Yamaha Motor Australia has revealed its heavily revised 2018 Tracer 900 and all-new Tracer 900GT models are now available in dealerships across the country.

The updated Tracer 900 and GT motorcycles were initially unveiled at EICMA in Milan, Italy, last year, where it was confirmed the established sport tourer would receive a major overhaul along with the addition of the enhanced GT version. ]

The Tracer 900 boasts a larger windscreen that offers better upper body weather protection for a more relaxing and enjoyable ride on longer journeys – and with its manual height adjustment facility, it can be quickly set to the desired position.

Yamaha’s designers have also made subtle but efficient revisions to all of the body panels and covers in order to improve the overall look, feel and quality of the 2018 model. A new air intake area on the front cowl gives a more refined appearance, and the design of the fuel tank’s sidepanels and sidewings are also revised to enhance the overall style.

For 2018 the Tracer 900 is equipped with a newly designed aluminium swingarm as well as revised rear shock settings to further enhance the bike’s touring performance, allowing the installation of genuine hard side cases.

Both the rider’s and passenger’s seats are new for 2018, and as well as giving higher levels of comfort, they also enhance the premium look and feel of the Tracer 900. The rider’s seat can be adapted for height in two positions – high and low – to accommodate your personal riding style. Plus, there’s a soft pad on the tank for added rider comfort on longer journeys.

The Tracer 900 also benefits from narrower handlebars together with slimmer and lighter hand guards. The new layout gives a more natural riding position for added comfort, and the new handlebars help to keep the rider’s arms out of the airflow at higher speeds.
