Yamaha Tracer 900 2016

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.

Sporty performance like all MT-09

3 riding modes

ABS and traction control as standard

taut chassis, plenty of lean angle clearance

Wind protection not optimal

seat could be more comfortable

handlebars too wide for the city

The successor to the successful Varadero has been long awaited, and now it is finally here. The Honda engineers seem to have packed everything that was available in terms of high-tech into the top model: dual-clutch transmission, combined ABS and traction control.

Pleasant ride

useful electronics

great engine

powerful brakes

ABS

strong engine.

High weight

rocking effect of the gimbal

sluggish traction point

low, difficult to adjust windshield.
