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

Either it was a stroke of luck or the best developers were at work - handlebars, geometry, seat, knee angle, footrests - it just fits really well for the majority of Central Europeans. All in all, there is still no motorbike that can kill the GS.

Optimal wind protection

comfortable seat

good posture

positive ergonomics

weather robust

quiet chassis.

Seat a little too low.
