Pros and Cons in comparison

Husqvarna Norden 901 2022

During the test in the USA, the Husqvarna was exposed to probably the toughest test conditions. The tour led through deserts, up high mountains and through scorching hot valleys. Highways as well as hectic city traffic had to be negotiated. In the end, the Norden 901 proved to be a likeable, reliable and thoroughly successful adventure motorbike that is a pleasure to travel with.

Great engine with high practicality

Great engine response

Linear rev range

Hardly any vibrations in the saddle

High-quality electronics package

High level of travel comfort

Pleasantly tuned chassis

Accessible but at the same time exciting character

Reliable even on long tours

Unpleasant heat development in the calf area at low speeds

Unsteady engine running after cold start

Low flywheel mass, keeps dying off

Yamaha Tracer 9 2021

Absolutely recommended for riders who like sporty riding but also don't want to forego the advantages of a touring vehicle. Whether GT or standard version is a question of taste: if you like to accelerate, mainly ride on good roads and are comfortable with a firm chassis, the standard Tracer 9 will serve you very well. Those who would like to have a bit of comfort on top and also ride longer tours from time to time will appreciate the comfort and additional equipment of the GT.
