Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ 2023

It's unbelievable how wide the range of this motorbike is. When needed, it looks like a cheeky sports machine with which one likes to scrape the footrests. On the other hand, it glides confidently along the motorway. The Tracer 9GT+ is a great all-rounder!

Fun, rev-happy engine

Agile handling

Top quickshifter

Practical touring equipment

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 navigation integration into the display

filigree-looking windshield that wobbles noticeably at high speeds.

Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE 2022

The Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE is more than equipped for the big journey: The many features pull together, because everything good about the SE is aimed at comfort and safety. Whether it's the semi-active electronic Skyhook suspension from Showa, the KIBS cornering ABS, the Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KMCF), the cornering lights or the easy-to-read TFT colour display, the electronics leave nothing to be desired. Coupled with the comfortable seating position and the high, adjustable windshield, long stages are a pleasure. The engine is certainly not the most powerful, the weight certainly not the lowest, but overall the Versys 1000 SE is an optimal touring motorbike.
