Yamaha Tracer 900 GT versus Suzuki V-Strom 1000

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 ...

Conclusion - what's stuck?

What remains? Astonishingly, it is the on-board computer that characterizes the Suzi. Never before. The computer is clear: With a switch you can choose additional information such as range or temperature. With the second switch, the pilot chooses from three stages the intervention of the traction control - and finished. There is simply no more. If you feel like some competitors have purchased a mobile Playstation, there is nothing that would be further than the V-current.

Doesn't it sound like love at first sight? Maybe not, but the solid and trouble-free handling of the Suzuki V-Strom 1000, which we noticed already at the first encounter, describes the Suzuki everywhere and in every situation. If you want to ride a motorbike fast but relaxed, if you want to study the user manual, who likes the look and who likes to surf on the torque wave: Love does not always arise at first sight, give yourself the chance.

The test machine was kindly provided to us by Bergmann & Söhne in Tornesch. It can be purchased there as a guide for 10,690 € with about 2,500 km - good offer!
