Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Tiger Sport 2014

In direct comparison with its little sister, the Tiger 800 XC, the Tiger Sport 1050 can only score in one area: The brakes are extremely well-balanced and apply properly when you need them. In most other disciplines, however, it cannot prevail. Especially in handling, the big 1050 is much more stubborn than its little sister. Since it can't really be used off-road, its radius of action is much narrower than that of the Tiger 800 XC. However, if you are looking for a universal partner for the road, which, in addition to a comfortable riding position, should also offer a certain amount of sport, the Tiger Sport 1050 is certainly not the wrong choice.

Sporty and distinctive design

powerful three-cylinder engine

good sound

comfortable seating position

excellent brakes

stable chassis.

Stubborn handling in tight corners

not suitable for off-road use

Yamaha MT-07 2018

The MT-07 is an incredible fun machine that is extremely sporty to ride. The brakes pack a punch, the handling is superb and the engine is currently by far the most agile power unit in this class - and even above. The light handling fits in perfectly and the aggressive design with its many corners and edges is also appealing. Only the chassis makes the typically good compromise between comfort and sport and should probably remind you that the affordable MT-07 also has a lot to offer beginners.

Extremely agile engine

very light handling

low weight

aggressively angular look

powerful brakes

comfortable seating position

throaty sound

Chassis a little soft

footrests drag quickly

some cheap plastic parts

boring telescopic fork

instruments could be easier to read.
