Yamaha MT-09 2021

Yamaha MT-09 2021

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"!

Those who have to watch their money even in higher price ranges are better off with the Tuono V4 1100 RR than with the Factory version - because it offers less: The chassis is only slightly less sensitive than the more expensive Öhlins components of the Factory, but offers a little more comfort on bumpy roads and the narrower tyres (190/55-17 on the RR instead of 200/55-17 on the Factory!) can tip the scales in hairpin bends. The RR version also has the harmonious V4 power plant that gives so much pleasure. All in all, the "cheaper" Tuono can still do more than many of its direct competitors.

Successful optics
