Yamaha Tracer 900 2015
Take two, pay one. With the MT-09 Tracer, you get almost a whole MT-09 with all its sportiness plus a touring bike that is suitable for everyday use and to some extent suitable for travelling, with decent comfort for all situations. Just remember that there are many more comfortable bikes in this category - but hardly any sportier ones. Easier to ride, easier to control with 3 riding modes, ABS and traction control as standard. Only the wind protection could be better and the seat for long distances can only be found in the accessories.
Triumph Tiger 800 XRx 2015
The Tiger 800 XRx is an absolutely faithful companion on all paths - and off-roads. The close relationship to its sister Tiger 800 XCx gives it a very robust and off-road capable chassis, the engine pulls up smoothly even from far below and therefore does not cause any stress even at walking pace. The XRx is designed more for road use only with the smaller 19 inch tyres at the front and 17 inch tyres at the rear. I didn't ride it as the only tester over the season, which means that several pilots used it in different ways and therefore also challenged it. That is basically quite a challenge, because the driving style of each individual rider is different. And that's where it showed again that the Triumph Tiger 800 XRx is an excellent all-rounder.
