Overview - Yamaha MT-07 2016 vs Yamaha MT-09 2013
The Yamaha MT-07 2016 and the Yamaha MT-09 2013 are both naked bikes from Yamaha, but they have some notable differences in terms of specifications and strengths.
Starting with the technical specifications, the Yamaha MT-07 2016 is equipped with a 689cc in-line 2-cylinder engine that produces 75 horsepower and 68 Nm of torque. On the other hand, the Yamaha MT-09 2013 features a larger 847cc in-line 3-cylinder engine that delivers 115 horsepower and 87.5 Nm of torque. This gives the MT-09 a significant advantage in terms of power and performance.
In terms of suspension, both bikes feature telescopic forks in the front. However, the MT-07 2016 has a steel frame, while the MT-09 2013 has an aluminum frame. This could potentially affect the weight and handling of the bikes, with the MT-07 being lighter at 179 kg compared to the MT-09 at 188 kg.

Now let's move on to the strengths and weaknesses of each bike. The Yamaha MT-07 2016 is praised for its very agile engine, easy handling, low weight, and aggressively angular look. It also has powerful brakes, a comfortable seating position, a throaty sound, and an extensive and easy-to-read display. However, it is criticized for having a chassis that is a little soft, with footrests that can drag and some cheap plastic parts. The telescopic fork is also considered boring.
On the other hand, the Yamaha MT-09 2013 is commended for its reasonable price and powerful engine. However, it is noted to have a hard chassis and higher fuel consumption compared to the MT-07.
In conclusion, the Yamaha MT-07 2016 and the Yamaha MT-09 2013 have different strengths and weaknesses. The MT-07 excels in terms of handling, weight, and overall agility, while the MT-09 offers more power and a lower price point. Ultimately, the choice between the two would depend on the rider's preferences and priorities.

Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-07 2016
Even after three years, the Yamaha MT-07 is still a public favourite. No one else beats such a price-performance ratio. The two-cylinder engine is powerful, but can be dosed very gently at low revs. The display is also one of the best in this class, with good readability. Only the chassis is disappointing. In a sporty riding style, it is simply too soft, which can cause the MT-07 to sway.

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.
