Problem-free, fast, good
In dubious weather conditions, in cold and rain, the Kawa proved to be an unproblematic companion. It is quite astonishing how well the electronic helpers work to tame their power. Almost all of them are needed under these conditions - but at the same time you have a lot of fun with the big SPORTtourer and have to make surprisingly few compromises.
In the city, she is not the first choice – everywhere else she did not afford a single serious nakedness. Rarely have we enjoyed 200 hp so relaxed.

Reliable Tourer
You have to be able to afford it, the Yamaha, which costs around 20,000 euros in better equipment. For this you get a luxurious and mature looking companion for the good and bad days in the life of a motorcyclist. Compared to the adventure bikes, you have to do without the indicated off-road suitability – but probably no one has complained about it yet. That's right.
Choose the destination and have confidence: if it doesn't happen with the circumnavigation of the world, it's not up to Yamaha.
The test bike was provided to us by Tecius & Reimers in Hamburg-Eidelstedt.
