Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 2012

Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 2012

Mixed breeds are usually robust and loyal companions. They may not have the appearance of a pedigree dog, but often combine the positive characteristics of several breeds in one creature. The Dorsoduro 1200 is also such a mongrel. And unlike most promenade mixes, it also looks good.

Relatively aggressive engine

comfortable, agile seating position.

Engine sometimes sputters

suspension needs getting used to

mild front brake.

Yamaha MT-09 SP 2018

Yamaha MT-09 SP 2018

The Yamaha MT-09 SP is the refinement of an already very good mid-range naked bike. With better suspension components from Öhlins and Kayaba, a nicer paint job and a justifiably higher price, the SP version is clearly the sportiest choice within the Yamaha MT-09 range. The brute power of the engine does not allow the MT-09 SP to be ridden comfortably, but that is not necessary on the "Special" - the fun is clearly in the foreground! The Yamaha MT-09 EVO with Wilbers suspension is now available as an interesting alternative, because it has no "war paint" and is very discreet. But unfortunately only for Switzerland...

incredibly powerful three-cylinder engine

good brakes

sporty and comfortable seating position

ABS

traction control

shift assistant

high saddle

shift assistant only for upshifting

instruments do not stand out strongly from the basic version
