Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1200 RT 2009

The S-class among motorbikes. You want to tour and travel in a relaxed manner, ideally with company, sufficient luggage stowed in the sophisticated, easy-to-use pannier systems. There are not many motorbikes on which women like to ride in the back, but the RT is one of them.

Luxurious

integrated electronics

efficient windshield

comfortable ride

spacious pannier system

quite heavy at 300kg

proud price

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
