Yamaha MT-07 2019

Even the first MT-07 series was an insanely good basis for sporty riding on naked bikes. With the 2018 model, Yamaha has finally managed to bring the full potential of the CP2 engine to the road. Keyword: chassis. Thanks to simple interventions, the suspension components now have the sporty character we have long desired. The refreshed look also makes them appear much more grown-up. Only the gauges and gearshift units seem a little outdated - but here you can see why the MT-07 is offered at such a competitive price!

Triumph Street Triple S 2018

Clean responsiveness, great sound and a driving position - the Street Triple S offers a comfortable yet sporty riding experience. The naked bike rides with exceptional precision and agility and offers a lot of comfort, even on longer rides, where you can also enjoy the large 17.4-litre fuel tank. The electronic throttle control ensures precise response and makes it possible to set different riding modes. We also found the comparatively low vibrations for a triple and the pleasant geometry of the vehicle positive. Compared to the other bikes in the test and its two siblings, the R and RS, the chassis is a little lax - but the ingenious, husky roaring three-cylinder sound was convincing and definitely made our hearts beat faster!

Great handling

Brilliant sound

Beautiful looks

Comfortable seat

Big tank

Chassis and technical equipment leave room for improvement
