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.
Suzuki GSR 750 2017
A razor-sharp design with an aggressive front and narrow rear - just as speedy street raiders have always wanted. It is a pity that the rear swingarm was neglected (officially for weight reasons, unofficially for cost reasons), and the front dual-piston brake system seems a little weak. However, the performance during the ride, both at high speed and in tight corners, is quite good.
