Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Speed Triple R 2017
Like its predecessor, the Speed Triple R delights with its high-quality, sensitively responding Öhlins suspension and its stunning looks. The design remains true to its line - which can only please the many fans. The engine's braking and responsiveness can hardly be complained about, but the lack of power on the competition and the somewhat sluggish handling can certainly be forgiven, after all, the Speed Triple is a classic with history and the design is legendary - which is much more important to true fans than the one or two extra horsepower.
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.
