GOING THE DISTANCE
2019 Yamaha Tracer 900GT £10,849
Some bikes deliver a headline punch that means every ride is dominated by the most alluring character trait, forcing you to forgive it myriad other foibles. Others are just brilliant without boasting a single stand-out feature – like BMW’s R1250GS or Yamaha’s Tracer 900GT.
There are no bells worth ringing, or whistles to blow, the 900GT is just a beautifully balanced mix of nutty-but-versatile engine, pleasant styling, decent spec and electronics, rider comfort (poor screen aside) and value for money. Making it even more affordable is the provision of 0% APR on HP, meaning a zero-cost impact from spreading the payments.
If PCP is your thing, then you’ll have to swallow 4.9% APR in the deal.
