You won't find such a coherent package with such fine details anywhere else at this price. The ER-6n has become a little sharper again, both visually and dynamically, and is more fun than ever.

slimmer waist

increased intake noise

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.

Saddle a little too hard for long tours

licence plate holder on the swingarm offers less splash protection than a conventional one
