Yamaha MT-09 SP 2024

Yamaha MT-09 SP 2024

The Yamaha MT-09 SP already had it easy in the previous generation, as it is the even more refined version of an already really good, because wonderfully agile fun machine! The current SP version is no different, but it has been improved even further. A little more power, increased torque and better-tuned electronics make it even more fun. As expected, the suspension with classier KYB and Öhlins components works excellently, the brakes could be a little sharper, but the seating position is still what you would expect from such an agile and easily controllable fun machine. The few quirks like the small TFT display or the controversial light mask in no way make it worse, but simply an even more independent personality!

Extremely agile and powerful engine

comfortable riding position

high-quality suspension elements from KYB and Öhlins

good quickshifter with blipper

distinctive look.

KTM 890 SMT 2024

KTM 890 SMT 2024

The KTM 890 SMT is a bike that oscillates between two worlds - too sporty for touring riders, too heavy for real supermoto fans. But this niche is precisely where its appeal lies: if you are looking for an agile, touring bike with supermoto genes, the 890 SMT is a real fun machine that boldly defies the mainstream. Despite minor weaknesses in terms of comfort and image, it is an insider tip for individualists - and is currently particularly attractive thanks to discounts.

Unique concept: Supermoto meets touring

Agile handling: Surprisingly manoeuvrable for its weight

Powerful engine: Powerful 889 cubic centimetre two-cylinder engine

Sporty riding position: Front-wheel orientated, lots of riding pleasure

Solid comfort: Suitable for touring shorter distances

Unclear target group: Neither touring nor pure supermoto

Vibrations: Noticeable from approx. 80 km/h

Moderate wind protection: Windscreen hardly provides any protection
