Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2021

Precise, powerful and fast! The Triumph is a lot of fun on Alpine passes. However, you can only forgive the tight chassis if you are a sporty rider. But you have to love the engine. No matter whether you're strolling or heating up - the power is always available in a well-dosed manner.

Incredibly universal - easy to drive in city traffic but also super fast when needed

Rev-happy and powerful engine

Top quickshifter

Can be driven quietly when needed

Light and compact ride

Stable handling even in fast corners

Strong brakes

Precise handling.

Load change reactions at low speeds

slightly too low steering angle

narrow knee angle for tall people

stubborn mobile phone connectivity

squeaky brakes

traction control too defensive even in track mode

vibrations on the handlebars

suspension does not respond sensitively enough - basic set-up too tight.

Yamaha MT-10 SP 2017

With the SP version, the MT-10 becomes cooler, more desirable and, thanks to the high-quality chassis, better. The semi-active suspension from the R1M is the best in the naked bike league. Highest quality and best function in combination. The chassis also excites on the racetrack. Nevertheless, the MT-10SP is not a racing machine, because the seating position is not active enough for that.

great chassis

high ride comfort / utility comfort due to the electronic chassis

very emotional but nevertheless cultivated engine

pleasant wind protection

balanced overall package despite radical looks and wicked sound

Traction control not up to the level of the Aprilia

Too inactive seating position on the racetrack
