Triumph Street Twin 2019
Except for its looks, the Triumph Street Twin is not as retro as it might appear at first glance. With its water-cooled engine, riding modes, traction control and sporty chassis components, it rather gives the impression of a naked bike disguised in retro design. But all these features, in combination with the powerful torque, become its advantage, as it does not have to hide from equally powered naked bikes at the motorbike show. The Best of Both Worlds, so to speak.
Yamaha MT-09 2014
The Yamaha MT-09 did not need to be reinvented for the coming season - it already was extremely well done almost four years ago. Instead, the Japanese focus on fine-tuning and adding practical, contemporary gimmicks such as traction control and automatic shifting. Due to the Euro4 standard, however, the engine management has been changed once again and offers an emphatically powerful but well controllable power delivery in standard mode; the power explosion of the first generation is now no longer offered even by the sharper A mode. The biggest change, recognisable at first glance, is the, in my opinion, extremely successful design with the more aggressive front and the newly designed rear. All in all, an even snazzier naked bike that was clearly built for the fun of motorcycling.
