What Is It?

The Yamaha Tracer 700 is an A2 licence friendly sports tourer and is powered by a liquid cooled 689 cc parallel twin engine, producing 74 bhp at 9,000 rpm and maximum torque at 6,500 rpm.

Features include:

• Steel tubular frame with Aluminium swingarm
• Dual 282 mm wavy discs up front with four piston calipers
• 245 mm rear disc with single piston caliper
• ABS system
• Non-adjustable 41 mm fork with 130 mm travel
• Rear shock with 142 mm travel 
• LED tail light and front LED position lights
• 6 speed gearbox with gear position indicator
• LCD dash

Compared to the MT-07, on which it's based, the Tracer has a 5 cm longer swingarm to offer more stability when cruising at motorway speeds fully loaded and two up - it's also now Aluminium rather than steel. The change subtly changes the bike's geometry to offer a more relaxed riding position however the now one piece seat ends up 3 cm higher.

There is also a mini fairing, ABS as standard, a larger 17 litre fuel tank (up 3 litres), manually adjustable windscreen with 6 cm range, hand protectors with integrated indicators, revised suspension settings at the front with more travel and the exhaust is now Euro 4 compliant.

That all adds up to 14 kg more than the MT-07 on which it's based. The 10-spoke 17" wheels take a 120/70 tyre up front and a 180/55 at the rear.

Accessories include 20 litre soft side cases (£360), 39 litre top case (£115), taller screen (£112), Akrapovic exhaust system (£825), comfort seat (£130), heated comfort seat (£290), LED fog lamps (£320) and 12V socket (£24).

• 2016-2018: Black, red, blue, dark blue (2018)
• 2019: Blue, black/blue, grey/red
