Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Tracer 900 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 and better aerodynamics, the 2018 model also largely eliminates the high-speed problems that its predecessor had to contend with. The premium version in the form of the Tracer 900 GT goes one better and can also convince with great comfort features.

Powerful engine

Successful revision of the chassis

Riding pleasure guaranteed

Better stability than the predecessor

Successful revision of the aerodynamics

Comfort gain for pillion passenger

Pillion seat rest system restricts freedom of movement

display looks outdated

ABS and traction control only at basic level

Honda VFR1200X Crosstourer 2012

The successor to the successful Varadero has been long awaited, and now it is finally here. The Honda engineers seem to have packed everything that was available in terms of high-tech into the top model: dual-clutch transmission, combined ABS and traction control.

Pleasant ride
