I bought this bike, tracer 7 2023, two weeks ago and did nearly 2000 km's on it since. I new for sure that I would replace the stock exhaust with an akra, but now I like the stock sound very much. Suspension on the 2023 model is super, as are the front brakes! Super upgrade from Yamaha. I do not mis the horsepower and comfort of my previous FJR1300as at all. Tracer7 is superfun.
This engine is also very reliable - already made 60k km on mine, and there is nothing to do beside changing oil and routine maintenance. It still has the factory clutch. Last year I replaced the shock absorber with an Ohlins dedicated one. I was a little bit concerned that it will make the bike more sporty and less comfortable, but it was quite opposite! The bike gained so much stability on the fast and long corners and the damping does the job on the not so great pavement like the one from your video. For this season I bought front fork cartridges (also Ohlins) and cannot wait to test them! I do not regret any single cent spent on the suspension, this bike has so much potential and only one major flaw (very cheap springs) that could be easily eliminated. Great lightweight tourer, commuter and fun bike!
Yes indeed!! So far I rode two different MT-07s with Öhlins installed. It turns the bike into an almost perfect machine! Money well spent indeed! Nice!!
First of all, congrats on your bike. Just want to say that you haven't crossed any line by passing the 60k mark, that's nothing. 😅 There are Honda's NC700/750, CB500X/F (etc) with way more miles than that without opening the engine for repair. Some of them have 350/400.000km without any problems and doing the 12k km oil and filter change intervals. 👍
@@tiagofigueiredo2529 or just ask any deauville rider nt650/nt700 My nt650 had 49k when i bought it. No problems of course My nt700 i bought now has 61k. Nothin.
Do you have any update about the forks mate? I am stuck between making the same changes and changing the bike. I love T7 how agile, raw and fast yet suspension and lack of cruise control are its weakest point. Yet I can get by with a throttle lack If suspension makes it solid and stable.
I love, how this engine sounds and feels always faster than it is. And really think that in real life it's more important to havee power you can really use. Having an extremely strong bike, which you drive permanently illegal or where you only use 20% of its potential doesn't make any sense to me....
What I love most about this video is that you ride quick and fast when you can, but you respect the road when there's a blind corner or something. You approach it slower and keep an outside line to prevent riding into oncoming traffic. I love this style of riding a hundred times more than the umpteenth moron that knees down every corner because MotoGP!! and almost kills somebody in the process. Also you respect the villages and the locals, ensuring that future riders may still enjoy this beautiful ride and not have the local government close it off because loud pipes and high speeds annoy the villagers too much. Keep it up, nice video!
Dude these videos keep me sane during the long Canadian winter. My MT07 is still tucked away since October :( Can't wait to feel the torque rush from that engine again!
Had this for 200km when my Tenere had a service. It was nice to feel the even more improved Eu5 version of the engine. It felt quite a bit more more responsive. Also, the suspension was much better than the original suspensions of my MT07 RM17 that I had before. Actually I couldnt fine any negative points anymore for a bike of this kind and price range besides the wind protection, that hit me right in the middle of my helmet xD
Is that with or without a touring screen? I got a 2022 GT and haven't had much issues with wind protection. Then again I haven't been out on the motorways too much yet
I have the puig touring screen and 150 km/h is no problem on long motorway trips. makes the bike much more suited for long distance touring and looks a lot better then the weird yamaha touring screen. I also have the shad sh58x topcase. It can hold two large helmets when I park the bike and expand the topcase. Then it doesn't look nice, but when driving I make the box small again. It is more usefull then the standard small side cases, were you can not fit even a small helmet.
It should have had an aftermarket exhaust… the beautiful ride visually will go to another level with the melody of that CP2 700 when it sings … all in all its an awesome video!
Exactly for this type of roads in France and Spain we bought 2 of them in 2017 and its still fun. I am still impressed about the character of the CP2 together with 196 kg full. My Wingwomen has upgraded hers with Wilbers Suspension, I am still thankfull to slowed down a little with the origin 😉
Another great video! When can we expect to see a Tracer 900 video on one of your home roads? Thank you for the excellent content you never cease to amaze Schaaf!
Danke, dass du solche tollen Augenblicke mit uns teilst. Wahnsinns Straße, ich kann diese Saison kaum noch erwarten. Dieses Stück ist definitiv auf meiner To Drive Liste gelandet :D
I find it very relaxing to watch @Schaaf's videos while kicking back with my favorite music and a beer. And don't worry, the music is not so loud that I can't still hear that sweet engine music from the video I'm watching. One of my fav songs while watching these videos is "Long Way to Love" by Britny Fox.
