Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z900 RS 2021

A timelessly beautiful motorbike, the Z 900 RS. Its heart, the powerful and silky-smooth four-cylinder, ensures absolute riding pleasure. Even for longer rides, it offers plenty of comfort thanks to its pleasant seating position, well-padded saddle and high, wide handlebars. For those who like retro motorbikes but appreciate modern handling, the Z1 Homage is a very good choice.

authentic, beautiful retro look

very comfortable seating position

easy and comfortable to ride

no quickshifter and no driving modes (but TC adjustable)

Yamaha Tracer 9 2021

Absolutely recommended for riders who like sporty riding but also don't want to forego the advantages of a touring vehicle. Whether GT or standard version is a question of taste: if you like to accelerate, mainly ride on good roads and are comfortable with a firm chassis, the standard Tracer 9 will serve you very well. Those who would like to have a bit of comfort on top and also ride longer tours from time to time will appreciate the comfort and additional equipment of the GT.
