Yamaha MT-09 2021

The ingredients for the 2021 update are right: More power, more equipment, more electronics, less weight. If you take a look at the key data of the latest MT-09, including its over-complete standard equipment, "mid-range naked bike" almost sounds a bit pejorative. The Japanese engineers have made improvements exactly where they were needed. The swaying chassis is now a thing of the past and the load change reactions have also been eliminated from the revised three-cylinder engine. The additional power paired with a little more pressure in the mid-range gives a sovereign riding feeling. The MT-09 offers a lot of equipment and enormous riding pleasure at a very attractive price. If you like the look, you can buy it without hesitation.

Despite its sportiness, Ducati's redesigned and equipped Supersport 950 /S offers a good degree of suitability for everyday use and sufficient power for the country road or occasional trackdays. If you want to remedy the last remaining shortcoming, the throttle response in the lower rev range, which is characterised by load changes, you could consider changing the secondary gear ratio from 15/43 to 14/43. The one-tooth smaller drive pinion costs only a few euros, improves throttle response at low revs and also keeps handlebar and mirror vibrations within acceptable limits.
