Yamaha Tracer 900 2017
Take two, pay one. With the MT-09 Tracer, you get almost a whole MT-09 with all its sportiness plus a touring bike that is suitable for everyday use and to some extent suitable for travelling, with decent comfort for all situations. Just remember that there are many more comfortable bikes in this category - but hardly any sportier ones. Easier to ride, easier to control with 3 riding modes, ABS and traction control as standard. Only the wind protection could be better and the seat for long distances can only be found in the accessories.
Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE 2019
The Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE is more than equipped for the big journey: The many features pull together, because everything good about the SE is aimed at comfort and safety. Whether it's the semi-active electronic Skyhook suspension from Showa, the KIBS cornering ABS, the Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KMCF), the cornering lights or the easy-to-read TFT colour display, the electronics leave nothing to be desired. Coupled with the comfortable seating position and the high, adjustable windshield, long stages are a pleasure. The engine is certainly not the most powerful, the weight certainly not the lowest, but overall the Versys 1000 SE is an optimal touring motorbike.
