Pros and Cons in comparison

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 NC750X 2015

The NC750X actually has only one weakness: its strength. With 55 hp, the all-purpose motorbike is moderately powered, but Honda's product range is so broad and diverse that the NC group was deliberately positioned in this area. The NC750X makes up for a lot in torque, and those who like it sportier can upgrade to a Crossrunner or Crosstourer. The New Concept shines in its second generation with an even higher quality feel, better equipment, a taut fork and a total of 5 riding modes. The 3-stage sport mode makes it practically unnecessary to intervene in the shifting process yourself.

Tight fork

good brakes

ABS as standard

5 DCT modes

high quality

No C-ABS

moderate engine performance
