Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Tracer 900 2016

Take two, pay one. With the MT-09 Tracer, you get almost a whole MT-09 with all its sportiness plus a touring bike that is suitable for everyday use and to some extent suitable for travelling, with decent comfort for all situations. Just remember that there are many more comfortable bikes in this category - but hardly any sportier ones. Easier to ride, easier to control with 3 riding modes, ABS and traction control as standard. Only the wind protection could be better and the seat for long distances can only be found in the accessories.

Sporty performance like all MT-09

3 riding modes

ABS and traction control as standard

taut chassis, plenty of lean angle clearance

Wind protection not optimal

seat could be more comfortable

handlebars too wide for the city

Honda VFR800X Crossrunner 2014

Some things you can just bet on with Honda: A high-quality, clean finish, clear and simple operation, comfortable ergonomics, strong brakes, a high safety standard...only the suspension of the Crossrunner (factory setting) allowed itself to be rocked by some harder impacts and only calmed down slowly. For such a sporty motorbike, which is otherwise very solid, this is a disturbing weakness. The generous basic equipment makes up for this shortcoming and justifies the price of EUR 13,790 (Austria).

Extensive standard equipment

ABS and traction control

large fuel tank

strong character engine

adjustable seat.

low standard seat height

chassis mediocre
