We like to avoid talking about motorbikes as utility vehicles, but the NC 750 S is so useful that it makes that word likeable again. The storage compartment under the dummy tank is still unique and an ingenious feature of this naked bike that shines not with sportiness and action, but with almost perfect function and usability. With the additional riding modes, the DCT now works even better. A motorbike, not for stunt riders, but for city and country riders.

Even after three years, the Yamaha MT-07 is still a public favourite. No one else beats such a price-performance ratio. The two-cylinder engine is powerful, but can be dosed very gently at low revs. The display is also one of the best in this class, with good readability. Only the chassis is disappointing. In a sporty riding style, it is simply too soft, which can cause the MT-07 to sway.
