Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 1200 GS 2008
If you're a bit indecisive when buying a motorbike, and would prefer to have an egg-laying pillow, the 1200 is the best choice. In addition, the 1200 is the only true GS, namely the GS with a boxer engine and cardan drive.
Yamaha Tracer 700 2019
The fact that the Yamaha MT-07 is the main parts donor for the Tracer 700 becomes apparent at the latest when you first open the throttle: the powerful parallel twin-cylinder engine exudes agility and a tremendous amount of riding fun. This makes it easy to live with on a touring enduro, which is a good match for longer distances. The chassis could be a little more precise and the windshield could be a little higher, but overall the Tracer 700 is the ultimate fun bike in its class - a lot of fun for comparatively little money.
