Yamaha Tracer 700

For 2025, the Yamaha Tracer 9 is returning to the US market, although the US version will have fewer tech features compared to other regions. This simplification could make the bike more appealing to riders who prefer a more straightforward riding experience without the extra bells and whistles. I believe this move could help Yamaha tap into a different segment of the market.

The 2023 Yamaha Tracer 7 has been praised for its versatility and comfort, making it a capable all-rounder or Sport Tourer. It is based on Yamahas successful CP2 engine and features an adjustable front suspension, a screen for touring, and the option for additional luggage. However, some critics noted the lack of cruise control as a notable omission for a bike pitched as a tourer. I believe this bike strikes a great balance between thrills and practicality, but a few more features could elevate it further.

A middleweight sport visiting cruiser, the Yamaha Tracer 700 is made available by Yamaha. Updates to its mechanical system and new color schemes have been made. It sports a smooth and maneuverable twin-cylinder engine, just like the Yamaha R7. The Tracer 700 is one of the best touring motorcycles in its class.
 

The 2023 Yamaha Tracer 7 GT variant comes with cases as standard, along with a rear carrier bar, tank pads, and a more comfortable seat. The screen on both the Tracer 7 and Tracer 7 GT is adjustable, making it easy to set to any desired height. This attention to detail in the GT variant makes it a solid choice for long-distance touring. I think the GT variant offers great value for riders who plan to use their bike extensively for touring.

The 2023 updates for the Yamaha Tracer 7 and Tracer 7 GT include new bar controls to access the display’s functions and a USB port on the updated dash. The bike can send info back to the phone, such as details of any problems, and record routes, distances ridden, and data like acceleration and top speed. This connectivity enhances the overall riding experience. I think these tech additions make the Tracer 7 a more modern and user-friendly bike.

The 2023 Yamaha Tracer 700 is expected to be priced around Rs 7.50 lakh in India (ex-showroom). The Yamaha Tracer 700 available in 3 colour options: Radial Red, Yamaha Blue, Tech Black.
