Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2017

A worthy new edition from Honda. Even if it doesn't quite shine as brightly in the standard version as it does with the Öhlins Gold in the "SP" version, the Fireblade is a much better bike in 2017. The electronics package is good, the handling great and the seating position very good. The bike looks like a unified whole and will make Honda fans happy.

Good brakes

Low weight and nimble handling

Engine has plenty of power from the rev range

High build quality

No shift assistant

sluggish and not very precise throttle grip

chassis "nice" on the racetrack but not good enough to precisely set the scene for the great handling

disadvantages at peak performance on long straights

Yamaha MT-07 2018

The MT-07 is an incredible fun machine that is extremely sporty to ride. The brakes pack a punch, the handling is superb and the engine is currently by far the most agile power unit in this class - and even above. The light handling fits in perfectly and the aggressive design with its many corners and edges is also appealing. Only the chassis makes the typically good compromise between comfort and sport and should probably remind you that the affordable MT-07 also has a lot to offer beginners.

Extremely agile engine

very light handling

low weight

aggressively angular look

powerful brakes

comfortable seating position

throaty sound

Chassis a little soft

footrests drag quickly

some cheap plastic parts

boring telescopic fork

instruments could be easier to read.
