Honda CB 600 F Hornet 2009

The 600 Hornet is already a classic in this segment. The first Hornet was inexpensive and at heart it was a somewhat slimmed-down CBR. Just under 100 hp and the cool design were enough to be able to show off everywhere, even with little money.

Yamaha MT-09 2016

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.

Wonderfully powerful three-cylinder powerplant

three power modes

fully adjustable chassis

quickshifter as standard

sporty upright seating position

good brakes

aggressive looks

traction control.

Saddle a little too hard for long tours

licence plate holder on the swingarm offers less splash protection than a conventional one
