So this is it: the first two-cylinder motorbike from the young Brixton brand. And we can only say: Hats off! The Crossfire 500 is a strong statement in the A2 class up to 48 hp that doesn't have to hide from the established competition! A lively engine, cool looks, renowned products in brakes and chassis, as well as good workmanship are a tasty recipe for such a fun bike. If the front brake needed a little less power, the only thing to complain about would be the readability of the LC display. A real enrichment of this performance class! And if this is only the beginning of a hopefully long and successful Brixton history, we can still look forward to great things!

The MT-03 remains Yamaha's most accessible and pragmatic Hyper Naked in the segment. It scores with its low seat height, the easily controllable power of the two-cylinder and at the same time offers enough comfort for commuters. What it may lack in sportiness, it makes up for in comfort, making it perfect for people looking for a well-functioning motorbike with a brutal look. However, you shouldn't be too big, and you shouldn't aspire to keep up with the other models in the MT range at the angle - because that's not what it was designed for. The 2020 model year is thus a coherent update that is sure to make its buyers happy.

Well controllable power

Low seat height

Easy to ride

Low consumption

Easy to read LC display

Aggressive look

Sharp knee angle for tall people

Soft chassis compared to other Yamaha MT models

Not the most emotional motorbike
