Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha Tracer 900 GT 2019
Yamaha's sporty all-purpose weapon has been further improved. It is the perfect bike for all those for whom the naked MT-09 is too spartanly designed for sporty country road riding. Thanks to the longer swingarm as well as better aerodynamics, the high-speed problems that the predecessor had to contend with have now been largely eliminated. The premium version in the form of the Tracer 900 GT goes one better and can also convince with great comfort features.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2019
The 1290 Super Adventure R is supposed to be the new off-road flagship of the KTM Adventure range - and it is! It's amazing how easy it is to move 240 kilos off-road with a full tank. The off-road mode is also largely convincing. On the other hand, as on the 1290 Super Adventure S, the full 160 hp and 140 Newton metres of torque as well as all comfort features (apart from the electronically adjustable suspension) are available on the R version: Four performance modes (Sport, Street, Rain and Offroad), cornering ABS, traction control, cruise control, keyless race-on system and the mobile phone management "My Ride". This means that the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R actually combines four motorbikes in one - and thus justifies the proud price.
