Pros and Cons in comparison

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

Triumph Street Triple 675 R 2012

All it takes is the slightest impulse and the little Englishwoman turns exactly the way you want it to. This manoeuvrability is also unparalleled in the class of medium-sized naked bikes. A motorbike that can be moved in such a sporty manner would not deserve to be abused as a mile-eater and travel steamer.

Less weight

improved performance

light-footed handling

extremely practical in curves

sitting upright.

Unincluded ABS - but not really expensive to buy.
