Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-09 2018
A coherent motorbike where everything fits together. The motorbike delivers what its looks promise. High-tech, charisma and lots of adrenaline. It is a mixture of supermoto, naked bike and streetfighter and it loves to be handled irrationally. A cool motorbike. Only in comparison with the MT-09 SP does one begin to miss a high-quality chassis.
Ducati Scrambler 1100 2018
What works for the "small" Scrambler 800 models is now perfected for the Scrambler 1100: A powerful, high-torque "old school" engine that fits the concept wonderfully, paired with a great braking system and high-quality chassis components. This makes the Scrambler 1100 extremely comfortable on the one hand, but also very sporty and superior to any cafe racer in tight cornering. The look is also right, the 1100 models were designed with much more attention to detail than the 800s. As expected, the price is therefore much higher.
