Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 990 Supermoto R 2014

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

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
