Yamaha has been selling some really great bikes across the continent for quite some time now, and this new adventure bike is sure to make Indian adventure enthusiasts green with envy. Yamaha has launched the 2025 Tracer 7 and Tracer 7 GT in Europe at £8,804 and £10,104 (roughly Rs. 9.86 lakh and Rs. 11.32 lakh, if converted directly).
This bike has the same CP2 parallel-twin engine as the Tenere 700, but in a road-biased package that is sure to melt the hearts of mile-munchers. The only difference between the two motorcycles is that the Tracer 7 GT comes with side panniers and a centre stand, which ensures that it is ready for touring straight from the factory.
Yamaha ADV New Look
From a distance, the Yamaha Tracer 7 shares the same silhouette as the previous version, but you will notice the changes when you take a closer look. The bike now gets a revised fascia in the form of sleeker LED DRLs, a compact LED headlight and newly designed body panels, including a new front fender and a new windscreen. The overall design is now similar to Yamaha’s global lineup and looks pretty good in our opinion.
Apart from the aesthetic changes, the bike also gets some ergonomic updates, including raised handlebars, more padding in the seat and increased pillion space. The 2025 model also gets a split-seat setup as opposed to the single-piece unit of the predecessor.
Oh, the fuel tank has also grown by 1 litre, holding 18 litres. All these changes will make the bike a more capable round-the-world commuter than ever.
Yamaha ADV Features
The major changes that Yamaha has made to the 2025 Tracer 7 are in terms of features. The bike now gets an updated TFT display that supports smartphone connectivity. The 2025 model also gets four ride modes, two levels of traction control, three power modes and cruise control in addition to the already existing dual-channel ABS. The switchgear is also new and the bike now comes with heated grips as standard.
Upgraded Underpinnings
While the Tracer 7 gets the same 689cc parallel-twin CP2 engine as the Tenere 700, which makes 73PS and 68Nm, there have been some changes to the suspension setup. The inverted fork is now 18-step rebound adjustable, while the monoshock gets new linkage to the swingarm and gets remote preload adjustment. Braking capabilities have also been enhanced, as the 2025 Tracer 7 range now gets radial brake calipers at the front as opposed to the axial ones in the previous model.
Conclusion
While there has been no official announcement on whether Yamaha will bring the Tracer 7 to India, Yamaha is planning to bring a more off-road oriented motorcycle here (along with a few other big bikes), the Tenere 700. The 2025 updates are quite extensive and they help make the bike a lot more complete than before. We really want Yamaha to bring this bike here, as this segment is a perfect one to pick from, as we already have its rivals, the Triumph Tiger Sport 660 and the Kawasaki Versys 650. Another bulletproof Japanese middleweight ADV would make things a lot more exciting if you ask us.
