Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ 2024

The Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ impresses as a modern crossover bike with innovative technology, a powerful three-cylinder engine and a high level of riding comfort. It is aimed at riders who value riding pleasure, advanced Rider Assistance Systems and touring suitability. Minor weaknesses in the operating concept and a high price tarnish the overall picture slightly, without detracting from the positive overall impression.

Fun, revvy engine

Agile handling

Top quickshifter

Practical touring features

Well-functioning adaptive cruise control, which is a pleasure to use in practice

Huge, easy-to-read TFT display

Good operation of the electronics.

Vibrations on the footrests

very cumbersome navi integration into the display

filigree-looking windscreen that wobbles noticeably at high speeds

three-cylinder sound sometimes too intrusive for sensitive riders

BMW R 1200 RS 2017

Wunderlich has optimised the already great R 1200 RS with pinpoint accuracy and turned it into a real dream machine. The straight handlebars fit the sports tourer really well. The bike's sporty look is justified. Anyone who tries this Wunderlich machine sets the bar incredibly high for their next motorbike. A real dream bike.

Precise and stable handling

comfortable seating position

great wind protection

with the Wunderlich conversion, a very sporty and sleek look overall.
