With the mid-weight adventure touring market bursting at the seams with options, Visordown takes a look at two takes on the long-legged mid-weight segment.
Both have under 700cc, around 70hp and cost around the same money. But which one should you find a space for in your garage?.

In December i sold my 2008 V-Strom 650 to buy, what else, a Yamaha Tracer 700 2020. In the next 20 days it will be in my hands and I'm really sure that I'm going to find the fun that i lost riding the V-Strom so many years. Yes V-Strom is trouble free but that's only it for me.

@Elliot_Vulpe 4 жыл бұрын

Bro you talk about 600-700cc bikes. Where do you saw fun there??? I can understand having fun with 100-160hp but from 72hp fun???? More like commuting... and tracer have hard suspensions and bad wind protection, so maybe new v strom or a super tenere

@AndreasBrOlesen 4 жыл бұрын

FoxOn Commute You don’t need more than 70 hp to have fun on a motorcycle. Even less will do in most regards. Most of those +150 hp bikes are way overpowered for fun riding on public roads. Try bashing a 500 cc class bike around and you will know. There are other ways of having fun on a motorcycle than going fast in a straight line right? I kind of agree though that if you want to have more fun riding it seem a bit silly to “upgrade” from a v-strom to a Tracer 700.

FoxOn Commute the new V Strom is a 1 litre bike, the 650 remains the same. I’ve got a 1 litre V strom gen 3, but the 650 outsells the 1 litre bike by almost 2:1, which is probably why the thousand got the upgrade. It was either that or drop it from the range, the 650 is very capable and you can really throw them around they’re great fun!

Here’s my not so humble opinion: Been riding over fifty years and still own a number of bikes, including sport, and standards. Along the way, I’ve bought three new ‘Stroms (‘09, ‘12, ‘15) and cumulatively ridden them long and hard over 200 000 kilometers. Through the jungles of Central America, mostly off road in Baja and Mexico proper and the frozen tundra of northern Canada. My 2012 now has over 100 000 kilometers; no issues. The only reason I won’t buy another is because I still have a perfectly good and fully farkled ‘15 XT model and the new release doesn’t add anything significant. I also went to buy the new 1050 ‘Strom but I’m going to pass on that too; if the the DL 650 doesn’t do the trick, I’d suggest buying a better (IE: much more expensive) bike. Bottom line: The DL650 V-Strom is far from perfect but, for most people, it’s perfectly fine.

Perfectly fine for me! I've had '06 (parts bike after being run off the road), '09 (still truckin' @ 110K) & '11 (as a replacement for the "09 that won't wear out). The Honda CB500X interests me as a "3/4 Strom650", but really I'm waiting to see what Suzuki will do as an update 650/700 in the next few years. I like my bikes (like my woman) steady, comfortable & dead set faithful. Go Strom or go home.

Ben Haynes I hear you! I had my ‘15 ‘Strom out yesterday, on and off pavement, and wondered why I have other bikes. Well, I know why I have other bikes, it’s because the ‘Strom hasn’t depleted my disposal income, yet another reason to keep a ‘Strom.

Worked with a bloke who used to put shit on my scooter for a couple of weeks, because he was a 'real rider' with his Ducati. My workmates took the fun out of it when they pulled him aside and told him I had other motorcycles. Of course, he bought every little bit of titanium bullshit for his bike, because weight reduction counts! He was only 25kgs overweight so shedding those grams counts. Strom reminds me of the bikes I started riding, UJM's that you ride to work all week, took to the hills to do a bit of scratching with your mates on the weekend and then take your girlfriend away for couple of days or weeks with all your gear.

I’m a new rider and selected the 2020 V-Strom 650XT as my first bike. I will be commuting daily but also looking forward to long road trips and off-road adventures. After months of research, I felt the V-Strom was the most versatile. I live in the US so the Tracer 700 is not available. It was between the V-Strom and the Versys. The V-Strom is so much more comfortable. Sat on Versys and felt as if my family jewels were getting crushed against the tank. The V-Strom provides a more linear powerband which I believe is better for a new rider compared to bikes like the Tracer or Versys that are probably more fun to ride but can get a new rider into trouble. I hear people complain about the dash on the V-Strom but I think it’s well designed and provides all the information you will ever need. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and in my case the V-Strom fits the bill. Looking forward to many years with my V-Strom.

