Positioned in Yamaha's sport touring motorcycle lineup, the 2021 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT pairs a 890 cc (54.3 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 119 HP (86.9 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 93 Nm (68.6 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 133.7 HP per liter and a 3,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (10,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Tracer 9 GT measures 220 kg (485 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.54 HP/kg (1.85 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,500 mm (59.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 380 km (236 miles) between fill-ups.
