So heres a pic from Yamaha of the new bike, this is one for all you luggage and screen people, it looks like a baby multistrada.

Looks a bit "clunky" for my liking.

 

[mooster62]

Not to my liking

 

[KatanaAl]

Ive got a Super 10 as well as the MT09 and I could fancy one of those.
For serious touring, the problem on the MT09 caused by spray and crap being thrown over the back of your jacket in wet conditions would not be acceptable.
Looks the same arrangement for the rear mudguard or the lack of.

Must have a better rear shock to be carrying any sort of additional weight

 

[Davy]

Hope that seat will fit the MT

Someones already grabbed

FJ09

Not bad for £250, I'll expect it will appear on Ebay soon

They will only make money if someone is stupid enough to buy it, and if they are I have no sympathy

Why's that?

If you can afford it - why not?

 

[flipper]

I'd rather spend the money on suspension, fuel and tyres but each to their own.

I think it looks ok for what it is. Not my type of bike, but as tourers go it's not too bad looking and will be lighter than any of the competition.

Its not something I would buy as a true tourer should be a shaft drive , if I was going on a euro trip last thing I would want to worry about is checking the chain etc.

 

[crotchrocket]

Looks kinda interesting to me, seeing as i sold the MT for a Duel Sport. I know this is road only, but TBH....so am I !! Wonder if the Street Tracker Akra would fit

 

[Twozup]

Hope it's got a bigger range than 100+miles and a few more on reserve ;-)



Classic Street Tracker project underway for winter......

 

[EMR]

finally
MT-09 Tracer 2015 - Motorcycles - Yamaha Motor Europe

 

[Banksy]

Hope it's got a bigger range than 100+miles and a few more on reserve ;-)

Its got an 18L tank from what i've read...

 

[EMR]

and they added Traction Control..
Screen same as Super Tenere.. But main chassis and the engine completely same..

 

[flydnb]

If its only 8k its a bargain tourer to be honest , not my thing but compared to the 11k + other bikes this looks like a really useful all rounder thats good value .
