Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-09 SP 2021

Yamaha MT-09 SP 2021

The Yamaha MT-09 SP is based on the really well-done MT-09. In 2021, a particularly fine vintage! But the upgrade goes one better! The high-quality chassis provides a great compromise between riding comfort and sportiness.

Upright, comfortable seating position

Well-tuned chassis

Mappings and traction control are quick and easy to adjust

High-quality workmanship

Lovely details

Great tuned engine

Great acceleration and lots of pressure in the relevant rev range.

Horn mounted in a crude way

poor display

Honda CB500F 2017

Honda CB500F 2017

Even after a few years in production, Honda manages to keep the CB 500 F fresh. With LEDs in the front and rear and a revised engine, the naked bike remains a great A2 motorbike tip. Its grown-up appearance gives it a real big-bike feel, which means it doesn't have to hide at all. It could only be better if it had a gear indicator.
