Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-125 2022

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Yamaha MT-09 2024

Yes, Yamaha has produced a really leiwandes bike. All the criticisms of its predecessor have been successfully revised without neutering the wild and playful nature of the MT-09. The fourth generation is more mature, more precise and more polished, rides more neutrally and is more stable without losing its light-footedness. A marvellous bike that currently offers an almost unbeatable price-performance ratio thanks to many detail improvements and has now even become really pretty. The Yamaha dealers won't be able to save themselves from orders after test rides. Let's hope that availability is guaranteed, because the new MT-09 is the definition of the word "direct hit"!

powerful acceleration in every situation / potent engine

aggressive but not too loud sound

improved ergonomics for more feedback and confidence

very good brakes

lavish basic options

precise chassis with good everyday tuning
