Yamaha MT-09 Y-AMT 2024

Yamaha MT-09 Y-AMT 2024

Yamaha's new automated manual transmission in the MT-09 offers an interesting alternative to manual shifting. In "AT" mode, automated clutching makes riding easier, especially in city traffic, while "MT" mode preserves riding pleasure and sportiness. The neutral gear is now in first position, followed by gears 1 to 6, which enables smoother gear changes. Although the Y-AMT technology requires some familiarisation and there are limitations, such as the lack of "sliding" by pulling the clutch, yet the driving experience remains dynamic.

Easier riding in city traffic

Maintains a sporty driving feel in "MT" mode

Smooth gear changes thanks to new gear arrangement

Keyless ride included

Familiarisation time required No "gliding" through the clutch before corners

system could be more "obedient" or flexible in automatic mode

it is not possible to dose the propulsion as precisely as with a conventional clutch Additional costs of 500 EUR

Honda CB650R 2021

Honda CB650R 2021

13 out of a possible 24 points mean 5th place in the large mid-range naked bike comparison test 2021. The Honda puts up a good fight against the technically more advanced competition and can leave a motorbike behind despite its position as an outsider. Pleasing looks, accessible riding and the low price make the shortcomings that were brought to light in the direct comparison fade into the background.
