Engineered by Yamaha for the sport touring motorcycle segment, the 2021 Yamaha Tracer 7 GT pairs a 689 cc (42 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 72.4 HP (52.9 kW) at 8,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 68 Nm (50.2 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 105.1 HP per liter and a 2,250 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,750 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Tracer 7 GT measures 196 kg (432 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.37 HP/kg (2.71 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 840 mm (33.1 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,460 mm (57.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.3 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 395 km (245 miles) between fill-ups.
