The Yamaha MT-09 2021 and the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 2021 are both naked bikes that offer powerful performance and advanced rider assistance systems. However, there are several key differences between the two models.

In terms of engine specifications, the Yamaha MT-09 is equipped with an inline 3-cylinder engine with a displacement of 889cc, producing 119 horsepower and 93 Nm of torque. On the other hand, the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory features a V4 engine with a displacement of 1077cc, delivering a higher power output of 175 horsepower and 121 Nm of torque. This makes the Tuono V4 1100 Factory significantly more powerful than the MT-09.

Both bikes come with upside-down telescopic forks for the front suspension and a swing arm with a monoshock for the rear suspension. The chassis of both models is made of aluminum, providing a lightweight and sturdy frame. However, the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory offers the added advantage of electronically adjustable suspension from Öhlins, enhancing its sporty performance and ride quality.

Yamaha MT-09 2021

The ingredients for the 2021 update are right: More power, more equipment, more electronics, less weight. If you take a look at the key data of the latest MT-09, including its over-complete standard equipment, "mid-range naked bike" almost sounds a bit pejorative. The Japanese engineers have made improvements exactly where they were needed. The swaying chassis is now a thing of the past and the load change reactions have also been eliminated from the revised three-cylinder engine. The additional power paired with a little more pressure in the mid-range gives a sovereign riding feeling. The MT-09 offers a lot of equipment and enormous riding pleasure at a very attractive price. If you like the look, you can buy it without hesitation.
