Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 R 2014

BMW S 1000 R 2014

Brutal power, smooth, almost perfect, electronics, it only gets better with the HP4. Now BMW dominates the 1000cc naked bike class after the superbikes.

Sporty chassis

extreme power and performance

very good electronic helpers

terrific price/performance ratio

fast and comfortable on the racetrack and on country roads.

Slightly rough engine running

DDC works well, but still rather on the "hard" side overall

seat relatively high

tempts to overdrive

design a matter of taste.

Yamaha MT-09 2025

Yamaha MT-09 2025

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

good ergonomics for good feedback and confidence

lavish basic features

precise chassis with good everyday tuning

beautiful display

good workmanship

agile and playful handling

versatile three-cylinder engine

good stability

modern electronics package

Fiddly indicator function

seat comfort in the crotch area could be improved

controls less intuitive than on some competitors

polarised front design
