Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2018

The Yamaha MT-09 SP is the refinement of an already very good mid-range naked bike. With better suspension components from Öhlins and Kayaba, a nicer paint job and a justifiably higher price, the SP version is clearly the sportiest choice within the Yamaha MT-09 range. The brute power of the engine does not allow the MT-09 SP to be ridden comfortably, but that is not necessary on the "Special" - the fun is clearly in the foreground! The Yamaha MT-09 EVO with Wilbers suspension is now available as an interesting alternative, because it has no "war paint" and is very discreet. But unfortunately only for Switzerland...
Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2024

**Conclusion** The Triumph Street Triple RS impresses as a sporty naked bike with precise and stable riding performance, excellent brakes and a powerful three-cylinder engine. The comprehensive electronic equipment and high build quality round off the positive overall picture. Despite the tight setup and the necessary warm-up time for the tyres, the Street Triple RS offers an outstanding riding experience for riders with sporting ambitions. Minor weaknesses such as the cumbersome operation of the joystick and the moderate spray protection are more than compensated for by the bike's versatility and customisation options. Overall, the Street Triple RS is an excellent choice for those who value sporty precision and riding pleasure.
