Yamaha MT-09 2014

The Yamaha MT-09 did not need to be reinvented for the coming season - it already was extremely well done almost four years ago. Instead, the Japanese focus on fine-tuning and adding practical, contemporary gimmicks such as traction control and automatic shifting. Due to the Euro4 standard, however, the engine management has been changed once again and offers an emphatically powerful but well controllable power delivery in standard mode; the power explosion of the first generation is now no longer offered even by the sharper A mode. The biggest change, recognisable at first glance, is the, in my opinion, extremely successful design with the more aggressive front and the newly designed rear. All in all, an even snazzier naked bike that was clearly built for the fun of motorcycling.

Wonderfully powerful three-cylinder powerplant

three power modes

fully adjustable chassis

quickshifter as standard

sporty upright seating position

good brakes

aggressive looks

traction control.

Saddle a little too hard for long tours

licence plate holder on the swingarm offers less splash protection than a conventional one

The ER-6f will also be available in Austria as a light motorbike - although young people will tend to go for the cooler ER-6n. Both models, however, are motorbikes that are fun to ride for more than just a few months. The engine is particularly suitable for beginners. There is no need to compromise on comfort, throttle response and load change behaviour.

Comfortable cruising speed up to 180km/h

surprisingly powerful

bold looks

decent build quality

easy handling

great braking system

ABS.

Power flattens out too quickly at very high speed
