Pros and Cons in comparison

SWM SM 500 R 2023

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Yamaha MT-07 2023

In model year 2023, the MT-07 is still a good and universally usable motorbike. Its problem is the tough competition. In a direct comparison, the engine now seems a bit limp and the equipment a bit uninspiring. The good riding position and uncomplicated handling are still good.
