Triumph have made a triple. Trident 660. 2021 Triumph Trident 660 | First Look Review | Rider Magazine The 2021 Triumph Trident 660 has arrived! The all-new triple-cylinder...

every body is different. with our country roads being narrow and to many other vehicles,push bikers not to mention caravans. this 700 is ideal. but the Europeans have been crying to Yamaha to make a sport version and they have. to be truthful its not all about power its the usability. 60 mph bend is still 60 mph whether your on a gixer or a twin. on smaller bikes you carry more speed into the corner.on tight twisties litre bikes have no advantage. if every body like the same thing it would be a boring world. me personally I like the old style sit up and beg posture whether fully naked or semi.

looks nice not that I'll be getting one. I dont bend so easy these day. specs... 2022 Yamaha YZF-R7 SpecsBase price: $ 8,999website: yamahamotorsports.comEngine type: Liquid-cooled, horizontally parallel 2-cylinder, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder.Bore x Stroke: 80.0 x 68.6mmDisplacement: 689ccTransmission: 6-speed, cable-operated assist & slipper wet clutchFinal drive: chainWheelbase: 54.9 inchesRake / Trail: 23.4 degrees / 3.5 inchesSeat height: 31.7 inchesWet weight: 414 lbs.

would be interested if Yamaha did bring the xsr300 to the UK. looking at the shape of the tank it could be converted to a LC look a like. then again there's two version on this model. the other look similar to the xsr700. with nearly 40 bhp and 30 torque. plenty fast enough well for me anyway.

5'11 . 31" inside leg. not so much how tall you are its the inside leg that's matters.I have a friend who is 6ft tall but 30" inside leg and he rides the MT07. but not seen him for over a year with all this lock down we have or had. Honda did the same with the NC750 only sell the X model when most want the 'S' model. doesn't make sense does it. I'm sure the tracer 700 would sell well after all the MT07 are good sellers.

I knew it wouldn't belong before some numpty make a negative comment. nice blue but the 700 looks more ridiculous ,really well over half a million sold world wide so yes its ridiculous .

I've had one before the tracer 900 so I have a good idea what they're like.lol

I'm surprise theres no tracer 700 in the USA ,they are very popular in Europe.MT07 is in the US. nice looking bike.

I'll stay on here if thats ok with you folks. I came off last year amongst other things. I fancy getting a XSR700 and get it similar to the LC look.wrong shape tank I know. wont be for a couple years yet.

sold my Tracer 900 last year the reason as for follows sorry if this upset some but this is just my opinion. the engine is a peach but for annoying whine at around 58-67 mph. even wearing ear plugs doesn't help. must admit getting to old now for fast riding and if I fall I wont mend to easily.even put a bigger front sprocket to see if it'll move it up the rev range made no different. behind the dash it difficult to keep clean in other words its just a mess. Yamaha could of tidied it up like on the tracer 700. the seat is like a plank! could only last 30 miles before numb bum creeps in. didn't like the clock(dash) it would either work or it didn't such a faff on getting things set like zero miles before setting off. never did like the dummy air scoop. it just top heavy while trying to maneuver on our country roads. can't lower because the sump is low to start with. hard her about a year and a half and only lost £700 so not to bad. with that I bought another Tracer 700 and found that much better for my liking and riding two up is fine. this is what she looks like before I sold her and my new bike matt blue.

I had one traded it in for the 900. they're good bikes but fancy something different.

after much thought and careful deliberation I've decided to sell my tracer at the end of August. I've done just over 5,000 miles since purchase.and finding she's getting a little to heavy for me. mainly top end. a couple of times I nearly dropped her just pushing her out of the garage. road camber doesn't help either while trying to maneuver to turn round to face the other way etc.got to admit she's a tall bike. I'm now considering in getting an MT09 or the NC750s dct. yes I know big difference. firstly I like the look of the bug eyed model but not sure if its suitable for carrying a pillion or touring.there are things I could do to improve the ride for my wife. seat is like a plank,so will need reupholstering. pillion hangers will need to change for the tracer and lastly chocks. dont know if this forum covers the MT09

I had a even bigger topbox on that and it held up.

the tracer hold 18 ltrs max not 19 plus.
