00:00If you've been following Yamaha's Tracer lineup since 2016, you already know it's earned a solid
00:06rep as a versatile sport touring machine. It's not trying to be the biggest, baddest bike on the
00:11block, but what it does offer is something way more useful, a perfect blend of fun, practicality,
00:17and comfort. And with the 2025 Tracer 7 GT, Yamaha has taken that formula and made it even better.
00:26What's new for 2025? Quite a bit, actually. Yamaha didn't just give the bike a facelift,
00:33they gave it real upgrades where it counts. The 2025 model now meets 5 euro plus emission standards,
00:40but still pumps out 72 brake horsepower and 50 lbft of torque thanks to that tried and true 689
00:47cubic centimeter CP2 parallel twin engine. If you've ridden a CP2 before, you know it's punchy,
00:54reliable, and just the right amount of lively for road riding and touring alike.
00:59Even with the stricter emission standards, the ride feels smoother and more refined.
01:05It's still that same approachable, easy-to-ride machine.
01:09Just more polished all around. Touring upgrades galore. Let's talk about what makes the GT version
01:16stand out. This bike is made to travel. It now comes standard with proper touring panniers,
01:21a taller windscreen, heated grips, and even a center stand. All the good stuff you typically
01:27have to pay extra for. The seat has also been upgraded. It's more comfortable and now height
01:33adjustable, sitting at 845 millimeters. Whether you're commuting to work or doing a long-distance
01:40ride, your butt will thank you. The suspension has also been beefed up. You're now getting stiffer
01:4741 millimeters inverted forks up front with adjustable damping. And out back, there's a
01:52revised shock with both preload and compression adjustability. A longer swing arm by 40 millimeters
01:58and a stiffer frame improves stability at higher speeds. Just what you need when you're fully loaded
02:04with gear and eating up highway miles. Improved ergonomics and tech. Comfort gets a nice bump too.
02:11The handlebars are now 30 millimeters taller and 50 millimeters wider, giving you a more upright and
02:18relaxed riding position. It's a small tweak that makes a big difference on long rides.
02:24Yamaha also added one liter to the fuel tank, so now you've got a little more range between fuel stops.
02:31Tech-wise, the 2025 GT gets a serious upgrade with a new 5-inch full-color TFT display.
02:37It's bright, clear, and actually useful. It shows ride modes, cruise control settings,
02:44and even connects to your smartphone via USB-C. Speaking of electronics, the bike now comes with
02:52ride-by-wire throttle, which unlocks three selectable ride modes, along with cruise control for those long,
02:59straight stretches. The gearbox has been refined for smoother shifts, and there's a new slipper clutch
03:04that not only makes the lever easier to pull, but also helps when downshifting aggressively.
03:10Brakes, weight, and value. For the first time, the Tracer 7 GT now features radio brakes,
03:17which provide better feel and stopping power. Yamaha decided not to go with their ultralight
03:22spin-forged wheels, saying they were too lightweight for the GT's touring duties. Fair enough.
03:28At 212kg wet, it's still a very manageable bike. Not too heavy, not too light. And when you look at
03:36everything you're getting for the price, 10,104 pounds, it's honestly a bargain. You get serious
03:43touring capability, solid tech, and that bulletproof CP2 engine all in one package. Final thoughts.
03:51The 2025 Yamaha Tracer 7 GT doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. Instead, it focuses on refining what
04:00already worked. It's now more comfortable, more capable, and more tech-savvy than ever. Whether
04:06you're a commuter looking for something versatile, or a weekend warrior who loves long rides, the Tracer
04:127 GT checks almost every box. It's a do-it-all machine that keeps things simple, and sometimes,
04:18that's exactly what riders want. Fun, practical, and stylish, the 2025 Tracer 7 GT continues to prove
04:27that you don't need to go big to go far.
