Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Tracer 900 GT 2019

Yamaha's sporty all-purpose weapon has been further improved. It is the perfect bike for all those for whom the naked MT-09 is too spartanly designed for sporty country road riding. Thanks to the longer swingarm as well as better aerodynamics, the high-speed problems that the predecessor had to contend with have now been largely eliminated. The premium version in the form of the Tracer 900 GT goes one better and can also convince with great comfort features.

Powerful engine

top chassis

guaranteed riding fun

better stability than the predecessor

successful revision of the aerodynamics

increased comfort for pillion passenger

cruise control

heated grips

automatic gearshift

attractive TFT colour display.

Pillion footrest system restricts freedom of movement

ABS and traction control only at basic level

Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer 2023

The Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer is a typical premium touring enduro, with very comprehensive equipment and real long-distance qualities. With regard to the competition, it may lack a bit of a unique selling point and also has some minor shortcomings, but no other big enduro offers such a good price-performance ratio. Buy it, put it on and ride off is the motto. The GT Explorer doesn't need dozens of ticks in the accessories catalogue, everything you need is already there.

Silky, yet powerful engine

Semi-active chassis with wide adjustment range

Excellent brakes

Comfortable ergonomics

Extensive equipment with many comfort features from standard.

Quite limited lean angle clearance

High-frequency vibrations at cruising speed

Slightly sluggish turn-in behaviour with standard tyres
