Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 1200 RT 2018
It was predictable that the new R 1200 RT would perform even better with the new partially water-cooled boxer engine. Although 125 hp and 125 Newton metres of torque have quite a bit to haul with the 274 kilos ready to ride, the RT retains its unbelievable effervescence from below. This makes it extremely agile, especially on corner exit after a hairpin bend. In combination with the gearshift assistant Pro (which is, of course, available at extra cost), the gears just flow and you involuntarily move more sportily than you might have intended. The big bonus points of the R 1200 RT are its good workmanship, the simple and easy-to-follow operating principle and, last but not least, its small turning circle.
Yamaha Tracer 9 GT 2023
The Yamaha Tracer 9 GT with its inline three is extremely agile and sporty to ride, the 119 hp already behave extremely potent in the naked bike derivative Yamaha MT-09, on the touring Tracer 9 GT hardly less. Of course, the engineers in Japan are no beginners when it comes to touring qualities, and the Tracer 9 GT spoils you with comfort thanks to the electronically adjustable chassis and a very comfortable riding position including good weather protection. All in all, it is still quite a touring sportswoman. The look is unique, only the split mini-displays are a matter of taste.
