Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 850 GS 2021

BMW F 850 GS 2021

The BMW F 850 GS also scores points in 2022 with its pleasant ergonomics and accessible character. Operation is easy and you quickly feel comfortable on the motorbike. The longer the tour, the more you miss the finesse in the details. The damping of the fork is too lax and not adjustable. The engine gets a bit boring in the long run, and the gearstick and quickshifter are always stiff. In direct comparison with other touring enduros, it is always somewhat overshadowed by more exciting models.

Good wind and weather protection

well thought-out operating concept

practical equipment

very accessible operation and driveability in everyday use

Vibrations in the upper rev range

boring engine

stiff quickshifter gearstick

Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ 2023

It's unbelievable how wide the range of this motorbike is. When needed, it looks like a cheeky sports machine with which one likes to scrape the footrests. On the other hand, it glides confidently along the motorway. The Tracer 9GT+ is a great all-rounder!

Fun, rev-happy engine

Agile handling

Top quickshifter

Practical touring equipment

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 navigation integration into the display

filigree-looking windshield that wobbles noticeably at high speeds.
