Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ 2024

The Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ impresses as a modern crossover bike with innovative technology, a powerful three-cylinder engine and a high level of riding comfort. It is aimed at riders who value riding pleasure, advanced Rider Assistance Systems and touring suitability. Minor weaknesses in the operating concept and a high price tarnish the overall picture slightly, without detracting from the positive overall impression.

Fun, revvy engine

Agile handling

Top quickshifter

Practical touring features

Well-functioning adaptive cruise control, which is a pleasure to use in practice

Huge, easy-to-read TFT display

Good operation of the electronics.

Vibrations on the footrests

very cumbersome navi integration into the display

filigree-looking windscreen that wobbles noticeably at high speeds

three-cylinder sound sometimes too intrusive for sensitive riders

Suzuki V-Strom 1050DE 2024

With the revision and expansion of the 1050 range to include the DE model, Suzuki now has the right large V-Strom for everyone. Those who know from the outset that they will be staying almost exclusively on the road will find a reliable travelling companion in the standard model, but those who are less restricted in their choice of routes and also want to ride regularly on unpaved terrain will now find a good choice in the DE. The machine looks robust, is easy to ride and offers a high level of long-distance comfort. The weight is too high for very serious off-road use and the travel is too short. However, as with the standard model, the main selling point remains the marvellous engine, which leaves little to be desired with its rich torque.
