Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Tracer 700 2016

The Yamaha Tracer 700 is clearly more mature than the other MT-07 models. It seems bigger and a little more ponderous, but also more complete and confident. It's a really good touring bike that doesn't leave you wanting for anything.

Perfectly dimensioned

good wind protection and ride comfort

easy to handle

Relatively long legs required

average brake

Suzuki V-Strom 650 2009

In principle, you can do anything with a V-Strom. It is, for example, a faithful hack'n moped that reliably gets you to work day after day. But it's also a weekend bike that you can take to the Kalte Kuchl or the Soboth on a Sunday. And of course, the V-Strom is particularly well suited for extended tours and trips.

Good-natured chassis

relaxed seating position

relatively powerful engine

aggressive exhaust trim

handguards

relaxed riding feel.

Not a really sophisticated look

windscreen a little too small.
