This Yamaha ADV Will Make You Want To Move To Europe

Yamaha has been selling some very solid bikes across the continent for a while now, and this new adventure bike will surely make Indian ADV enthusiasts green blue with envy. Yamaha has launched the 2025 Tracer 7 and Tracer 7 GT in Europe for £8,804 and £10,104 (around Rs 9.86 lakh and Rs 11.32 lakh, if converted directly). 

The bike shares the same CP2 parallel-twin engine with the Tenere 700 but in a road-biased package, 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 fitted as standard, ensuring that it’s touring-ready straight from the factory. 

A Fresh Design

From afar, the Yamaha Tracer 7 shares the same silhouette as the previous version, but take a closer look at it, and you will notice the changes. The bike now gets a revised fascia in the form of sleeker LED DRLs, a compact LED headlight, and redesigned body panels, which include a new front fender and a new windscreen. The overall design ethos is now similar to Yamaha’s global lineup and looks quite good in our opinion. 

Apart from the aesthetic changes, some ergonomic updates were made to the bike as well, including raised handlebars, more padding in the seat, and increased pillion space. The 2025 model also gets a split-seat setup, unlike the predecessor’s single-piece unit. 

 Oh, the fuel tank has gotten 1 litre bigger too, at 18 litres. All these changes are sure to make the bike an even more capable globetrotter than it has ever been.   

Features Galore

The major changes Yamaha has made to the 2025 Tracer 7 are in terms of the features. The bike now gets an updated TFT display which supports smartphone connectivity. The 2025 iteration 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 continues with the same revered 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 a new linkage to the swingarm and gets remote preload adjustment. The braking prowess has also gone up, as the 2025 Tracer 7 range now gets radial brake callipers at the front as opposed to axial ones in the previous model.   

ZigSays

While there is no official announcement whether Yamaha will get the Tracer 7 to India, Yamaha is planning to get the more off-road oriented motorcycle (along with a few other big bikes), the Tenere 700 here. The 2025 updates are quite comprehensive and they help the bike to be a lot more wholesome than before. We really wish Yamaha brings the bike here as the segment is just ripe for the pickings as we already have its rivals, the Triumph Tiger Sport 660 and the Kawasaki Versys 650. One more bulletproof Japanese middleweight ADV will only make things more exciting, if you ask us.
