Conclusion - forever young
It is, of course, a toy, one for older children who want to (and can) spend at least 17,290 euros on their gift. Hear my words: Every penny of it is well invested!
Before I forget it: I have now studied the data sheet. The Duc is not only up to date in terms of engine and chassis, but also in terms of assistance systems: series are Wheelie Control, Curve ABS from Bosch, Traction Control, Ride By Wire and three driving modes ...
... not even this prejudice lasts more.
The test bike was provided to us by Ducati Hamburg.
Conclusion - what gets stuck
The author of these lines likes to admit it: he has a penchant for somesloping motorcycles, types and activities. For this reason, the Yamaha is too distant in its unexcitedness, which is a purely personal rating.The Yamaha is very successful in trying to banish everything from slants except slants from their lives. It's a real tip and will certainly hold its own in the market with all its skills - the Yamaha Tracer 900 GT is ideal for people who are reluctant to make mistakes or drive.
Guys like me have to keep searching. You know ...
Our thanks to Motorrad Ruser for providing the test bike.
