Yamaha MT-09 2015

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.

Despite its radical ergonomics and high-powered sports engine, the Suzuki GSX-R 600 (K5) manages to impress on the long stages of the Race Around Austria. Its engine runs smoothly and the chassis offers more than just a minimum level of comfort. In combination with the nimble Michelin tyres, it creates a sporty, direct riding experience that you wouldn't expect from an 18-year-old bike. And when it comes to fast laps on the race track, the Gixxer is still very popular. The lap time in Brno (2:17 minutes) with Bartin Mauer speaks for itself.
