Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 800 GS 2013

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Yamaha Tracer 700 2016

The Yamaha Tracer 700 is clearly more mature than the other MT-07 models. It seems bigger and a little more ponderous, but also more complete and confident. It's a really good touring bike that doesn't leave you wanting for anything.

Perfectly dimensioned

good wind protection and ride comfort

easy to handle

Relatively long legs required

average brake
