The Soul of the Machine
Soul
The essence of the Tracer 9 GT is effortless velocity. It is a sophisticated grand tourer that refuses to sacrifice superbike-level cornering performance. It feels deeply engineered, calculated, and unshakable on the tarmac — the perfect companion for conquering winding mountain switchbacks, delivering a flawless balance of long-distance luxury and aggressive sports handling.
Technology & Engineering
⚙️
KYB Semi-Active Suspension (KADS)An onboard computer adjusts your front fork and rear shock damping 125 times per second based on real-time road data. Stiffens under hard braking to eliminate dive; softens over rough pavement to maximize traction.
🎯
6-Axis IMU ControlLean-sensitive Traction Control (TCS) and Slide Control (SCS) allow you to safely deploy all 117 HP even when deeply leaned over in a wet corner.
🧳
Touring Ready — StandardComes with aerodynamic color-matched hard side cases, cruise control, and a fully adjustable windscreen straight from the factory.
Model 02
Yamaha MT-09
From RM 59,000
1 / 2
The Soul of the Machine
Soul
The MT-09 does not care about luggage, wind protection, or pillion comfort. Its soul is absolute, unadulterated mischief. It is a raw, minimalist street rebel whose defining sensation is that instantaneous, front-wheel-lofting surge of torque — the one that turns a mundane evening commute into an adrenaline-fueled playground.

CP3 Powerhouse — 890cc Crossplane TripleBlends the low-end torque of a twin with the high-RPM scream of an inline-four. The broadest powerband in its class.
🏗️
Deltabox ChassisHighly rigid, lightweight die-cast aluminum frame gives the MT-09 its signature razor-sharp, flickable handling through tight city streets.
⚡
Full Rider Aids SuiteAdjustable power delivery modes, lift control (anti-wheelie), and a quickshifter for lightning-fast clutchless gear changes.

The Soul of the Machine
Soul
The Ténéré 700 possesses the spirit of a mechanical stoic. While other adventure bikes are turning into rolling computers, the T7 intentionally steps backward to let you go further into the wild. Born from rally raid DNA — completely dependable, completely unkillable.
