Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha Tracer 700 2016

The Yamaha Tracer 700 is clearly more mature than the other MT-07 models. It seems bigger and a little more ponderous, but also more complete and confident. It's a really good touring bike that doesn't leave you wanting for anything.
Kawasaki Ninja 650 2025

Judging the Kawasaki Ninja 650 purely on paper does not do justice to its potential. The engine is clearly not an engine bursting with power for the race track, but an agile but well-behaved journeyman. The sports tourer with supersport looks does exactly what it is supposed to do and presents itself as a real alternative in its class with its appropriate electronics package including traction control. Hobby racers should be warned, however, that the Ninja in the name still fuels a certain sporty expectation that a Ninja 650 cannot fully fulfil.