Lovely video and very accurate description. Just add a aftermarket exhaust for the melody and a quick shifter..🔥 CP2 is a spectacular engine and imo more than enough for most things. 👌🏼
13:47 ah, the abs kicking in prematurely, a familiar sound for tracer owners! Would love to let you have a go on my tracer with upgraded suspension and brakes some day, it really makes it the ideal bike for tight mountain roads. My first bike was a cb500 (you might remember that I bought it 6 years ago because of your videos) but I'm not planning to let the tracer go anytime soon!
These roads and views are just sureal! Love me some CP2 too, it does much more than you'd expect from the factsheet and although it is not loud at all, it sounds realy nice!
Always a pleasure seeing your videos, keep it up. PS: I'm still not decided on a Tracer 7 or NC750X, I'm quite short so the NC is more attractive due to seat height difference and low CG.
Hey I am a new rider and looking into my first bike for touring. I really like the mt-07 and your video made my so excited about the bike. I am really curious because I read some blogs that said the tracer series have problems with the suspension which is considered soft and all over the place in corners by some. Did you ever encounter this issue? Also I am a tall 190cm man, and want to ride with my girlfriend as pasanger. Do you think that the mt-07 has enough space for us and cases to handle week long trips with 400km per day? Thank you very much, really liked the video and hope that you can respond with some feedback!
Nice engine, linear torque. Brakes ok, front fork bumpy and cheap, overall quality of materials under acceptable minimum. Still, very good looking bike.
You could describe most modern Yamahas that way. Great engine, mediocre suspension/chassis/brakes and a subpar build quality for a Japanese maker. Will never understand how Kawasaki and Suzuki can make well rounded quality bikes for cheap (Versys/Vstrom 650) but not Yamaha.
@@WoZIMoo Exactly... V Strom is my favorite in that price category. Sharp enough, comfortable, reliable... The Xt model is even the most beautiful of the three, in my opinion...
Now that you ridden recently a NC750X how would you compare both? Comparing my 750S to a MT07 - Yamahas engine is much more fun, loved it! But I favor ergonomics, handling, suspension of my Honda... The plus on power on the Yamaha is great, but on the other hand, I favor to ride roads like in this clip, and the NCs engine has enough Schmalz to have fun on these kind of roads. Still did not ride the tracer 7, which is price/value wise a very nice offer. I love also the tracer 7 look, it should just be able to handle more weight for riding with a bbw ;) Great scenery!!!! PS: oh i noticed it quite at the end, this is not the latest incarnation, but the older 700 model. The newer one might have slightly better suspension...
It might be improved but I'm almost sure that also the newest generation of the Tracer 7 will have slightly worse suspension than the NC. So the NC offers more stability and comfort. But other than that the Tracer is more powerful, more agile and to me, more fun.
I rode the same bike for over 20000km and I can confirm that the stock suspension is worthless. However I'm not sure if there's a better tourer for A2 riders. (And the engine is superb of course)
11:40 nice to see a little bit of UK road has been put in the middle of this paradise ! Why did they take our best bit and not some of our terrible bits ? We have plenty of those to spare...
Man hört sehr schön raus, wie du in den ganz engen Ecken den Motor gegen die hintere Bremse arbeiten lässt, so mache ich das mit meiner FJR wegen der Lastwechsel auch gern 👍🏻
Das habe ich auch angefangen zu machen, ich weiss nicht mal warum, aber auf einer gehetzten Passage das erste mal zufällig passiert und irgendwie kam die Erkenntnis das dies irgendwie das ganze runder macht.
I still say they need to combine the motor from the Tracer 700 with the chassis and suspension from the Versys 650. Get rid of the lawnmower boring engine of the Versys and the terrible suspension of the Tracer 700 in one fell swoop :D
Question am between the tiger800 2011 and the tracer 700 2015. Where i live the are about the same price. Am going to use the bike as my main transptation and maybe two long trips per year. Am asking which one you like more because you have ridden both bikes. Thanks
Can i ask you something? I have an R6 2005, i am looking for a more confort bike for my wife, i have doubts on tracers: isnt the 2 cilinders more vibrating than 4cilinders motors? I am afraid of the vibrations of the 2 cilinders motors vs the 4 cilinders. How is this tracer700?
Is it correct that i'm hearing a loud whine when you downshift in high rpm range? I have a '16 Tracer and it often makes a loud whining noise, which I suspect has something to do with ABS.
