Yamaha MT-09 2023

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

somewhat indirect front wheel feel

cruise control only available in SP variant

BMW F 900 XR 2025

BMW F 900 XR 2025

A bike in this performance class probably couldn't be more accessible. The XR waggles playfully through the bends and immediately inspires confidence in the saddle. Even lengthy touring is easy and you always get out of the saddle feeling relaxed. However, the sporty look of the BMW also awakens a desire for some thrills. However, the engine cannot quite fulfil this desire. The engine, transmission and quickshifter are a little too tame overall and could do with a little more sportiness.

Clean engine reponsiveness

very easy to ride bike

cool looks, great display

good brakes

light handling

stable riding feel

great connectivity

high maximum lean angle

well-tuned ABS

easy to manoeuvre

reliable and practical Advanced Rider Assistance Systems such as lean angle ABS

moderate seat height and slim design for universal comfort

good value for money.

somewhat doughy transmission with tough quickshifter
