Another good and honest review, keep up the good work!
You are a great reviewer.. always honest. Also I love your accent!! 👍
A excellent reviewer, it's first time seeing you! I'll come back 👍
Very pleasant to see what these romanian guys do ! I love the bikes you review, love the content, great audio quality. Keep it up guys, might become a patron :) Succes în continuare !
multumim! Thank you!
Love that colour, thanks for another great video 👍🏼
The one no one wants...dealers are full of old stock red/orange ones,you cannot get a blue,all sold or not getting discounted...2021 red one far nicer
i wish we had it in america. it would be at the top of my wish list.
what you have in usa from yamaha then?
@@g_siegl3707 Tenere + MT07...check out Jake the Garden Snakes MT07 ADV build
@@williamrae9954 you have the xsr700 too right?
Brilliant review
As a fresh new owner of this bike, I will say that one of its biggest problems is the windshield which doesn't do much even on its highest setting.
There is though an original Yamaha touring windshield for about 250$ (at least where I live) which I consider buying. It's a bummer to pay extra, but it also is kinda nice to have both because on my daily commute to work it's not such a problem, but when you go out for a ride and spend a couple hours on high speeds the wind noise gets annoying.
Other than that I'm super happy with my tracer and proud to own it ( I still didn't see another one on the street so I feel special 🙂)
I bought the puig touring screen for €109 in the Netherlands. It looks better and protects perfectly.
I also bought heated grips from daytona, also for € 100. Sooo good in the cold weather of last weeks.
Great video, thanks!
Faci o treaba buna! Keep it up!
Good review, I like your honesty.
Any chance you could review a 2021 Honda NC750X DCT??? I would Love to get your opinion on this bike. Thanks 🙏
What a gorgeous bike. I wish they sold it here in the US.
They do
All the extras are going to come on a new model. That will make it more desirable. Look at an early tiger 800 with no ABS the only extra really was heated grips.
Nice Test
Very good and nice bike. It should have more electronics to be perfect. But it is almost.
Firstly,just bought one last week,still to collect it yet.
Screen; First thing coming off, Faco low one going on,hate screens,never seen/had one on a Tracer 900 i liked
.
Exhaust; Don't waste you cash on an Akra, for £700 more you'd be better with the 115bhp turbo kit(145bhp if you do the engine guts).
Get Arrows downpipes,a Lextek can or a £44(delivered) can from China,ran one for 9000mls(15k kms) on the 900,excellent,with a custom mid section made at any exhaust shop(£80 + K+N filter/flashed ECU).
Seat; I bid 800 miles(1400km) on the Tracer 900 on it's 2nd day out of the shop, my arse survived that,a Tracer 7 is a couch by comparison!(had one for a day).
Huge amount of accessories for these bikes,go hunting out with the Yamaha parts catalogue, Kedo for adventure footpegs ,Barracuda for headlamp guards to name two...or a bolt on turbo kit from Extreme Creations(Australia).
I'll be starting a channel with a Tracer 700 ADV build...stay tuned!
The X-Max 125 Scooter also comes with ABS. Ironic?
Is the suspension any better than the MT-07???
belíssima moto
Wind screen is definitely too small for taller riders. Waiting on the Puig one to be released. Cruise control would be nice. Really the only manufacturer that offers cruise control in this segment is BMW afaik though.
Guzzi 75tt
Nice review, but please lose the sepia filter.
Seriously how tall are you? :O
How could you get to 5.4 l/100 km? I am trying too but since I bought it I am at 3.6 l no matter how I drive! :) I am very satisfied with it, just, as you said, windnoise is quite high and I am thinking about touring plexi.
The puig screen is much much better, looks good and is around 109 eu.
Teth is bike a wow 🔥
Nice but I might go Versys as they quite a bit cheaper here. Have decide soon, it's time.
Can't go wrong with a versey's but they are boring and the resale is terrible. But it's the perfect motorcycle really. To get the job done.
Same old design sucks, I would have better gone with Tracer
@@chrishart8548 boring? What?
@@edugarciahernandez2327 do you ride your bike or sit and stare your bike?
YAMAHA BRING TO AMERICA!
America, Fuck Yeah!
I have this bike, now with about 3000Kms, and I can confirm the 400km fuel range, if you go easy on the throttle.
I also agree the seat could be more comfortable.
To me, the best this bike has to offer is the engine. Good torque from the low rpm all the way up, and i was able to go over 200Km/h easily with top and side cases on.
The bike also feels very light. Great at low speeds around town.
The rear suspension to me is ok.
Now the front... on good asphalt is great. We can go fast on twisties and combined with the light weight and nice torque from the engine, it's a joy to go from corner to corner.
When the road has lots of bumps and holes, that's when I find it too hard. I've tried playing with all suspension settings, with no success. I believe the problem to be the compression setting, which is not adjustable.
There's fully adjustable ohlins cartridge and springs for this bike, but I'm not sure if it will fix it or just make it more sportier.
Since you have more experience with lots of bikes, how did you find the front on bad asphalt?
Keep up with the good reviews! :-)
It was ok, considering the package and the suspensions you usually get in this segment. I wouldn't put an Ohlins on the Tracer. I'd keep it like this for some time, then switch it for a better bike.
