Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-09 2018

A coherent motorbike where everything fits together. The motorbike delivers what its looks promise. High-tech, charisma and lots of adrenaline. It is a mixture of supermoto, naked bike and streetfighter and it loves to be handled irrationally. A cool motorbike. Only in comparison with the MT-09 SP does one begin to miss a high-quality chassis.

Optics and character harmonise perfectly

wheels smoothly

lively handling

comfortable seating position even for tall riders

engine feels incredibly powerful

Exhausting when ridden briskly

bike requires more riding skills overall than other naked bikes in the mid-range

feeling for traction on the rear wheel not so great

lack of precision.

CFMOTO 800MT Touring 2023

The CFMOTO 800MT Touring is a relaxed, road-oriented touring enduro with a sensational amount of equipment for its price class. In riding mode, it scores points with the lively 790cc two-cylinder from the KTM 790 models and a fully adjustable chassis. On tour, you'll be pleased with the standard heated seats, heated grips, cruise control and quickshifter. It comes pretty close to the established players in the touring enduro sector, but has a few idiosyncrasies here and there, such as the cruise control that can only maintain speed up to 120 km/h. Apart from that, however, it's a good bike. Apart from that, however, it's a good bike with a top price-performance ratio.

Very much equipment for the price class (main stand, cruise control, heated grips, heated seats, connectivity, TFT display, quickshifter, riding modes, crash bars, etc.)

Lively, lively engine
