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.

MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR 2020

The MV Agusta Brutale 800RR is certainly not a run-of-the-mill motorbike. It's great that something like this is still being built! If you are not put off by the high price, you will get a precise naked bike that in no way has to shy away from comparison with the competition from a dynamic point of view. The beguiling sound that this three-cylinder develops is the icing on the cake of this unique overall package. In expert hands on the country road, the MV Agusta is definitely hard to beat. Of course, the paradise bird also has one or two weaknesses, but these are easily forgiven in view of its uniqueness.

Most powerful motorbike up to 800 cubic metres on the market

unique look

great chassis

quickshifter as smooth as butter, with intermediate throttle fireworks

electronics package coherent

Gear ratio too long for country roads

LC display outdated and difficult to read