You don't miss much. 😅 It has the same quality's as the MT07 built in Indonesia. The Tracer is assembled in France. The poor quality of the basic materials used is the same. There are better japanese bikes on the market. 👍
@@Schaaf The equivalents are the Versys 650, the new Triumph Tiger 660, V-Strom 650 and the NC750X. The Versys and Tiger are made in Thailand, the Kawasaki shows it's good quality in every aspect compared to the Yamaha, the only "downside" is the 180º parallel twin, the Triumph I haven't seen one closelly but it seems it's well constructed too. Then you have the V-Strom and NC, both still made and assembled in Japan, and those we all know their worth, the NC is a tank, a miles/kms eater, it may not have the same amount of hp and "fun factor" as theTracer7 but is very practical, reliable and durable. The NC also has a 270º parallel twin like the Tracer7 and the V-Strom has something others Japanese manufacturers should make, a V2 engine in a Trail bike. You have quality over HP (Versys 650), the Triumph (I don't know), an overall better bike with a different/better engine (depends on your point of view) and more confortable (V-Strom 650) and the last but not least, reliability, durability and practicality over performance (NC750X), all of them against the Tracer 7 made with basic and poor-quality materials, soft suspention and brakes that only gives you a little, the only thing "cool" on that bike is the engine. There are better japanese bikes on the market for sure, all in this price range.🤔 Now, you choose. 👍
@@tiagofigueiredo2529 All used prices as I cannot afford new: 1) F 900 R - $8500 USD 2) R 1200 R Gen 1 or 2 - $5000 USD 3) R 1200 R latest gen - $8000 USD 4) R 1200 RT Gen 1 - $5000 USD !!! Crazy value for what you get!!! Only bikes offering cruise control in this price range!
Mate you aren't missing much with the Tracer 700. I had a new one (2021 model) for a day. Controls and finish felt/looked cheap, the suspension was wallowy and the chassis lethargic. Felt oddly cramped, as well... I've ridden all manner of BMWs and even used ones will be leagues ahead in terms of overall quality and enjoyment. The R1200 platform is a great all-rounder. Good luck in your bike search!
Not at all. I just rely on my experience to read my surroundings correctly. And around blind corners, as you can see, there's no other safe way than just going very slowly

that's a personal thing. I mind 4 cylinder vibrations more than two cylinder vibrations. Your wife simply has to test that out
Is it correct that i'm hearing a loud whine when you downshift in high rpm range? I have a '16 Tracer and it often makes a loud whining noise, which I suspect has something to do with ABS.
Yes there's a whine indeed. I have no idea where it was coming from but the sound was hilarious to be honest

Then you have the V-Strom and NC, both still made and assembled in Japan, and those we all know their worth, the NC is a tank, a miles/kms eater, it may not have the same amount of hp and "fun factor" as theTracer7 but is very practical, reliable and durable.
The NC also has a 270º parallel twin like the Tracer7 and the V-Strom has something others Japanese manufacturers should make, a V2 engine in a Trail bike.
You have quality over HP (Versys 650), the Triumph (I don't know), an overall better bike with a different/better engine (depends on your point of view) and more confortable (V-Strom 650) and the last but not least, reliability, durability and practicality over performance (NC750X), all of them against the Tracer 7 made with basic and poor-quality materials, soft suspention and brakes that only gives you a little, the only thing "cool" on that bike is the engine.
There are better japanese bikes on the market for sure, all in this price range.🤔
Now, you choose. 👍
The perfect bike that is not sold in the US. I hate Yamaha. Their US headquarters are just down the street too.
how bout a little visit? :D
@@Schaaf Nope they're forcing me to buy BMW and they will just have to live with it!
@@drewmorg. And what BMW are you planning to buy? 🤔
@@tiagofigueiredo2529 All used prices as I cannot afford new:
1) F 900 R - $8500 USD
2) R 1200 R Gen 1 or 2 - $5000 USD
3) R 1200 R latest gen - $8000 USD
4) R 1200 RT Gen 1 - $5000 USD
!!! Crazy value for what you get!!! Only bikes offering cruise control in this price range!
Mate you aren't missing much with the Tracer 700. I had a new one (2021 model) for a day. Controls and finish felt/looked cheap, the suspension was wallowy and the chassis lethargic. Felt oddly cramped, as well...
I've ridden all manner of BMWs and even used ones will be leagues ahead in terms of overall quality and enjoyment. The R1200 platform is a great all-rounder.
Good luck in your bike search!
Do u use the gps to see also the following coners to maintain your speed.. is it helpful?
Not at all. I just rely on my experience to read my surroundings correctly. And around blind corners, as you can see, there's no other safe way than just going very slowly
Tracer700 plz jpn😭
best of luck!
If only they put a simple dash like that on the tracer 900 instead of the fugly thing its got!
Ok
Turned off due to those stupid beeps.
STOP accelerating in neutral, please. It’s useless and very annoying for the viewer. I like your clips and I hope I’ll see them in the future. Thanks!
I don't even know where I accelerated in neutral
Wtf are you talking about 😂we must not have seen the same video 😂
Such a boring Engine....
Quite the opposite
