Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
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!
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.
