Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 2018

Aprilia's Dorsoduro 900 is a familiar candidate in the supermoto segment. Power and handling are not at the top of the field, but they are perfectly sufficient to make it a real fun bike for the country road. Moreover, the Dorsoduro is considered a comparatively rare motorbike, which is why you certainly won't get lost in the crowd at the motorbike meeting. The Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 is our recommendation for all those who want supermoto looks but also want to ride longer tours in a relaxed manner.

good sound

easy handling

extensive assistance systems

Yamaha MT-09 2016

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
