Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Tracer 9 GT 2021

Yamaha impressively proves how wonderfully emotional a practical motorbike can be. Again and again you laugh mischievously into your helmet when you let the husky three-cylinder off the leash. An all-round successful motorbike that can replace half a motorbike garage. Unfortunately, the attempt with the unconventional display was a failure. It is impractical and difficult to read.

GT variant with great standard equipment

powerful and powerful engine with great tuning

easy handling

stable ride

comprehensive electronics package

great e-chassis

good wind protection

great pillion comfort

long range

Poorly readable and illogical display

stationary noise >95 dB (96 dB)

somewhat rough clutch

moderate responsiveness

Suzuki GSX-S1000 2018

The GSX-S 1000 from Suzuki looks sexy, has a powerful sound and really smart hardware. It rides stably, easily and is also fun to ride on tours. If necessary, the engine smokes up violently. But it can also be moved mildly. Compared to the finest Powernakeds, it lacks individual features, but anyone who looks at the price tag will quickly realise: A great choice!

Stable handling inspires confidence

Wonderfully sporty engine

Sexy look and sexy sound

Pleasant riding comfort in the saddle

Rides dynamically but also calmly and serenely - just the way you like it.

A little jerky when changing from push to load

a quickshifter with blipper would be incredibly good for it.
