Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-09 2016
The Yamaha MT-09 did not need to be reinvented for the coming season - it already was extremely well done almost four years ago. Instead, the Japanese focus on fine-tuning and adding practical, contemporary gimmicks such as traction control and automatic shifting. Due to the Euro4 standard, however, the engine management has been changed once again and offers an emphatically powerful but well controllable power delivery in standard mode; the power explosion of the first generation is now no longer offered even by the sharper A mode. The biggest change, recognisable at first glance, is the, in my opinion, extremely successful design with the more aggressive front and the newly designed rear. All in all, an even snazzier naked bike that was clearly built for the fun of motorcycling.
Triumph Street Triple 765 R 2017
The golden mean of the three Street Triple Schwesetern S, R and RS inspires with balanced riding performance - not too comfortable but far enough away from the top model RS. The engine characteristics aim for a bulbous middle in the rev range and exude a lot of charisma - among other things because of the unique sound. In terms of handling, there is hardly anything better; the Street Triple is the lightest in its class. For smaller riders, there is a version with a low seat height, and for A2 licence holders, there is a variant with 95 hp that can easily be throttled down to 48 hp.
