Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Tracer 7 2025

The new Tracer 7 impresses with its harmoniously tuned CP2 engine and playful, easy handling. Sit on it, ride off and explore the world - that's the Tracer 7. The new chassis, more electronics and suspension do it good. We miss the quickshifter, which is only available as an option for an extra charge; Y-AMT will not be available until 2026.

Torque-orientated engine

agile handling

improved chassis including suspension

comfortable ergonomics

pleasing appearance

cruise control as standard

now with traction control and various riding modes

adjustable windscreen by 60 Millimetres

seat height adjustable by 20 Millimetres without tools

LED lighting

Garmin navigation included free of charge

Little wind protection compared to the competition

Quickshifter for both variants only at extra cost

Y-AMT not yet available at launch (planned from 2026)

prices have risen noticeably

BMW F 900 GS 2024

The F 900 GS feels completely different to its direct predecessor, the F 850 GS. Instead of a sedate all-rounder, with the Enduro Pro package it has become an agile adventure bike with considerable off-road capabilities. Uncomplicated yet powerful, it can be ridden on and off the beaten track. However, it only really comes into its own with a few accessories. The Enduro Pro package and Dynamic package are almost mandatory purchases, which also pushes the price up. All in all, a remarkable reorientation of BMW's in-line two-cylinder enduro bike.

Linear, fun motor

Suitably dimensioned brakes

Super responsive, optional suspension

Optional enduro bike pro mode offers versatile configuration options

Successful ergonomics for seated and standing riding

Pleasant handling

Good quickshifter

Sophisticated off-road solutions, such as folding foot brake lever riser

Accessible, comfortable and cool - a great combination

Wind protection could be better

Only tubeless rims available

Standard suspension not good enough off-road

Engine runs a bit raw and louder than comparable competitors
