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.
Kawasaki Z900 2024

The Kawasaki Z900 may not be up to scratch when it comes to modern, lean angle-dependent electronic features, but it's relatively cheap and you shouldn't underestimate the fan base of the good old inline four - the Z900 is one of the cheapest ways to own such a great engine with just under a litre of displacement in a sporty naked bike! The higher weight is noticeable, but not massively annoying, because the handling and stability are quite alright. In terms of "outdated" electronics, the most annoying thing is the missing shift assistant, which is not even available as an option. Overall, however, the Z900 is a great naked bike with a great price-performance ratio.
