Pros and Cons in comparison

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

Yamaha Tracer 700 2016

The Yamaha Tracer 700 is clearly more mature than the other MT-07 models. It seems bigger and a little more ponderous, but also more complete and confident. It's a really good touring bike that doesn't leave you wanting for anything.

Perfectly dimensioned

good wind protection and ride comfort

easy to handle

Relatively long legs required
