Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2023
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!
Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2023
It is impressive how well the bike manages the balancing act between on-road and off-road, doing exactly what an adventure bike should be able to do or what you want to do with an adventure bike. And this with a level of maturity that is downright astonishing for a new model and shows that Triumph has done its homework and has further developed the already underestimated Tiger 800 in a sensible way. Even if some die-hard Tiger fans may miss the now less pronounced, typical whistling of the three-cylinder engine. I can only answer the question of whether the Tiger 900 Rally Pro is ready for the journey with a "when are we going to start again?"!
