not sure I'd be too happy noodling down some greenlanes on my tracer 7 with Road 6's! Just goes to show it can be done though...Such a great handling road bike on 17 inch rims, I wonder whether Yamaha would entertain the idea of doing something inbetween the Tracer 7 and the Tenere, with a 19 inch front wheel and a bit more ground clearance? I suppose the Tenere Explorer version comes close, but it's still leaning more towards dirt bike ergonomics. Still getting used to mine. bought it to replace a CB 500 X. Great bike but needed a bit more poke. In many ways the Tracer 7 feels like the CB, but I'm loving the extra bollocks of the CP2 engine.
