Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-07 2014

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 powerplant in this class - and even above.

Extremely agile engine

very light handling

low weight

aggressively angular appearance

powerful brakes

comfortable seating position

throaty sound

extensive and easy-to-read display.

Suspension a little soft

footrests drag quickly

partly cheap plastic parts

boring telescopic fork.

Honda CB650R 2020

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 gives enough pressure from the hairpin bend and rewards with a wonderful four-cylinder shriek after a short wait. The suspension components clearly attempt a balancing act between everyday life and sportiness, which is why unrest can quickly be found in the vehicle when approaching the cornering at a brisk pace. Somehow, however, this imperfection gives the Honda a lot of character and gives the rider the feeling of having to actively integrate himself into the action. For country road racers with a daily commute, a real recommendation!

Rev-happy engine

reasonable power

sporty seating position

wide handlebars

very rideable motorbike

comfortable for everyday use

pretty display.

Weakness in the chassis can be seen as a disadvantage

not as much power from the hairpin as two-cylinder competition
