Pros and Cons in comparison
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.
Kawasaki Versys 1000 2017
The Kawasaki Versys 1000 is not a completely new model - even if it looks like one from the design point of view. The look has been cleverly adapted to the current aggressive Kawasaki line with two pointed headlights and many edges at the front. Technically, on the other hand, it has been cautiously upgraded - but quite sensibly. Two additional horsepower boost the output to 120 hp, which is excellent to ride thanks to the wonderful in-line four-cylinder characteristics. The chassis corresponds to the sporty demands of a Kawasaki, but the ergonomics and comfortable seating position allow for long journeys - just like a big enduro. With useful accessories such as a pannier set, top case, heated grips and additional headlights, the Versys 1000 becomes a serious long-distance tourer - the comparatively low base price makes these gimmicks quite affordable.
