Overview - Yamaha XSR900 2016 vs MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR 2015

The Yamaha XSR900 2016 and the MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR 2015 are both naked bikes with similar engine configurations, as they both have 3-cylinder engines. However, there are several key differences between the two models.

In terms of engine power, the MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR 2015 has a clear advantage, with 140 HP compared to the Yamaha XSR900 2016's 115 HP. This difference in power is likely to result in a more thrilling and exhilarating riding experience on the MV Agusta.

In terms of torque, the Yamaha XSR900 2016 has a slight advantage, with 87.5 Nm compared to the MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR 2015's 86 Nm. While this difference may not be significant, it could potentially result in better acceleration and responsiveness on the Yamaha.

Both bikes have upside-down telescopic forks for their front suspension, which is a common feature in high-performance motorcycles. The Yamaha XSR900 2016 has a swing arm for its rear suspension, while the MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR 2015 has a single swing arm. The choice of rear suspension design can affect the handling and stability of the bike, but without further information, it is difficult to determine which design is superior.

In terms of chassis, both bikes have aluminum frames. However, the Yamaha XSR900 2016 has a twin tube frame, while the MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR 2015 has a tubular frame. The choice of frame design can affect the overall rigidity and weight distribution of the bike, but again, without further information, it is difficult to determine which design is superior.

In terms of advanced rider assistance systems, both bikes have ABS. However, the MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR 2015 also has ride by wire and a quickshifter, which can enhance the overall riding experience and make gear shifts smoother and faster.

In terms of dimensions and weights, there are some notable differences between the two models. The MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR 2015 has a shorter wheelbase of 1380 mm compared to the Yamaha XSR900 2016's 1440 mm. This difference in wheelbase can affect the overall agility and maneuverability of the bike. Additionally, the MV Agusta has a slightly lower seat height of 810 mm compared to the Yamaha's 815 mm, which may be more suitable for riders with shorter inseams.

In terms of fuel tank capacity, the MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR 2015 has a larger tank with a capacity of 16.6 liters, compared to the Yamaha XSR900 2016's 14 liters. This difference in fuel capacity may result in longer range and fewer fuel stops on the MV Agusta.

In terms of strengths, the Yamaha XSR900 2016 is praised for its greedy engine, well-tuned riding modes, standard ABS and TC, authentic modern design, and clean workmanship. On the other hand, the MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR 2015 is commended for its powerful engine with a strong character, tight chassis, good equipment, cool design, and helpful electronics.

In terms of weaknesses, the Yamaha XSR900 2016 is criticized for its hard chassis, uncomfortable seat, and the speedblock design that is already present on many other models. The MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR 2015 is noted for its modest comfort, bold color combination, slight response problems in the rev range, and unattractive collector.

Overall, both the Yamaha XSR900 2016 and the MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR 2015 have their own strengths and weaknesses. The choice between the two models ultimately depends on the rider's preferences and priorities, such as power, handling, comfort, and design.

Yamaha XSR900 2016

Yamaha XSR900 2016

The XSR900 combines the performance of a sporty streetfighter with the look of a pleasing, cleanly finished retro naked bike. In doing so, the Japanese make use of their own history, which can be found bundled and without gaps in the archive of the design agency that has been working for Yamaha for 60 years. It adopts the virtues of the MT-09 and has mended some of its weaknesses. It rides more harmoniously, more controlled and, if desired, more relaxed. Only the comfort, and thus the rider, suffers from the tight chassis on bad roads. You have to be a little bit sensitive when it comes to a neo-classic.

If you want a special motorbike with character, emotion and erotic design, you buy an Italian one. If you want a special Italian motorbike, you buy an MV Agusta. This means that if you want something even more exclusive and rare, you ride a Motociclo from Varese. The design inspires even less interested passers-by and the sound leaves its mark deep in the soul of every motorbike disciple. Powerful performance, tight chassis and solid technology. Noticeable for the purpose of getting faster and not (only) for safety.
