Yamaha have revealed that their popular Tracer 700 will recieve the GT treatment for 2019, gaining an adjustable larger touring screen, roomy, comfortable padded seat and a set of colour-matched 20-litre side cases.

Following in the footsteps of the firm’s larger, three-cylinder Tracer 900GT, which uses the standard Tracer 900 as a base, it is claimed that this £7999 new version will allow owners to travel further and in greater comfort, without losing any of the fun and agility.

Using the firm’s 689cc, parallel twin-cylinder, crossplane engine, borrowed from their own superb MT-07, complete with a beefy 17-litre fuel tank (although no larger than the standard 700), the bike is a recipe for long-distance, B-road carving fun. 

The bike will be available in three colour options; Phantom Blue, Tech Black and Nimbus Grey colour.

See this bike debut in the UK at Motorcycle Live from 17-25 November at The NEC.

News Editor - I joined the MCN team straight from studying at the University of Sheffield, starting out as Acting Consumer Editor, before becoming the Senior Online Reporter, Senior Writer and more recently the News Editor. Although my first love will always be performance bikes and racing, I have a passion for all things two-wheeled. I did my Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) on my 16th birthday and passed my full test around a year later. I now cover around 20,000 road miles a year on motorcycles of all genres and in all weathers. I have also experienced elements of advanced rider training, tackled countless UK and international short circuits and achieved an ACU race licence to begin a fledgling competition career.
