Yamaha MT-09 Y-AMT 2024

Yamaha's new automated manual transmission in the MT-09 offers an interesting alternative to manual shifting. In "AT" mode, automated clutching makes riding easier, especially in city traffic, while "MT" mode preserves riding pleasure and sportiness. The neutral gear is now in first position, followed by gears 1 to 6, which enables smoother gear changes. Although the Y-AMT technology requires some familiarisation and there are limitations, such as the lack of "sliding" by pulling the clutch, yet the driving experience remains dynamic.
Ducati Scrambler Icon 2021

While the many different motorbike genres are becoming increasingly blurred and overlapping, the Ducati Scrambler Icon is indeed the uncomplicated and robust scrambler promised in its name. The wide handlebars make for unbelievably easy handling, so it's easy to forgive the fact that the comfort-oriented chassis has no adjustable fork, while the shock absorber can at least be adjusted in rebound and spring preload. You also forgive the fact that the front single disc needs quite a bit of manual force; after all, it is very commendable that a cornering ABS is fitted as standard. The rest of the equipment, however, is again in keeping with the minimalist style, which is perhaps even a little exaggerated in the case of the (outdated) LCD instruments. All in all, however, the Scrambler Icon convinces above all with its successful appearance, which conveys what it's all about even when stationary: lifestyle instead of riding style!
