Yamaha MT-07 2019

Yamaha MT-07 2019

Even the first MT-07 series was an insanely good basis for sporty riding on naked bikes. With the 2018 model, Yamaha has finally managed to bring the full potential of the CP2 engine to the road. Keyword: chassis. Thanks to simple interventions, the suspension components now have the sporty character we have long desired. The refreshed look also makes them appear much more grown-up. Only the gauges and gearshift units seem a little outdated - but here you can see why the MT-07 is offered at such a competitive price!

High-torque two-cylinder

well-done chassis update

easy to ride

pleasant seating position

large selection of accessories

price-performance fits

Dashboards look a little old

controls on handlebars a little cheap

KTM 1290 Super Adventure 2015

KTM 1290 Super Adventure 2015

The 1290 Super Adventure is rightly presented by KTM as an adventure flagship. Packed with sophisticated electronics and almost everything you could possibly need in a big touring enduro, it recommends itself as expected for the long haul. What you don't immediately see from its bulky appearance, however, is that the Super Adventure, like its 1190 sisters, is an incredible fun machine. Especially in tight corners, it is unbelievable fun. The electronics control traction, chassis and engine management so unobtrusively that you can concentrate fully and above all safely on accelerating. On the intermediate straights, the 160 hp of power ensure that the 1290 Super Adventure can also meet sporting requirements and is thus hardly surpassed in terms of universality.
