- Smaller is better? It's an argument that's as old as the hills but does it carry water? We put our largest member of the team on Yamaha's smallest touring bike to find out. Was that a good idea? Probably not....

This is a very good bike - and a lot of fun too. This is a perfect companion for anyone intimidated by the Tracer 900's size or just looking to try out a tourer for the first time, for what it is it's well deserving of the 9/10 score! And there is a ton of accessories available from factory.
And yes, I have testet it, not just tossing opinions left and right....
Got one for a year now. Amazing bike, wakes you up in a blink! Great for every possible use (even off road with proper tires)
After you ride it, the whole competition seems dull ;-) Just changed the front springs, as the stock ones were a little too soft when you really go fast. No comfort complains - you easily do 200 miles without getting f@d up! Really impressed with it.
Perfect all rounder, better than a lot of bigger bikes.
I love these bikes, they are a perfect fun little bike and this is the one to get in this segment if it fits you, which it’s adjustable so unless your huge or tiny it should! It’s yamaha hyper motard for a lot less, a lot less!! And they made so many they will be fresh parts laying around for ever for these bikes. Myself like the big boy the 9/10 but I’m 6’3” 250lbs and been riding since I was a baby basically I don’t remember learning how, yea my dad was a military man 💪🏼😳 but he started training me little, I called it play but he knew what he was doing!!! Now that I’m older and he has passed, I can plainly see that! My dad was the Vietnam Vet who bought a slightly used CB750four k for little of nothing! He was a hell of a guy, and a amazing sales men, he was the kind of guy to clean your own garbage up and sale it back to you, seen him do it for years! 😂
Good vid guys and spot-on in terms of the end result.
I've owned one of the Tracer 700's for about 13 months and 8000 kms and truly can not fault it. When I want to ride gently it's 6th gear and ride the torque, or, drop two gears and she screams with the TEC exhaust I put on. The biggest surprise is the fuel consumption - average 3.7 ltrs per 100 kms !!!!
Bought her brand new for 8000 euros and love every ride.
At last another Bike Show video - it's been too long chaps!! Great review and lovely bike but what is it with the one light on thing, why do manufacturers do that?! Looks pants!!!! Keep up the great work chaps, from a grim and grey Blighty, all the best - TMF
TheMissendenFlyer copying the old Yamaha r6 design of the low beam being one, and full beam being the other.. I had a Yam YZF R125 in the UK and same thing with the lights all to replica the bigger (popular) style.. but a lot of people mod the lights so both are on instead of looking like a bulbs blown 24/7
By the way, forgot to say, love the reviews and the enthusiasm. Thanks
I have the MT-07 naked bike, and I'm a bigger guy, but it carries me with ease! Nice video!
Bring this bike to the states already!
They did such a good job designing the Tracer. I prefer the styling over the conventional MT07.
You forgot the most obvious competition, versys 650
My first thought too
Was wondering if they weren't offered in SA when they didn't mention it. This will compete directly with the Versys 650 and VStrom 650.
I rented one of these back in the summer and did a hot lap around Wales. It was wicked. I wouldn't buy one but it was an awesome little bike.
Friggin love mine, even if it's the learner restricted model we got in Australia.
I would love one of these in the usa. the only thing making me think twice about the mt07 is the lack of windshield and the simicomfortable seat
I had a MT07 until it was stolen in crime infested Blighty. I replaced it with a Tracer 700 which has the same engine but is far more stable at speed in cross winds (the MT felt dangerous}. In town the MT 07 is the greatest bike in the world and, with it's light weight, is the best wheelie fun. The Tracer feels bigger, gives the rider a much better view of moron drivers, and has far more presence on the road. The great engine is the thing the bikes have in common, and I love both. If I had to choose between them, I would buy a screen for the MT, hang on, and hope for the best. The Tracer is, however, a great bike. The M. flyer's review summed the bike up really - it's a big leap to the MT 09, that I test rode recently, I cried with laughter at the same time as peeing myself with terror. Bring it on!
Stolen? No no, you mean culturally enriched.
I love my Tracer MT-07 !!!!! great review....
Damn... I wish we got this show in the U.S....or full episodes streamed online.
For what it's made to do this is the best value bike to put a smile on your face. It compares to a good-looking girlfriend with zero makeup & just wants to have fun.
How big is that guy? He doesn't look out of place on the relatively small mt07
My son has the mt07 good fun bike , I agree quicker than you would think without silly speeds
Another great review blokes. Lovely bike. Unfortunately here in Aus we dont get the 689cc tracer mt07,its either the tamed 650 version or the full powered 900.
