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.
Simply good
Even at the end of our extremely enjoyable test kilometres, the conclusion remains the same: This is a good motorcycle. Suitable for everyday use, on long-haul flights, neither wind pressure nor an extreme knee angle, comfortable bench or operation that solves puzzles are annoying.
The Yamaha Tracer 700 is easy, fluffy and controlled. Yamaha. This is true, and this should come as little surprise, for the experienced and high-quality workmanship.
If you want to upgrade your tracer at the factory, you have a choice of various accessories and four packages. The range ranges from the larger windshield, sports exhaust to various containers and bags. But then there is an end to cheap: Full equipment raises the price to more than 12,000 euros.
The test bike was provided to us by Tecius & Reimers in Hamburg.
