Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2021
The Yamaha MT-09 SP is based on the really well-done MT-09. In 2021, a particularly fine vintage! But the upgrade goes one better! The high-quality chassis provides a great compromise between riding comfort and sportiness.
Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2019
As before, the RS top model is indeed the most desirable of the Street Triples. In addition to the usual playful handling, the super-direct Brembo brakes and the lively character of the three-cylinder engine, there is now a more bulbous mid-range, upgraded electronics as well as a Brembo M50 brake and the once again sharpened appearance. Thanks to the very sporty Pirelli Supercorsa SP V3 tyres, trackdays are indeed a serious issue, and the now standard shift assistant with blipper function greatly increases the incentive to switch to the new model. A wonderful fun machine for both country road and track!
