Pros and Cons in comparison

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.

Kawasaki Z 400 2019

The Kawasaki Z400 is definitely a great evolution of its predecessor, the Z300. More power, less weight - all around, simply an even better bike. Above all, the linear power delivery and excellent handling make the Z400 an ideal entry-level bike. The ease of clutch operation and good chassis set-up are also in this vein, which is why the Z400 can be recommended to novice riders without hesitation.

Low weight

Good seating position

Great sound

Very suitable for novice riders.