I am very happy with my DR 650 and intend to keep it for a long time. And I prefer large analog gauges over the digital ones. JMO jfrom a geezer.

The prospect of *either* of these two is really enticing. The overall engine performance is probably pretty close, now, but losing a few pounds is always a good thing. They surely are more entertaining in the twisties.

The styling & profile is an obvious nod towards adventure bikes, just like the BMW F900XR, which BMW class as an adventure bike incidentally. Where as Yamaha class the Tracer as a sport tourer despite them essentially being the same concept. I don't have an issue with "sport tourer" tag as it's a more accurate representation of what the bike is for imo. The Tracer is a sport tourer with adventure bike type looks which is the whole point of my comment. The V Strom is a better adventure bike because the Tracer isn't one. Ask Visordown why they decided to compare the V-Strom with the Tracer 700 instead of the Tenere 700.

I own a '19 650 XT Strom, rode an mt-07, never rode on a tracer though but I would guess the seat on the Tracer would be somewhere between the MT and the Strom in terms of comfort. One big advantage the Tracer has over the Strom is 20 kilos less weight.

Contrary to what the video said, the Wee does have riding modes. Parallel twins (with few exceptions) are boring and a dime a dozen. Even the V-Strom replacement will probably be a parallel twin unfortunately. If you love the character of the L twin your choices are pretty much Suzuki or Ducati and the Suzuki doesn't won't be in the shop every other month lol. Don't get me wrong, the Tracer is cool, but when the V-Strom turns off on to the dirt road, the Tracer probably should'nt follow. 10 years from now no one will be looking for an old Tracer, but vintage V-Stroms will still be sought after.

A V-twin sounds better and has more low rpm torque, but more vibration at higher rpm. I have 2 bikes- a V-twin for shorter trips at 60 mph or less, and an inline 4 for longer trips at 75 mph.

Like the vstrom 650, but could not go back to a Halogen headlight after owning a bike with LEDs. A good headlight is such an important safety feature.

My current bike has full LEDs all round and I can't say it's any better than any other bike I've owned. I'm sure there are examples where it's better though.

You can buy a aftermarked LED headlight for the V-strom. And yes I know it's not standard fitted. But I think it will get LED headlight in a 2021 update.

@@stamK. most of the time there not. All you can use is a 55w lamp and the only deciding factor of how bright it is will be the physical size of the reflector housing. Some of the projector housings are better but they still need too be rather big. Some bikes have led lights that are not great either. I would never go back to lamps again.

Just sold my BMW R1200RT this week, realised my V-Strom 650 does exactly the same job using much less fuel and bulk. Ok maybe not with a passenger. Great for a few off road trails also, the RT wasnt!

I'm selling my BMW 1200 GSA. Bought a Versys 650. The 1200 is just too big and bulky. Thinking of going to a Vstrom 650 to get less vibes (the Versys has high frequ buzzing).

The vstrom are the one l buy. Its a do it all bike. As a commuter my 04 vstrom works hard all winter with no fuzz. In summer it takes me on long trips fully loaded,and it takes me for fun on gravel/twisty backroads. Despite its 16yo this year it looks brand new. So yeah i go for the dl. The Yamaha looks very cool, but it feels small.

The Wee Strom was the first bike I owned. I had it for 8.5 years and 70,000 miles. But I have to admit I traded up for a Versys 1000. I don't need the (limited) off-raod ability of a Strom, and it's hard to argue with the powerful and smooth engine of the big Versys.

@lacrauzorro Жыл бұрын

Really like the style/design of the Tracer 7, but it lacks a simple thing like the TC. The Vstrom is a realiable bike and despite the dated looks, it's well equiped for the price range. Yamaha makes great bikes, but is too expensive for the base equipment it brings, at lesat for the midle range price bikes, imo!
