Meet the 2026 Yamaha TRACER 7 and TRACER 7 GT: Two Paths to Adventure

Yamaha’s TRACER 7 lineup has long been a favourite among riders who want sportbike performance with touring comfort. For 2026, both the TRACER 7 and TRACER 7 GT return with bold styling, refined ergonomics, and cutting-edge technology that elevate every ride. Whether you're commuting, exploring twisty backroads, or planning a cross-country tour, there’s a TRACER built for your journey.

Two motorcycles are parked on a scenic road, surrounded by lush green hills and farmland. The motorcycle on the left is a silver model with blue wheels, and the one on the right is red with black accents. A rustic wooden fence and distant buildings are visible in the background under a clear sky.

Shared DNA: CP2 Power and Precision Handling

At the core of both models is Yamaha’s legendary 690cc EU5+ CP2 engine. This parallel-twin delivers smooth, linear torque and strong acceleration across the rev range. The engine’s characterful exhaust note adds to the thrill, while the A&S (Assist and Slipper) clutch ensures smoother downshifts and greater control during spirited riding. Both bikes feature a revised high-tensile steel chassis and a 40mm longer swingarm, improving stability and confidence—especially in high-speed corners. Adjustable 41mm upside-down forks and a linked-type rear shock provide excellent road-holding and comfort, whether you’re riding solo or with a pillion.
