Riding fast is possible, but exhausting. The high handlebars are counterproductive on the race track and require a lot of physical effort. The MT-09 can't keep up with the Street Triple R, even with WP suspension.

Here comes a real firecracker from China on the market! The 800 NK Advanced shines with its over-complete equipment; this bike has features that you won't find anywhere else. Wireless Carplay and Ambiance Light, to name just two highlights, border on decadence. The engine is a joy dispenser with charisma, the chassis is well-balanced and the brakes are correctly dimensioned. Smaller tuning points still need to be tinkered with and traction control will presumably be included in the next model year. However, the package is more than tempting even in the current configuration, considering the low entry price.
