presentation of the 700 TRACER GT 2017
The MT-07 is THE star of the market. And rightly so. Its 700 Tracer crossover variant is benefiting from this aura, and aims to match the success of its 900 Tracer big sister. For the time being, the Kawasaki 650 Versys won't let it pass. Is it a matter of taste? A question of price? Perhaps a special series could tickle the customer's fancy... That's right, the rascal is available in a GT edition, more apt to take you on a trip or on an impromptu whim.
Yamaha had already wisely used the idea of a roadster-trail-roadster equipped for Grand Tourism with the 900 TDM GT. The recipe is slightly different here, but the spirit is the same. First of all, the luggage. You can't go to the other end of the week without taking a minimum of bulky stuff. The 700 Tracer GT attaches the City luggage kit to its posterior, allowing 2 x 20-liter cargo compartments. Then there's a larger bubble, for more kilometers without straining the chest and neck. Lastly, Yam has improved on-board comfort, with a seat of the same name, and one that's better able to protect the rider's back on long trips.
The 700 Tracer GT finds itself in direct competition with the 650 Versys Tourer. Yamaha France, its designer, has made a real effort on price: the Yam is a hair less expensive than the Kawa, and the customer benefit reaches 854 euros. Basically, you pay for a suitcase and the brand offers you the rest of the GT package.
Powered by a lively 75-hp, 689 cm3 CP2 twin-cylinder engine, the 700 Tracer GT is available in the 3 colors of the standard 700, as well as an A2 version.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 2 reviews
Good news
- engine
- tires
- brakes sufficient for me
- weight
Negatives
- large bubble not effective even in high position (I'm less than 1m75 ...)
- pain in the buttocks despite the comfort saddle (the problem comes from the incline, you slide)
- handlebars too narrow
- handguards that don't protect you from anything, but give you a hard time. Retros-clignos-master cylinder-controls, everything is tied together by this crap
-catastrophic luggage. For the price, it's a real rip-off
On the whole, all the equipment is of poor quality or badly thought out. As a symbol, the equipment socket is a cigar lighter, whereas today we charge everything via USB. And the worst thing is that if you add a USB adapter, you can disconnect the cables with your hand-guards on sharp bends..
All in all, it's a great engine, with a chassis-suspension-brake package that can be greatly improved, but is still decent, and peripherals from m**** Rating : 3/5 Respond to James
