Well, it would be nice to have some of the extras, but I think my 2020 at about $2500 less was worth it. 2021 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT Sport Touring Motorcycle - Model Home 2021 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT Sport Touring Motorcycle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteinpa Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Screwed the pooch on that one. YUCK! From the bags to the front end to the gauges to the exhaust. ONLY good thing is increase of displacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daboo Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I thought it was ugly. Then I did the 360 degree spin view...and confirmed it. It is ugly. Chris 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alistair Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The panniers look great and i also like the tft screen. I am not a fan of the front end as it looks too much like a transformer for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerMalc Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Perhaps a USA rider could help. New 2021 model is quoted price of $14899 What is/was the list price of a 2020 model in the States Would like to see how much it has gone up and work out a guess of the price in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlambke19 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) So it looks like from the photos on the Yamaha site, that when the bike is running, the top lights have some LED strips and only the one bottom "headlight" is lit. Assuming that the other side will light up with hi beams activated? That seems so odd to me that you have all that potential for lighting and still only use so little of it in running mode. Edit: looks like the upper lights act as the cornering lights. And the dash - that its a nightmare. Just a tad larger of what the 19/20 GT models had would have been fine. Do not like the red at all. It hi-lights that giant front fairing. Not a fan of the blurple wheels, but would have to opt for the silver. Hmm...lots to think about.

Supporting Member knyte Posted November 17, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted November 17, 2020 Yeah I agree. I watched the promo vid and the 360 photo - it just looks sort of bloated and chunky...they've styled out those nice simple lines, replaced with bulbous and semi-useless protrusions for seemingly no reason. bleh Then again, who knows. Maybe it's a blast to ride and it's a killer deal in this segment. 2015 FJ-09 / FJR touring bags / oil plug mod / Evotech rad guard / SW Motech bash plate / VStream touring windshield / Seat Concepts: Sport Touring / Vcyclenut ABS rings (speedo correction) / Cosmo RAM mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGP61 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 OK, after having looked at the pictures and the video clips on line I like that Yamaha have moved the bike on a bit. I like most of what has been changed and will reserve judgement on the looks until I can see it in front of me. What I do know however is that I will in no way consider spending the difference in cash between my trade in price and a new model (guess about £6,000) I have a good bike in my 17 plate with 13,000 miles on it and it will be mine for a good bit longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy826 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I paid $13.5k US dollars otd for my 2020 two weeks ago, really no incentives given by Yamaha. I did get $500 off MSRP from my dealer who had to go get the bike 500 miles away. I traded a Africa Twin in and a Suzuki GSX both had miles on them. I received a $770 tax credit for the trades so my license plate and final up with my county was $114. From what I got on trade for the two bikes I ended up paying dealer $300 of the $13.5k I normally do not trade in motorcycles for other motorcycles but this time around it made $en$e. After looking at the 2021 glad I did not wait on it. The IMU would be nice but do I really need that, probably not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exbandit Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 In the interests of price comparison ... i bought a "new" pre reg demo bike about a month ago for £9500. It was actually registered in the second week of August. It had a few little extras fitted, rad guard, chain guard and tank side gel stickers. Lots of dealers i spoke to were trying to off load the 2020 models asap. Still some unregistered bikes for £10,000 about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
