Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE 2019

The Triumph is primarily a scrambler motorbike. And such a good one, in fact, that this wonderfully unreasonable and brutal fun machine can also be chased into difficult terrain. It reminds us why we love motorbikes: it provides great moments in the saddle, but also has practical disadvantages. Because off-road it is a mighty iron and can easily keep up with touring enduros, if not outdo them. With the lack of a windshield and limited space for luggage, it naturally loses out in terms of touring suitability. All in all, a fascinating motorbike that attracts a lot of attention.

beautiful exterior

high-quality components

great chassis

powerful, high-torque engine

works very well off-road

Limited touring suitability

very high, can be problematic for smaller pilots

somewhat tippy turn-in behaviour

right leg burns possible due to high-mounted exhaust.

Yamaha XSR900 GP 2024

Credible styling in the style of the 500 GP machines from around 1990 meets state-of-the-art components from the CP3 modular system. For the suspension components, Yamaha used high-quality, fully adjustable parts from KYB. The fork is the same as that used in the MT-09 SP. The sporty basic set-up is perfectly suited to this pretty retro racer. The standard electronic features are also impressive. All riding aids are lean angle-dependent, the quickshifter works first-class and there is even cruise control on board. If you can cope with the sporty riding position, you can enjoy a dream bike. Apart from the brakes, which could have a little more bite, we have no real criticism to make.
