Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-09 2023

If you take a look at the key data of the MT-09, including its over-complete standard equipment, "mid-range naked bike" almost sounds a little pejorative. The Japanese engineers have made improvements exactly where they were needed. The swaying chassis is now a thing of the past and the load change reactions have also been eliminated from the revised three-cylinder engine. The additional power paired with a little more pressure in the mid-range gives a sovereign riding feeling. The MT-09 offers a lot of equipment and enormous riding pleasure at a very attractive price.

no load change reactions

plenty of pressure from the centre

over-complete electronics package

great working quickshifter

comfortably integrated seating position

successful chassis

lively handling

enormous riding pleasure

Polarising optics

small TFT display

cruise control only available in SP variant

Triumph Speed Twin 900 2025

All in all, the Speed Twin cylinder update is a real treat for modern classic fans who want to combine two worlds: enjoyable cruising with comfort, but also lively cornering with a powerful sound. You get state of the art technology that makes the riding experience even safer and more comfortable. A modern classic bike as it is written in the book.
