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.