@@DriveMagRiders Ok, thanks for your answer.
Traction control isn't going to come until Yamaha updates the throttle to an electronic system which I can't see on their budget sports tourer... Yamaha are very slow when it comes to features as they rely on their fabulous CP engines and it's worked so far... but for how much longer, as other manufacturers have caught up a lot recently not to mention that £8k is actually a lot of money for a bike.
I think this bike shines always through its engine abd is meant to be in the lower budget/ beginner class.
When you add ABS, you basically have TCS. Why they didn't pother to add traction control is beyond me....
It’s probably an option that’s already installed, but that you need to pay extra to have it activated.
Good Job, excellent review, but, I would like to watch a review about the new manufactured chinesse midsize motorcycles such as benelli TRK, Voge 500 or Macbor XR5, even the Zontes All of them have a very competitive price, and not all riders can afford a KTM, BMW or Ducati. Thanks a lot
Meanwhile in India we are getting 150cc single cylinders as new models😫😫
Göstergesi 2017 modele göre daha güzel ama kafa tasarımını 2017 model de daha güzeldi.
2 years later , still no traction control
Ziceti si voi pe ce drumuri sunteti, bagati o animatie draguta cu zoom pe harta din satelit, faceti un pic de publicitate tarii daca tot va urmaresc atatia vorbitori de limba engleza.
Errrrm.. how many cylinders?
2
I have a Yamaha FJR1300.... doble the engine, double the power, 100 kg over this Tracer 700 and I also get 5.5l/100km....the same as you....
Something wrong with the bike or you ride like a maniac?
Lungu Gabriel
Or you ride like my little sister 🙂
We see on the video that he twisted hard the throttle... so we can hope less consumption
He was test riding the bike in different conditions like city, twisted roads and highway, naturally if you have short time to test bike and you need to get the understanding how it behaves in different situations you won’t ride it most eco way. By the way the smaller engine itself does not mean automatically lower consumption. Eg with your FJR is significantly less effort needed for acceleration to achieve 0-100km/h than with this one which means every time you are on high rpm with smaller engine your consumption is mad for some seconds compared with bigger bikes that does not need that much rpms for acceleration.
I think that he was totally unfair on this bike. I prefer it over a GS but then im honest to myself about the roads that i ride.
You can buy everything again from Yamaha.
Why not have whit your new motorcycle from the beginning
It's pretty slow to have any TCS or other systems. I was riding the MT-07 which is the same engine and it feels underpowered. I think that's why they didn't put any systems on it and raise the cost even more.
I think only a very bad driver would ever need traction control on a 70hp motorcycle
Your reply is a bit shortsighted. There can be alot of situations were traction control can aid a experienced rider. For example bad weather conditions or slippery road surfaces. Bad riding (not driving) has nothing to do with that. This bike is an entry level bike and traction control is a great feature especially for beginner riders.
Wow that is a lot of negatives...
I'm thinking about what bike to get:
1. Versys 650
2. Vstrom 650
3. Tracer 700
I guess ill go with one of the first two...
Versys for sure!
V strom for sure 👍🏻
The versey's boring engine more weight the v-strom old fashioned forks big weight long reach too the handle bars. Tracer is a lot of money now. But it is lighter and has the best engine. There all bad in some way.
Oh boy guys you making it hard for me to choose...
I would take the bmw gs but so expensive... 😭
@@fuminnas no traction control...
Vstrom has...
And yet still no tft display
And it's priced only a tiny bit less than the BMW F 750 GS. Sorry I would go GS!
2 things I don't like about the F750gs is the 77hp and conventional forks. But if you're comparing with the tracer then it 5hp up and the fork issue is the same. In the low spec the f750gs is very reasonable.
@@chrishart8548 So what would be your preference in the same price range and low specs?
@@alithejumbo I would choose the f750gs. In the previous tests I would have the f700gs over it's competitors. Then the tracer then the versey's then the v-strom. If I was ok too loose some power I would have a cb500x before the versey's
Brasil
2021 no TC
100
日本では販売してません。 Not sold in Japan ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡tear
Without traction control, a trash can 😒
Why do you need TC with 70 hp?
@@mickleblade i drive in rainy days. And 70hp is not innocent. Please take care of your life.
@@beyazmarti me too, I use a cbf1000, I should have TC.
Ha ha...if you can hold onto a 'big bang' R1 in Scotland(wet/greasy roads) with no electronics,you'll never need it on a bike below 100bhp.
From experience this is the shittest bike I've ever rode
Could you be more full of shit? Or a terrible rider probably.
Like the old Tracer it’ll most likely fall apart with rust! Terrible bikes.
Bullshit,maybe if you park it outside...
@Diederik De Groote Totally true, there isn’t enough ACF50 in the world to stop a Tracer from rusting. They use cheap Chinese sheet metal for all the folded brackets and a poor quality coating. How else do you think Yamaha was able to sell them for such a low price, by scrimping on the materials. Take one apart and you’ll know exactly where the money was saved.
horrific design of these modern motorcycles
CBF prototype?
Nonsense, use your voice and stop imitating.
