Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Tracer 7 2022

If you are looking for a motorbike under 10,000 euros with an excellent engine, cool looks and comfort, the Yamaha Tracer 7 is the right choice. The low weight and adjustable chassis make the Tracer 700 a real cornering machine. Purists will be pleased to know that, apart from ABS, there are no electronic aids, but when you look at the competition, this no longer seems quite state-of-the-art.

powerful engine

agile handling

adjustable chassis

comfortable ergonomics

cool look

large selection of accessories

Load change at low revs

weak brake

hardly any electronics

little wind protection compared to the competition.

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports 2020

The Africa Twin is a true Enduro with tough handling qualities. It looks robust and is well equipped for almost any application. The engine is good, but won't blow adrenaline junkies away. The wind protection is great, but too good in summer. Components and attachments are of a high standard. The overall build quality is superior and the mobile phone integration is a great solution. Even after many test rides, the switches still seem illogical and confusing. In direct comparison, it somehow floats above things. It simply drives confidently and well, but cannot shine with spectacular values.

Very good chassis - both mechanical and electronic

DCT option makes it a superior touring bike

high quality and practical electronic ride aids

fundamentally good wind protection

high quality overall impression

flawless engine with great response and linear torque curve

accessible handling

very pleasant ride

wonderfully versatile bike.

Wind protection too good in the heat - even the lowest position of the wind shield hardly lets any wind through

operation via the numerous switches seems complex overall even after 2 days of testing

seat seems a bit too soft after a long day.