Yamaha MT-07 TRACER!!! Clickbaited me into this :/ I really was hoping for the regular FZ07 Review. But I will still watch :)
For comparison, I would have said the Versys or the V-Strom. Although to be honest, the Tracer sort of reminds me of my old 96' GSF 600 Bandit albeit as a 700 parallel twin and updated for 2017. Sort of like the look too.
Wow. I test rode one and found the handling left a lot to be desired. Front end feel was vague, nothing particularly great about the engine, throttle response is slightly lagging and the fit and finish look like something from a 3 year olds toy box. But then again, my reviews aren't dependant on manufacturers loaning me future test bikes or not..
will M I felt the same way sbout the Ducati Monster 600 and something. Didn't think much of it at all while lauded universally by everyonr else. Can't agree with you abour BMW though, only 90% of their models are mingers :)
great review as usual....how would you compare the tracer 700 with the hypermotard 939? As a fun bike just to move around on weekends near home? Thanks for your advice and congrats for your programe !!
Yamaha could sell a zillion of these things in the US. Don't understand why they won't bring it here.
well done
I have a Honda NC 750x and it makes only 54 BHP and 68 Nm of torque.
Not to mention the 270 degree firing timings... couple that with a full bore Akro and it sounds like the Devils Rottweiler.
I have the 900 tracer.
Is the Kawasaki Versys 650 not sold in South Africa? Seems that should've been mentioned in wrap up discussion on the topic of alternative bikes.
Why this bike is not launched in india
has it got plenty of pull through the gears ?
Hi there Gents - Maybe perhaps just change the title of the video to MT-07 Tracer..
Love the Bike Show's videos! :)
I'm a 'mature', returning biker looking for a 'first' (for 24 years) bike that isn't going to get me into too much trouble, but have a bit of fun and zip to it. Leisure riding only. I'm looking at the Tracer 700 and V-Strom 650 - any observations/preferences/recommendations gratefully received...
Well, the MT-07's engine isn't going to kill you, that's for sure. I got my license on one of those, and passed all the tests on the first try. It's still plenty fast enough, because the bike is quite light. It's very agile too. The stock exhaust is quiet. You can't really hear it at over 80kph/50mph. But with an Akrapovic system it sounds great!
Thanks Tuppoo - tried them both, loved them both. Went for the V-Strom in the end, as I love V-twins, it just 'fitted' me better ergonomically - and it has traction control as standard :)
Go with the MT-09, better tie down points for touring.
*Tracer - should be in the title. The Kawasaki Versys is clearly the direct competitor, the Ninja is not. The NC750 actually does NOT make 75hbp, it only makes 53. The Scrambler is a completely different bike, at this rate you might as well compare it to anything else. Jesus do you guys know anything about bikes at all?
I like the looks of the MT 07 better then the looks of my MT 07 naked.
I hate the MT 07 naked headlight.
But if i had the MT07 Tracer, i would want both headlights on.
They need to make them both on low beam and high beam.
Jojo Crazy Cat you can have them both on just leave in the high beam position
like the design though....
Put an aftermarket exhaust on that thing. Tabby cat turned leopard.
I Like Funny chatting between you all 3 Hahaha...:D
hi bike show, how is it compared. to vstrom 650 xt?
Rather go for the more powerful MT09 Tracer
Isn't the 900 only like 36 pounds heavier? I rode one recently and didn't find it heavy at all...
Seems like a rough ride
Like review and like bike, but tourer and one head lamp don't belong in the same context.
streetbob 2017 next please
yep I have one just like this motorcycle 🤓
The Ducati show? Isn't the scrambler made in India
No
KTM and BMW have manufacturing units in Inida but not Ducati (yet)
ENEMY TAGETS FOUND: Sugar and fats... Alert!!!
NC750 makes 54 at the crank. 20 down on this Tracer.
And it weighs at least 20kg more. My father in law has the NC750S and like you said, the engine verges on boring.
Apparently it's 2 cylinders straight off the Honda Jazz car engine...
1:54 OMG the fucking Cringe !!!!
Or buy a Honda CBR500R :D and use the extra 40k on Insurance & fuel for the year ;) Really not much diff in performance In the real world
Different bike demographic and style. I'd say CB500X would be more of a direct competitor.
Same weight bike 46hp vs 75hp that's a big difference. Tracer does 0-60 in around 3.4sec that's noticeable performance.
one suggestion, talk less and show more of Motorcycle ..let the video be of less lengh, never an issue
