Follow The Tracer
Australian Road Rider
|August 2017
We welcome yet another long-term tester to the ARR fleet. This time, it’s the new Yamaha Tracer 700
Someone at Yamaha had a really good idea when the new 700 Tracer arrived here in Australia. In fact, they had two really good ideas, but we’ll come to that. First, they decided to “Australianise” the LAMS-legal sports tourer and make it more of a dual-purpose adventure bike. There’s a lot of tarmac in this country but there’s a whole lot more dirt and making the bike suitable for both seems like the right thing to do. It’ll likely open up another section of the market that the standard version doesn’t really cater for as well.

When it comes to bike luggage, my preference is usually a set of soft saddle bags; you can throw them on and off easily, and they make sense whether you’re packing for a day trip or a months-long adventure.

Keeping Girls On Motorcycles
On any given weekend at your local motorcycle club, you will see throngs of kids blasting around on dirt bikes having a great time. More often than not, it’s at these local club tracks where kids are introduced to motorbikes. Boys and girls (under 10 years old) get out there and simply enjoy riding their bike without too much competition. Not many of the kids or parents care where they finish in the pack — it’s just about having fun.
