Positioned in Yamaha's atv motorcycle lineup, the 2019 Yamaha YFM700R utilizes a 686 cc (41.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 45 HP (32.8 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 46 Nm (33.9 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 65.6 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the YFM700R measures 192 kg (423 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.23 HP/kg (4.27 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
