Triumph Speed Triple 1050 2015

Triumph Speed Triple 1050 2015

More power, more kilos, more rubber . It is certainly not the most manageable, which makes climbing the Tyrolean mountains over hundreds of hairpin bends exhausting at times. But it is more mature than the Street Triple, knows how to glide along the valley smoothly and without getting on your nerves, and for some reason feels more trustworthy and secure.

Powerful three-cylinder engine

sporty driving feel

upright seating

stable frame.

Showa suspension elements slightly uncomfortable

stubborn handling.

Yamaha MT-09 2015

Yamaha MT-09 2015

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.

Wonderfully powerful three-cylinder powerplant

three power modes

fully adjustable chassis

quickshifter as standard

sporty upright seating position

good brakes

aggressive looks

traction control.

Saddle a little too hard for long tours

licence plate holder on the swingarm offers less splash protection than a conventional one
