The bike looks great but needs a spec update to compete with the tiger sport 660. Traction control, upside down forks, slipper clutch, electronic throttle with ride modes,quick shifter Shame because I really like the new black colour way with gold wheels

@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure 10 ай бұрын

Thank you. I believe in this day snd age all bikes should come with Stability and traction control. The bikes already have abs. Such a great piece of kit. My 13 F800GSA has this why not a new bike... I guess the telescopic forks are this cheaper than USD forks and do the job. The Tracer 7 does come with a slipper clutch.

I'd like to complain about a lack of cruise control, but instead I'll complain that the tracer 7 never has and seemingly never will sell here in japan....

@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment. I suppose they don't want to make it too easy on riders. Yes cruise control would of been a nice feature. I suspect we will see this as standard in later models. Same thing happened with cars... Took ages to make cruise control standard and now it's pretty much a given... I say pretty much as it depends on the brand involved. Is it not available in Japan or it just based on the bike itself that it will never sell there.

@KairyuRider 11 ай бұрын

@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure it isn't sold in japan. Yamaha doesn't tiring French models here in fear of quality control. So they built an entire factory for the tenure 700. The tracer 7 isn't seen as worth a factory I guess...

@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure 11 ай бұрын

@@KairyuRider interesting. I know some models aren't offered in some countries and In my opinion perhaps they think they will flood the market or simply reduce demand on others. The tenere 700 is something though.

@KairyuRider 11 ай бұрын

@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure I can see the idea that maybe the tracer 7 would take away from the mt07 sales. But I'd think it would just as easily take away from the Suzuki vstrom. Kawasaki versus 650 isn't sold here either but you seem imports all the time. I'm sure yamaha could take from that no problem

@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure 11 ай бұрын

The problem here is that there are multiple franchise dealers. Honda and Yamaha are sold out of one place. Almost like competing with yourself. Probably evne worse in Japan. Probably sell Yamaha, suzuki and Honda deom one place.

Nice review, but not all is usefull. Why do you show how you open the panier? Everybody knows. 😂 You could show how to detach and install the paniers. Installing the paniers go's wrong if you do it too quick and sloppy. How do you tune the suspension. Damping and preload? How is the bike driving two up? Comfort, suspension with a pilion? How do you setup the dash and what are all the features. Aren't the 25 l. paniers from the fjr better, because you can fit a helmet in them. Not in these 20l. paniers!!! Only the lid of the paniers is different.

@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure 10 ай бұрын

HI there, in my opinion static reviews are helpful at going through the details on the bike. If you like the look of it and appreciate the equipment level you would end up test riding it yourself when you go to the dealer. I will be conducting test ride reviews in the near future. Insurance has been the biggest issue here I am afraid.

@DeadLead 10 ай бұрын

I have the 2021 version with touring screen and comfort seat and we done 35000 Km, so, long therm user here. * Standard seat becomes uncomfortable after about 2-3 hours of total ride. Resting may help but usually your ass will start to feel sore immediately even after 30 mins break. I strongly recommend comfort seat for tourers. * Touring screen is a must have if you gonna do long tours. It does ok job but much much better than standart one anyway. Third party options like Puig may do better for longer riders (my height is 179cm). * No touring bike should be sold without cruise control. T7 does not have it and it's a big con if you ask me. They are not safe yet throttle locks make this bike long tourer. * Rear suspension is on a little hard side for touring with no passenger (my weight is around 80kg). Little more towards to sporty side and you cant adjust it. Suspensions are fairly stable and let you feel the grip with correct settings, of course if you are in It's weight range. * Engine is fun. I love It's sound but on/off throttle is jerky, especially on low gears, no matter how smooth your input is. This may be tiring sometimes in cities with traffic. * Windshield will rattle and that makes it feels cheap. There is an easy fix but it shouldn't be this way at the first place. Let me know if you have it and looking for a fix. * It`s agile, stable and fast. It`s slim profile will help in traffic hugely. And cornering is fun. It`s a perfect bike for short travels like weekend tours. It's raw form provides great fun on the street and twisty roads. But lack of cruise control, comfortable seat and suspension makes long tours little less fun sometimes.
