No, our high expectations were by no means disappointed – not even a bit! The R 1200 GS Rally not only made us very good, but it makes it really difficult for us to find criticisms. Well, it's quite expensive. But quality has a price. And if you look at the prices on the second-hand market, you have to say that gs keeps its value quite long. In addition, it is of course up to everyone to decide whether they really need all the equipment packages. Clearly all do their tasks reliably and well, however, drive up the price again neatly. And already in the basic equipment we have to deal with a mature, great bike!
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.
