Built around Yamaha's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2017 Yamaha Tracer 700 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 73.8 HP (53.8 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 68 Nm (50.2 lb-ft) at 6,930 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 107.1 HP per liter and a 2,070 rpm working window between peak torque (6,930 rpm) and peak power (9,000 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 700 measures 196 kg (432 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.38 HP/kg (2.66 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 835 mm (32.9 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,450 mm (57.1 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.
