Yamaha MT-09 2016

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.

Wonderfully powerful three-cylinder powerplant

three power modes

fully adjustable chassis

quickshifter as standard

sporty upright seating position

good brakes

aggressive looks

traction control.

Saddle a little too hard for long tours

licence plate holder on the swingarm offers less splash protection than a conventional one

Ducati Hypermotard 939 2018

The Ducati Hypermotard 939 is a real Hollywood star that has already starred in 21 films and TV series. Even on the set of the 2018 naked bike comparison, its looks stole the show from most bikes. As befits a Hollywood starlet, however, the Ducati can be a little bitchy from time to time. For example, it's hard to start off when cold, and its soft forks also make it a little nervous in fast corners. But when you conquer the bull, the feelings of happiness are indescribable and you are rewarded with a wonderful V2 Testastretta sound. Perhaps the biggest drawback: its outdated LCD display, which doesn't fit in at all with the Italian design composition.

engine full of character

lots of torque

terrific sound

beautiful looks

star potential at the motorbike meeting
