Title: Yamaha MT-07 Tracer
Post by: yamaha fj rider on July 07, 2016, 08:34:48 AM
The MT-09 Tracer is the FJ-09 in the USA. Will Yamaha bring the MT-07 Tracer to the USA? Will we see a FJ-07 for 2017?

I think the base platform that Yamaha has designed, MT-07/FZ-07, MT-09/FJ-09 has exceeded Yamaha's expectations. The platform now is looking at the FJ-07 and MT-07 Ténéré, there is also the Scramble style triple whose model name escapes me at the moment.

Yamaha has found the ticket in the middle weight line up that the other manufacturers have been ignoring. It would not surprise me to see the 1000cc ATV triple cylinder installed in a motorcycle frame and make a FJ-10
