YAMAHA TDM 900GT (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha TDM 900 was a sport-touring motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha between 2002, replacing the TDM 850, and 2011, when it was replaced by the Yamaha Tracer 900. The bike was part of the third and last generation of the TDM series.

In 2009, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha TDM 900GT, a sport-touring machine that featured several touring-oriented accessories compared to the standard model.

The 2009 GT model was released only for the French market and came equipped with a modified rear hull that accommodated two removable panniers, hand deflectors placed on top of the fork, and a lower fairing for more wind and debris protection, increasing the weight by 23.5 kg (51 lbs).

In addition to its touring elements, the bike had standard features, such as a front fairing with a dual headlight system and a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, a dual exhaust system, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

Underneath its fuel tank, the 2009 Yamaha TDM 900GT had installed an 897cc four-stroke liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine fed by an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, boasting 86 hp at 7,500 rpm and 88 Nm (65 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

All the power was sent to the rear wheel through a six-speed manual transmission and a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to 217 kph (135 mph).
