Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-09 2019

Riding fast is possible, but exhausting. The high handlebars are counterproductive on the race track and require a lot of physical effort. The MT-09 can't keep up with the Street Triple R, even with WP suspension.

Powerful engine with plenty of torque

Fine control of traction control

No blipper function

High handlebars give little feedback

Rough throttle response

Early-regulating ABS

Yamaha XSR900 2023

The Yamaha XSR900 is a sporty retro bike with a powerful three-cylinder engine and modern electronics such as lean angle-dependent traction control and cornering ABS. It impresses with its stability, agile handling and firm suspension, although it does let bumps through on longer stages. It is ideal for lovers of sporty bikes with retro charm.
