Ahead of the opening of the EICMA show in Milan,
Italy, photos and video have emerged of the 2020 Yamaha Tracer 700.
Changes that can be seen on this new Tracer is the
LED headlights, with a LED DRL brow and LED projector lights for main and high
beam. The wind deflector is now more aerodynamic and is adjustable using one
hand.
The 689 cc, two-cylinder, Crossplane CP2 mill is
carried over from the previous generation Tracer 700 but changes have been made
to the fuel delivery, ignition, exhaust and gear ratios and the engine is now
Euro 5 compliant. Yamaha claims the power numbers for the Tracer 700 are 72.4
PS at 8,750 rpm and 68 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm.
With a weight of 196 kg, the Tracer 700 is said to
be the lightest in its class and comfort has been improved with revisions to
both the rider and passenger seat. Fuel tank capacity remains the same at
17-litres.
Other changes to the 2020 Yamaha Tracer 700 include
the front fork that now comes with 130 mm of travel as well as the monoshock
