Yamaha Tracer 900 GT 2018

Yamaha Tracer 900 GT 2018

Yamaha's sporty all-purpose weapon has been further improved. It is the perfect bike for all those for whom the naked MT-09 is too spartanly designed for sporty country road riding. Thanks to the longer swingarm and better aerodynamics, the 2018 model also largely eliminates the high-speed problems that its predecessor had to contend with. The premium version in the form of the Tracer 900 GT goes one better and can also convince with great comfort features.

Top chassis

Driving pleasure guaranteed

Better stability than the predecessor

Successful revision of the aerodynamics

Comfort gain for pillion passenger

Cruise control

Heated grips

Passenger rest system restricts freedom of movement

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2019

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2019

The new Africa Twin has come exactly as fans expected: Well controllable, unagitated and a wonderful travelling companion. The fact that it also looks extremely good was a pleasant bonus. So there is no reason to fundamentally change the Africa Twin, what was good remains good on the new one - and much has been improved. Thanks to Ride by Wire, you can now also enjoy performance modes on the Africa Twin, and the traction control can be adjusted 7-fold (instead of 3-fold previously) and switched off. The optional DCT is still a big hit and a lot of fun, but it also costs a lot.
