The new TRACER 9, TRACER 9 GT and TRACER 9 GT+ take a clear step towards the future as Yamaha’s Sports Touring range sees a host of updates for 2025, heightening the sophistication of one of company’s best-selling ranges. Powered by the thrilling 890cc CP3 three-cylinder engine, the three-bike 2025 TRACER 9 line-up redefines expectations in the middleweight touring class. The new models showcase Yamaha’s innovative Y-AMT (Yamaha Automated Manual Transmission) and cutting edge adaptive technologies including electronic suspension, cruise control and a world first Matrix LED headlight – specification far beyond the category norm.
All versions of the 2025 TRACER 9 feature a cornering headlight system and, in a world first, Yamaha brings sophisticated adaptive Matrix LED headlight technology to motorcycling on the TRACER 9 GT and TRACER 9 GT+ models. With a matrix of low and high beam LEDs linked to an integrated camera, this technology detects traffic, natural light, and weather to automatically adjust brightness and light spread for optimal illumination. The system increases rider confidence while riding at night, distributing the light in such a way that it tries to ensure other road users are not dazzled, while adjusting the illuminated area for the rider.
Standard on the TRACER 9 GT+ and available alongside a manual gearbox on the TRACER 9 and TRACER 9 GT, Yamaha’s Y-AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) delivers a new riding experience with a choice of fully automatic shifting or manual, finger-operated shifts using an electronically controlled auto clutch. The Y-AMT’s manual mode lets riders shift by hand alone, allowing riders to concentrate fully on throttle control, braking, lean angle, and grip—intensifying the riding experience, especially through corners.
All 2025 TRACER 9 models feature an advanced 7” TFT dashboard, while GT and GT+ models come with full smartphone connectivity. To enhance the ride, the TRACER 9 includes a storage area on the right side of the fuel tank with a USB charging port, so riders can keep devices charged on the go Riders can link their smartphone to the machine using Yamaha’s free MyRide app.
The connection can be made via USB, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth®, and once connected the rider can view information on incoming calls, emails and messages, while both riders and passengers can also listen to music and respond to calls with a Bluetooth®-connected headset (not supplied).
The smartphone integrates seamlessly with the TRACER 9’s display and switchgear. The rider can view the menus and control the device functions through the newly designed controls on the left handlebar cube. Additionally, when connected to the motorcycle, riders are able to personalise the custom modes of the Yamaha Ride Control, setting their preferred power delivery, engine braking and intervention levels of the TRACER 9’s numerous electronic rider aids.

Blade Motor Cycles Limited an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Blade Motor Cycles Limited to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
