ALL-IN-ONE amaha’s update to the Tracer 900 is a welcome one. With the panniers, cruise- control, heated grips, adjustable screen and up-shifter, the GT is a full-spec’d sports-tourer for the just sub- 20,000 price point. There are options for a bigger screen and a heated seat which can be fitted prior to delivery too. amaha has hit the mark for a bike that’s designed to be an everyman machine, the one bike that sits in the garage. It’s good If you’re looking for that one bike you can put in your garage to cover most of the riding you might do, then Yamaha’s Tracer 900 GT should be on your sho" list enough to give sports-bike style kicks on the road this is clearly no track-based sports machine . The riding position is 300km day comfortable, for me at least, and it could easily be pressed into service for commuting to work during the week. If you’re looking for that one bike you can put in your garage to cover most of the riding you might do, then amaha’s Tracer 900 GT should be on your short list. KIWI RIDER 43
