Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1200 GS 2010

A GS Adventure has practically everything you need for the big trip. But firstly, Touratech manufactures some parts for BMW anyway and secondly, it doesn't stop with the optional extras offered by the Bavarians.

Sporty look

well equipped

enough storage space

The technology of the conversion takes some getting used to

Yamaha Tracer 9 GT 2023

The Yamaha Tracer 9 GT with its inline three is extremely agile and sporty to ride, the 119 hp already behave extremely potent in the naked bike derivative Yamaha MT-09, on the touring Tracer 9 GT hardly less. Of course, the engineers in Japan are no beginners when it comes to touring qualities, and the Tracer 9 GT spoils you with comfort thanks to the electronically adjustable chassis and a very comfortable riding position including good weather protection. All in all, it is still quite a touring sportswoman. The look is unique, only the split mini-displays are a matter of taste.

Powerful engine with great tuning

light and stable handling

electronically adjustable chassis

comprehensive electronics package

good wind protection
