Yamaha MT09 Tracer Small passenger review.

Yamaha MT09 Tracer Small passenger review.

We are in the midst of get in a more tour oriented motorbike, so we have been testing some  different options (BMWf800, Triump Tiger Xr800 and the Yamaha MT09 Tracer) this time we made a small video of the Yamaha MT09. 

It is an all around motorbike that, I find to be a good compromise for someone who is in my situation of going from a super-sport motorcycle to a more upright tour oriented bike. The MT09 has a lot of character and gizmos and I like that a lot.
