Tested on varied roads near Porto, Portugal, the 2025 Yamaha Tracer 7 and Tracer 7 GT showcase a major step forward for Yamaha’s entry-level sport-touring platform. Both models feature the updated CP2 engine with ride-by-wire, multiple rider modes, and traction control, but it’s the GT that truly impresses. With upgraded suspension, a more comfortable seat, a larger adjustable screen, and factory panniers, the GT delivers confidence, stability, and surprising agility despite a longer wheelbase. The fueling is smooth, the handling is natural and forgiving, and the suspension is far more refined than previous Yamaha middleweights. While panniers are wide and a quickshifter is optional, the Tracer 7 GT stands out as a fun, agile, and comfortable sport tourer at an accessible price point—ideal for new riders stepping up or those looking for an affordable, versatile touring machine.
