Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB650R 2022

Honda's CB650R proves brilliantly that four-cylinder naked bikes with little displacement are also a real source of joy on the country road. The engine tuning provides enough pressure from the hairpin bend and rewards with a wonderful four-cylinder shriek after a short wait. The chassis components offer a solid balance between everyday life and sportiness.

engine with good revving

adequate power

sporty seating position

wide handlebars

comfortable for everyday use

somewhat sluggish

display functional, but not exciting

Yamaha MT-09 SP 2021

The Yamaha MT-09 SP is based on the really well-done MT-09. In 2021, a particularly fine vintage! But the upgrade goes one better! The high-quality chassis provides a great compromise between riding comfort and sportiness.

Upright, comfortable seating position

Well-tuned chassis

Mappings and traction control are quick and easy to adjust

High-quality workmanship

Lovely details

Great tuned engine

Great acceleration and lots of pressure in the relevant rev range.

Horn mounted in a crude way

poor display
