Pros and Cons in comparison

Indian FTR Rally 2023

Just like the very first FTR 1200, the Indian FTR Rally is a deceptive package that you shouldn't be angry with because it reaches its limits very early on in off-road terrain despite off-road tyres. Instead, you can be pleased that this naked bike is surprisingly comfortable and convenient with good performance in terms of handling and braking. This means that the FTR Rally perfectly embodies the scrambler concept. The powerful V2 engine helps it to be labelled a power scrambler. The weaknesses in the display and the small tank volume fall into the category of acceptable shortcomings, which should not put you off buying it.

Powerful V2 engine with lots of charisma and plenty of power

easy handling despite high weight

unique concept

independent look

complete equipment

good brakes

comfortable riding position

Only 13 litre tank capacity

quickshifter not even available as an accessory

too long start sequence of the electronics on the display

high price

Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ 2023

It's unbelievable how wide the range of this motorbike is. When needed, it looks like a cheeky sports machine with which one likes to scrape the footrests. On the other hand, it glides confidently along the motorway. The Tracer 9GT+ is a great all-rounder!

Fun, rev-happy engine

Agile handling

Top quickshifter

Practical touring equipment

Well-functioning adaptive cruise control, which is a pleasure to use in practice

Huge, easy-to-read TFT display

Good operation of the electronics.

Vibrations on the footrests

very cumbersome navigation integration into the display

filigree-looking windshield that wobbles noticeably at high speeds.
