Yamaha R1 2009

Of course, the new R1 engine also passed all the tough Yamaha stress tests and comes with the same guarantees as other Yamaha motorbikes. Because until now, it was precisely the issues of durability and reliability that prevented series production of such an engine.
Ducati Streetfighter 2009

The "old" Streetfighter surprised me - despite not having a single electronic feature, this forerunner of today's hyper-naked bikes is very easy to ride! Above all, the engine is a stunner, the 154 hp hang wonderfully on the throttle and the 115 Newton metres of torque deliver a massive amount of lard. Of course, there is a lot of rumble in the box, as you would expect from a Ducati V2, but that doesn't bother the true fans anyway. Instead, they enjoy the precise chassis and the amazingly good brakes. The seating position is perfectly acceptable for a naked bike that would today fit into the category of hyper-nakeds. Even the look is only slightly greyed by the halogen headlight, but the rear end is timelessly beautiful!
