Versys 1000 2024 vs Tracer 9 2024

In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The Versys 1000 and Tracer 9 produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. When it comes to agility, the Tracer 9 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 40kg less than the Versys 1000, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the Tracer 9. Its seat height is 30mm lower than the Versys 1000, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the tracer9 offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
