Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-09 2018

Yamaha MT-09 2018

A coherent motorbike where everything fits together. The motorbike delivers what its looks promise. High-tech, charisma and lots of adrenaline. It is a mixture of supermoto, naked bike and streetfighter and it loves to be handled irrationally. A cool motorbike. Only in comparison with the MT-09 SP does one begin to miss a high-quality chassis.

Optics and character harmonise perfectly

wheels smoothly

lively handling

comfortable seating position even for tall riders

engine feels incredibly powerful

Exhausting when ridden briskly

bike requires more riding skills overall than other naked bikes in the mid-range

feeling for traction on the rear wheel not so great

lack of precision.
