Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2018
The Yamaha MT-09 is the refinement of an already very good mid-range naked bike. With better suspension components from Öhlins and Kayaba, a nicer paint job and a justifiably higher price, the SP version is clearly the sportiest choice within the Yamaha MT-09 range. The brute power of the engine does not allow the MT-09 SP to be ridden comfortably, but that is not necessary on the "Special" - the fun is clearly in the foreground!
MV Agusta Stradale 800 2017
The MV Agusta Stradale 800 is no classic touring bike. It’s a fun bike with touring elements, a supermoto tourer with Italian grandiosity – and that’s precisely what makes it so appealing. The ergonomics are unusual, the engine needs revs, the transmission can feel a bit clunky, and the controls take some getting used to. But if you give it a chance, you’ll find yourself with a rare bike full of character, featuring a single swing arm, three cylinder exhaust, standard side panniers and a touch of recklessness that modern bikes often lack.
