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.

Like all the years before, the GSX-R would have been better, lighter, stronger and faster. But on the race track in Rijeka, the Suzuki revealed its full potential. The standard chassis worked simply and perfectly right from the start. The competition will cut their teeth on it.

Great compromise - stability, agility

level brakes

anti-hopping clutch

great engine

compact seating position

efficient windshield

powerful engine.

No USD fork
