. There is now also much more reserve available when braking. Where before the fork went into block and the ABS triggered when braking hard with the original set-up, now the brakes simply continue to work effectively. In addition, the MT-09 now follows the intended line in the curve radius as if by itself - a pure pleasure. The sight and sound of the Akrapovic complete system are also pure joy, and the fact that it produces a few more horsepower is felt effectively, especially in the upper third of the rev range. The front wheel shoots even more willingly into the gallery in 2nd and 3rd gear.
