Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Tracer 700 2017

The fact that the Yamaha MT-07 is the main parts donor for the Tracer 700 becomes apparent at the latest when you first open the throttle: the powerful parallel twin-cylinder engine exudes agility and a tremendous amount of riding fun. This makes it easy to live with on a touring enduro, which is a good match for longer distances. The chassis could be a little more precise and the windshield could be a little higher, but overall the Tracer 700 is the ultimate fun bike in its class - a lot of fun for comparatively little money.

Very powerful engine

comfortable riding position

easy handling

ABS series

modern design in the style of the Tracer 900

affordable

Relatively small windshield

chassis tuning a little too soft
