Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2024
The Yamaha MT-09 SP is a bike for connoisseurs - for riders who understand that perfection does not always lie in flawless smoothness, but sometimes in deliberate imperfection. It offers a unique blend of Japanese reliability, Swedish suspension expertise and Italian brakes passion, wrapped up in a naked bike that cuts a fine figure both on country roads and in city traffic. If you are prepared to embrace the character of this three-cylinder and invest the extra price for the SP features, you will get a bike that is more than the sum of its parts - a vehicle with soul.
Ducati Monster 2023
You can always argue about the looks and the lack of a trellis frame, but the current Monster is anything but ugly. Basically, it would be a great everyday naked bike with pleasant ergonomics and a braking system that does not surprise even the inexperienced. The rather soft chassis can also be considered an acceptable compromise, but for a Ducati it is rather surprising that at least the front fork was not tuned a little tighter. Unfortunately, the charismatic engine bucks strongly at low revs and thus only shows its wonderful V2 character on the country road. All in all, however, this reflects the overall image of the Monster very well: a typical Ducati that is also good for everyday riding in terms of chassis and brakes.
