Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Speed Triple 1050 2010

Euphoria spread through the long bends. The Triple is a bit more expensive than some Nippon Nakeds with cheap chassis and you can feel it. It remains stable, you can open the throttle hard and you hit the line exactly.

More power

increased torque

reduced weight

agility

greatly improved geometry

precise and fast.

>100kg people might have space problems.

Yamaha Tracer 900 2017

Take two, pay one. With the MT-09 Tracer, you get almost a whole MT-09 with all its sportiness plus a touring bike that is suitable for everyday use and to some extent suitable for travelling, with decent comfort for all situations. Just remember that there are many more comfortable bikes in this category - but hardly any sportier ones. Easier to ride, easier to control with 3 riding modes, ABS and traction control as standard. Only the wind protection could be better and the seat for long distances can only be found in the accessories.

Sporty performance like all MT-09

3 riding modes

ABS and traction control as standard

taut chassis, plenty of lean angle clearance

Wind protection not optimal

seat could be more comfortable

handlebars too wide for the city
