Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Tracer 900 2020

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.

Powerful engine

Successful revision of the chassis

Riding pleasure guaranteed

Better stability than the predecessor

Successful revision of the aerodynamics

Comfort gain for pillion passenger

Pillion seat rest system restricts freedom of movement

display looks outdated

ABS and traction control only at basic level

Honda NX500 2024

The Honda NX500 is a versatile A2 adventure bike that is particularly at home on tarmac and can offer a lot from everyday riding to relaxed touring. It has no major shortcomings, while at the same time offering many strengths, albeit not spectacular ones. On long journeys, the relaxed riding position and the good suspension, which also performs well on winding roads in combination with the improved brakes, are a delight. Pragmatists can look forward to low fuel consumption and a high range, and it can even cope with light off-roads.

Finely controllable, good-natured engine with linear power delivery

Good brakes

Good, well-balanced suspension

Comfortable seating position

High range

Agile handling

Never overtaxes the rider, but allows riding pleasure

Traction control can be easily deactivated

Transmission shifts very cleanly

Limited off-road capability

ABS not disengageable

somewhat low power and payload (185 kg) for riding with a pillion passenger
